        <p>HOUSTON - The biggest rainstorm in the history of the continental United States finally began to move away from Houston on Tuesday, as the remnants of Hurricane Harvey and its endless, merciless rain bands spun east to menace Louisiana instead.</p>
<p>But, after more than 50 inches of rain over four days, Houston was less of a city and more of an archipelago: a chain of urbanized islands in a muddy brown sea. All around it, flat-bottomed boats and helicopters were still plucking victims from rooftops, and water was still pouring in from overfilled reservoirs and swollen rivers.</p>
<p>Between 25 percent and 30 percent of <a href="https://goo.gl/maps/tA9cWHvysPq" target="_blank">Harris County</a>&nbsp;- home to 4.5 million people in Houston and its near suburbs - was flooded by Tuesday afternoon, according to an estimate from Jeff Lindner, a meteorologist with the county flood control district. That's at least 444 square miles, an area six times the size of the District of Columbia.</p>
<div id="asset-23326504" class="entry_widget_small entry_widget_right"><span class="adv-photo-small"><a href="http://media.pennlive.com/patriot-news/photo/2017/08/30/harvey-a3188550eafb449e.jpg" target="_blank" class="full-size-popup"><img src="/static/common/img/blank.gif" class="lazy adv-photo" data-position="article-small" data-original="http://media.pennlive.com/patriot-news/photo/2017/08/30/23326504-small.jpg" alt="Harvey"></a><span class="photo-data"><span class="caption">Sgt. Steve Perez</span><span class="byline">Houston Police Department via AP</span></span></span>&nbsp;</div>
<p>On Tuesday morning authorities discovered the body of a Houston police officer who had drowned in his patrol car two days earlier, at the storm's height. Sergeant Steve Perez, a veteran officer, was on his way to work on Sunday morning - spending two and a half hours looking for a path through rain-lashed streets - when he drove into a flooded underpass.</p>
<p>Houston Police Chief Art Acevedo said that Perez's wife had asked him not to go in that day. He went, Acevedo said, "because he has that in his DNA."</p>
<p>In all, authorities said at least 22 people had been confirmed dead from the storm. But they said it was difficult to know how many more were missing.</p>
<p>They also said it is too early to assess the total number of homes and other buildings damaged, in part because rescue crews were still having trouble even reaching some areas because of flooded or flood-damaged roads, said Francisco Sanchez, spokesman for the Harris County Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Management.</p>
<p>"We're still in the middle of the response," he said.</p>
<p>Authorities said more than 13,000 people had been rescued from floodwaters, according to the Associated Press, but that number was surely low. Many had been rescued by strangers with boats, who had rescued so many that they themselves had lost count. They left behind homes that could be flooded for days, or weeks, and perhaps lost forever.</p>
<p>Officials said more than 13,300 people were already in shelters. Federal authorities estimated that 30,000 people could be forced from their homes in Texas and surrounding states.</p>

<p>President <a href="http://www.pennlive.com/nation-world/2017/08/drenching_rains_continue_as_tr.html" target="_blank">Donald Trump flew to Texas on Tuesday</a>, and he visited both Corpus Christi, near where the storm made landfall, and state officials in Austin. At one point, he shouted a message to a crowd outside a fire station in Corpus Christi.</p>
<p>"This is historic, it's epic what happened. But you know what, it happened in Texas and Texas can handle anything," he told the crowd, which applauded his remarks and cheered more loudly when he waved the Texas state flag.</p>
<p>The Department of Labor on Tuesday announced that it had approved an initial $10 million grant to help with cleanup efforts in Texas. Trump on Monday declared "emergency conditions" in Louisiana, where the storm was headed next.</p>

<p>Before Harvey struck this weekend, the biggest recorded rainstorm in the continental U.S. had been Tropical Storm Amelia, which dumped 48 inches on Texas in 1978 (even larger storms have been recorded in Hawaii).</p>
<p>Harvey, which drifted out of the jet stream and spun around Houston like a top, smashed the record. By Tuesday afternoon, a rain gauge near Mont Belvieu, 40 miles east of Houston, had recorded 51.9 inches of rain.</p>
<p>Over Harris County alone, Lindner estimated that more than a trillion gallons of rain fell. That was like letting Niagara Falls run full-blast onto Houston for 15 days straight.</p>
<p>The water rushed off the concrete of the expanding city, and overwhelmed the meandering bayous that were its natural path to the sea. The hardest-hit areas were often in the south and southeast, the downstream end of the waterways.</p>

<p>But the water was everywhere: a map of flooded streets, compiled by the Houston Chronicle, showed a city dotted with blue. There were concentrations to the west of the city, too, where water had filled up two enormous upstream reservoirs, named Addicks and Barker, that were built to shield the city from floods like this.</p>
<p>Officials released water from those reservoirs to ease the pressure, but at least one of the reservoirs still overtopped its banks. More than 3,000 homes were flooded around the reservoirs.</p>
<p>They may remain flooded for some time. The Army Corps of Engineers said it would continue to release water from the reservoirs for weeks, to make room in case another rain comes.</p>
<p>"We're still in tropical storm season," said Edmond Russo, an official with the Corps of Engineers.</p>
<p>Across Texas, the storm has shut down 14 oil refineries, causing damage at some that released harmful chemicals.</p>
<p>Around the city, schools and universities were closed, with some unable to say when they would reopen.</p>
