Rising rivers have started to trigger evacuations across a broad section of the state, and computer models are forecasting record flooding.</p> <p>Officials confirmed one fatality near the small coastal town of Rockport, which took a direct hit from the storm, as search and rescue operations continued in ravaged areas that are still largely inaccessible. Officials said Rockport could receive as much as 60 inches of rain through midweek.</p> <p>“We’ve been devastated,” Rockport Mayor C.J. Wax said in a telephone interview. “There are structures that are either significantly disrupted or completely destroyed. I have some buildings that are lying on the street.”</p> <p>In the nearby island town of Port Aransas, officers conducted a search and rescue mission for eight people who have been reported missing, an Aransas County sheriff’s deputy said.</p><div class="inline-content inline-gallery-embedded"> <link href="//www.washingtonpost.com/pb/gr/c/ssiSingle/r0DtBpwKo8Tvoq/css/d9cb19704f.css?_=f2022" rel="stylesheet"/> <link href="//www.washingtonpost.com/pb/gr/p/ssiSingle/r0DtBpwKo8Tvoq/style.css?_=512fa" rel="stylesheet"/> <script>window.pbDeferredSSISingle=window.pbDeferredSSISingle||new Array;</script> <div class="pb-container"> <div class="pb-feature-ssi-single pb-f-theme-normal pb-f-dehydrate-false pb-f-async-false pb-3 pb-feature pb-layout-item pb-f-gallery-gallery" data-chain-name="no-name" data-feature-id="gallery/gallery" data-feature-name="no-name" data-pb-feature-config="gallery/gallery" data-pb-fingerprint="0fh3taXsipu" id="fVVe782Ko8Tvoq"> <div class="wp-volt-gal unprocessed wp-volt-gal-p-end-circular wp-volt-gal-promo-stub wp-volt-gal-on-promo-slide wp-volt-gal-embed-promo wp-volt-gal-embed-promo-hide" data-blurb="The hurricane, which has weakened to a tropical storm, is the first Category 4 storm to hit the United States since Charley in 2004.

All the while, it will dump what could be historic quantities of rain — 15 to 30 inches in many areas, with as much as 40 inches in isolated areas, according to the National Weather Service.</p> <p>As many as 300,000 people across the state were without power Saturday afternoon, and wastewater and drinking-water treatment plants were offline.</p> <p>The National Weather Service predicted “major flood” conditions at some 49 river locations across <span>a vast expanse of </span>coastal Texas.</p> <p>Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) said he had declared 50 counties disaster areas. With the storm now ashore, he said that “our primary concern remains dramatic flooding.” He urged residents to follow the familiar advice: “Turn around, don’t drown.”</p> <p>Many coastal Texans ignored mandatory evacuation orders and hunkered down for Harvey.</p> <p>“We’ve always stayed. Daddy taught us well how to ride out a storm,” said Melissa Stewart, 41, of Victoria. “It’s always better to stay than to run.”</p> <p>That city was directly in the line of fire of Harvey and emerged Saturday looking trashed, with the streets deserted and trees and power lines down all over the city. The once-stately oaks in the public square by the historic courthouse had lost many of their limbs. On the main drag through town, the Exxon station looked demolished, along with a Valero station nearby.<span> Plywood that had been nailed to storefronts littered the streets. Shingles had been blown off roofs.</span> </p><div class="inline-content inline-graphic-linked"> <div class="photo-wrapper"> <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/2017/national/harvey-impact/"><img class="unprocessed placeholder" data-hi-res-src="https://img.washingtonpost.com/rf/image_1484w/2010-2019/WashingtonPost/2017/08/31/National-Enterprise/Advance/Graphics/harvey-impact-promo-2300-v10.jpg?uuid=-GCzVo5cEeecU2oWm-sJUw" data-low-res-src="https://img.washingtonpost.com/rf/image_480w/2010-2019/WashingtonPost/2017/08/31/National-Enterprise/Advance/Graphics/harvey-impact-promo-2300-v10.jpg?uuid=-GCzVo5cEeecU2oWm-sJUw" data-raw-src="https://img.washingtonpost.com/rw/2010-2019/WashingtonPost/2017/08/31/National-Enterprise/Advance/Graphics/harvey-impact-promo-2300-v10.jpg?uuid=-GCzVo5cEeecU2oWm-sJUw" src="https://img.washingtonpost.com/rf/image_60w/2010-2019/WashingtonPost/2017/08/31/National-Enterprise/Advance/Graphics/harvey-impact-promo-2300-v10.jpg?uuid=-GCzVo5cEeecU2oWm-sJUw"/></a> <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/2017/national/harvey-impact/"> <span class="overlay"> <span class="headline">Flooding persists as Harvey downgraded to tropical depression </span><span class="view-graphic">View Graphic <span class="fa fa-arrow-circle-right"></span></span> </span> </a> </div> <span class="pb-caption">Flooding persists as Harvey downgraded to tropical depression</span> </div> <p>Bryan Simons, spokesman for the Victoria County Sheriff’s Office, warned that more devastation was coming.</p> <p>“There will be life-threatening, catastrophic flooding here,” he said.</p> <p>The Tres Palacios River has risen more than 20 feet near Midfield, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. The San Bernard River near the town of Sweeny is expected to rise more than 10 feet above its 1998 record flood stage. The Brazos River is expected to break a flood record set last year, and officials have ordered mandatory evacuations in low-lying areas of Fort Bend County.