                <p class="speakable">In the aftermath of Harvey, the Harris County Institute of Forensic Sciences is about to run out of room for the dead —&nbsp;the morgue has a capacity of 200 bodies and now has about 175 bodies total.</p>

                <p class="speakable">Although most of the dead are not related to the storm, Tricia Bentley, a spokeswoman for the facility, said Thursday that funeral homes have been unable to retrieve the bodies and it has asked for a large refrigerated 18-wheeler to store more of them.</p>
                
                


                
            
                <p>The agency has requested approval from the state for the tractor-trailer and expects to receive it Friday.</p>

                <p>The county, which has had the most deaths from Harvey and is home to the fifth-most populated metropolitan area in the United States, has confirmed <a href="https://ifs.harriscountytx.gov/Documents/HarrisCountyHarvey-RelatedDeaths.pdf" target="_blank">18 storm-related deaths</a> and is investigating 10 more as potentially Harvey-related.</p>
                
                


                
            
                <p>The confirmed death toll from Harvey stood at 31 Thursday afternoon, though it is expected to rise.&nbsp;</p>
                
                


                
            
                <p>Harvey initially slammed Texas as a Category 4 hurricane on Friday, then went back out to sea and lingered off the coast as a tropical storm for days, inundating flood-prone Houston, Harris County’s seat.</p>
