    Disastrous flooding triggered by Hurricane Harvey in the US state of Texas is expected to deteriorate in coming days. Heavy downpours of almost 30 inches have turned Houston&#x27;s roads into rivers. According to the estimations of the National Weather Service, the total rainfall could double by the end of the week. US President â Donald Trump â is expected to pay a visit to Texas later in the day to assess the damage inflicted by the calamity. Earlier, the Mr Trump declared a federal emergency in the US state of Louisiana. Meanwhile, as many as three thousand people have been rescued in Houston and neighboring areas. At least nine people are believed to have died in the storm-related incidents. Rescue crews have been overwhelmed by thousands of rescue calls, having had little time to search for other potential victims. Harvey battered Texas on Friday as a major category four hurricane, but was later downgraded to a tropical storm. It is likely be the strongest storm to hit the US since October 2005, when Hurricane Wilma struck the coast of Florida. Radio Sputnik discussed the issue with Dr. Jim Blackburn, Professor in the Practice of Environmental Law in the Civil and Environmental Engineering Department at Rice University.

US President â Donald Trump â is expected to pay a visit to Texas later in the day to assess the damage inflicted by the calamity. Earlier, the Mr Trump declared a federal emergency in the US state of Louisiana. Meanwhile, as many as three thousand people have been rescued in Houston and neighboring areas. At least nine people are believed to have died in the storm-related incidents. Rescue crews have been overwhelmed by thousands of rescue calls, having had little time to search for other potential victims. Harvey battered Texas on Friday as a major category four hurricane, but was later downgraded to a tropical storm. It is likely be the strongest storm to hit the US since October 2005, when Hurricane Wilma struck the coast of Florida. Radio Sputnik discussed the issue with Dr. Jim Blackburn, Professor in the Practice of Environmental Law in the Civil and Environmental Engineering Department at Rice University.

US President â Donald Trump â is expected to pay a visit to Texas later in the day to assess the damage inflicted by the calamity. Earlier, the Mr Trump declared a federal emergency in the US state of Louisiana. Meanwhile, as many as three thousand people have been rescued in Houston and neighboring areas.
