		<p>Hurricane Harvey on Wednesday made a second landfall near the Louisiana-Texas border, lashing the axis with rainfalls.</p>
<p>The National Hurricane Centre in the United States said the landfall had been downgraded to a tropical storm, but still warned that it could wrought &#8220;catastrophic and life-threatening flooding.&#8221; </p>
<p>Houston and other cities across Texas are still reeling from the impact of massive downpours caused by Harvey went it first struck last weekend.</p>
<p>The latest storm landed around 5:00 a.m. Eastern Time, the U.S. NHC said.</p>
<p>Two people were killed when a tree fell onto a truck in Jackson County, Texas, an area that was &#8220;particularly hard hit&#8221; by the storm, local officials said.</p>
<p>Louisiana has reportedly ramped up its emergency resources, doubling up on high water vehicles, boats and helicopters on duty.</p>
<p>The storm has already set a record, pouring 51.88 inches of rain in some parts of Texas, according to the NHC.<br />
President Donald Trump was on ground to access the damage in Texas on Tuesday, touring emergency efforts in Corpus Christi and Austin with his wife, Melania.</p>