</p> <p>Among the cities at risk of major flooding is Houston, the nation’s fourth-largest, with a population in excess of 2 million. Saturday evening, the city was buffeted by mammoth rains and nonstop lightning. The National Weather Service was keeping much of the area under tornado watch into the evening.</p> <p>In the southwest part of the city, Brays Bayou was swelling with fast-flowing, debris-filled brown water, and a tornado touched down in a suburban neighborhood.</p> <p>Montry Ray was staying up late to ride out the storm with his wife and two children when the roaring sound of the tornado sent them running for cover in a bathroom. Just as they bolted from the master bedroom, the storm exploded through its wall, embedding bricks in the drywall across the room. The storm ripped open the roof.</p> <p>“You know how they say you hear the train noise?” said 12-year-old Caden Hill, who lives down the street. “I heard it.”</p> <p>He, along with about 50 neighbors, turned out Saturday morning to help clean up. Volunteers chopped fallen trees, hauled away crumpled fences and gathered debris while roofers went to work.</p> <p>To the west, San Antonio Mayor Ron Nirenberg urged residents to continue to stay off the roads as Harvey neared the city and brought wind gusts of op to 60 mph and heavy rain. The city is under a flash flood watch and tropical storm warning.</p> <p>“We don’t want anyone in San Antonio to let their guard down,” Nirenberg said.</p> <p>The city closed 10 roads because of high water, and officials expect that number to grow.</p> <p>The storm made landfall at 10 p.m. Central Time on Friday with 130 mph winds — the first Category 4 storm to hit the United States since Charley in 2004. By late morning Saturday, it had lost some of its punch, but still had hurricane-force winds of 80 mph, having drifted to about 25 miles west of the inland city of Victoria. Shortly after noon, the National Hurricane Center downgraded Harvey to a tropical storm, with sustained winds of 70 mph.</p> <p>Weather officials took to social media and the airwaves Saturday in an effort to persuade people not to become complacent because of the relatively muted impact so far in places away from the Rockport area.</p> <p>In Galveston, a city that lived through the last big Texas hurricane — Ike, in 2008 — residents seemed unconcerned Saturday morning.</p> <p> </p> <p>At the packed Waffle House — one of the few businesses open in the area — Galveston residents Dottie and Kevin Bowden ate breakfast with their 16-year-old granddaughter, Savannah Stewart.</p> <p>“This ain’t nothing,” Kevin Bowden said.</p> <p>All the houses in their neighborhood are built on stilts, so the Bowdens and their neighbors weren’t worried about flooding, and local officials did not issue a mandatory evacuation order. Everyone in the neighborhood stayed to ride out the storm.</p> <p>“We’re not crazy,” said Dottie, 63, who runs a business cleaning rental properties. “If they told us to leave, we would have.”</p> <p>“And this isn’t our first rodeo,” added her husband, 56, who manages personal investments. He said the biggest problem so far was that “we’re running low on Corona.”</p> <p>Farther east, the hurricane has put officials in New Orleans and across Louisiana on alert, and Gov. John Bel Edwards (D) said Saturday that it could be a week before the state has to cope with flooding. He said the pumping system in New Orleans, which flooded earlier this month after a heavy downpour, is steadily improving. “We’re a long ways from being out of the woods, but we are very thankful it hasn’t been more severe up to now,” he said of the storm.</p> <p id="U12203907565033ggE">President Trump signed a <a href="https://gov.texas.gov/uploads/files/press/Governor_Abbott_Requests_Presidential_Disaster_Declaration.pdf" shape="rect" target="_blank">disaster proclamation</a> for Texas on Friday night after Abbott, the governor, sent him a written request saying that “Texas is about to experience one of the worst natural disasters in the history of the state.” White House aides said Trump will visit Texas soon. </p> <p>Trump said in a series of tweets Saturday morning that he is closely monitoring the situation from Camp David and that federal officials have been on the ground since before the storm hit. He urged residents to “be safe” and pledged a thorough federal response. “We are leaving nothing to chance,” he wrote. “City, State and Federal Govs. working great together!”</p> <p channel="wp.com" class="interstitial-link"> <i>[<a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/national/hurricane-harvey-grows-stronger-as-texas-braces-for-historic-storm-to-make-landfall-friday-evening/2017/08/25/b63c8f3c-8992-11e7-a94f-3139abce39f5_story.html?utm_term=.6a442773bed3" shape="rect" title="www.washingtonpost.com">As Hurricane Harvey slams into state, Texans hunker down</a>]</i> </p> <p class="trailer"> <p>Sullivan reported from Houston, Galveston and Victoria.
