															<p>The Rockport-Fulton Fighting Pirates won't take the field Friday for their season opener, but some of their players took to the field Tuesday to help clean it up.</p>
																							<p>Winds from Harvey last week sheared the uprights from both goal posts, stripped most of the metal from the stadium scoreboards, scattered sheet metal through the stands and destroyed the gymnasium where the girls' volleyball team plays.</p>
																							<p>By word of mouth, some football and volleyball players met Monday afternoon to begin the cleanup. Even more players showed up Tuesday.</p>
																							<p>Athletic director Jay Seibert said that after three weeks of practice and a scrimmage, his players are now scattered all over the state after evacuating the coastal town near Corpus Christi and that the Pirates will not be able to play this week.</p>
																							<p>Right guard Angelo Trevino said that returning to the field will help the community recovery effort.</p>
																							<p>Harvey made landfall near Rockport last Friday as a Category 4 hurricane.</p>

																							<p>Officials say they have received disturbing reports of people impersonating Homeland Security special agents and telling residents to evacuate in order to rob their homes.</p>
																							<p>The city of Houston says people should ask anyone knocking on their doors for official badges and credentials with their name and organization. The city's statement also notes that during Harvey relief efforts, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement is not conducting immigration enforcement operations in the area.</p>
																							<p>The city also says in a tweet in both English and Spanish that it is not checking the immigration status of anyone coming into shelters.</p>
																							<p>___</p>
																							<p>10 p.m.</p>
																							<p>The death toll from Harvey has risen to at least 18 as three more fatalities have been confirmed in the Houston area.</p>
																							<p>The Harris County Institute of Forensic Sciences updated its storm-related deaths Tuesday night to include an 89-year-old woman, Agnes Stanley, who was found floating in 4 feet (1.2 meters) of floodwater in a home. A 76-year-old woman was found floating in floodwater near a vehicle. Her name was not released. A 45-year-old man, Travis Lynn Callihan, left his vehicle and fell into floodwaters. He was taken to a hospital, where he died Monday.</p>

																							<p>Singapore's defense ministry says as many as four of its military helicopters will start assisting in Tropical Storm Harvey relief efforts Wednesday.</p>
																							<p>The CH-47 Chinook helicopters are stationed in Grand Prairie, Texas, as part of a decades-long partnership between the Republic of Singapore Air Force and Texas National Guard. Singaporean airmen who train there learn how to face large-scale emergencies.</p>
																							<p>The ministry says the helicopters will be able to airlift troops, evacuees and supplies in the relief effort.</p>
																							<p>Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong made the offer in a call with President Donald Trump late Tuesday. Both leaders are set to meet at the White House in October.</p>

																			<p>The new shelter will provide the city with additional capacity because the number of evacuees at the George R. Brown Convention Center is approaching 10,000, double its original capacity.</p>
																							<p>___</p>
																							<p>8:40 p.m.</p>
																							<p>Just 500 cots are being added to the floor of the Toyota Center, as the nearby downtown convention center will remain the primary major shelter for evacuees of Tropical Storm Harvey.</p>
																							<p>Tom McCasland, Houston's housing and community development director, told The Associated Press Tuesday that the Toyota Center- where the NBA's Houston Rockets play - will serve as an overflow center for people still arriving Tuesday night and early Wednesday. It will only serve families with children that don't have pressing medical needs.</p>
																							<p>The George R. Brown Convention Center has an estimated 9,000 people seeking shelter. McCasland says more cots are on the way for thousands of people who didn't have one Monday night. Some people slept on towels or strips of cardboard.</p>
																							<p>He says, "We fully expect to have everyone in a cot tonight."</p>
																							<p>___</p>
																							<p>8:30 p.m.</p>
																							<p>Federal and local agencies say they have rescued more than 13,000 people in the Houston area as well as in surrounding cities and counties in Southeast Texas since Tropical Storm Harvey inundated the area with torrential rain.</p>
																							<p>Houston Police Chief Art Acevedo said Tuesday his agency has rescued about 4,100 people.</p>
																							<p>Houston Fire Chief Samuel Peña says his agency has rescued more than 3,000.</p>
																							<p>Parisa Safarzadeh, a spokeswoman for the Harris County Sheriff's Office says her agency has rescued more than 3,000 people. Houston is located in Harris County.</p>
																							<p>U.S. Coast Guard Lt. Mike Hart says his agency has rescued more than 3,000 individuals. Hart says the Coast Guard total includes rescues in Houston, but also in outlying cities and subdivisions outside of Houston, as well as in surrounding counties, including Brazoria, Galveston and Matagorda.</p>

																							<p>Beaumont police say a woman has died after she and her young daughter were swept into a rain-swollen drainage canal while trying to escape their stalled vehicle.</p>
																							<p>A police statement said the woman pulled her vehicle into a theater parking lot about 3:35 p.m. Tuesday, where it became stalled by high water. The woman then took her daughter, exited the car and was swept about a half-mile away.</p>
																							<p>Two Beaumont police officers and two fire-rescue divers in a rubber boat spotted the mother floating with the child, who was holding onto her mother. Officers pulled the child and the mother into the boat. The child was responsive but suffering from hypothermia; the mother was unresponsive and efforts to revive her failed. The child is hospitalized in stable condition.</p>
																							<p>Authorities and family members have so far reported more than a dozen deaths from Harvey.</p>

																							<p>Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner has amended his curfew order to run from midnight to 5 a.m., instead of beginning at 10 p.m.</p>
																							<p>Turner announced the change on Twitter Tuesday evening, about an hour after initially imposing the curfew.</p>
																							<p>Police Chief Art Acevedo said at an earlier news conference that curfew violators will be stopped, questioned, searched and arrested.</p>
																							<p>There have been scattered reports of looting during the flooding from Tropical Storm Harvey.</p>
																							<p>___</p>
																							<p>7:35 p.m.</p>
																							<p>Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner says that the Toyota Center - home of the NBA's Rockets - has been opened as a shelter for people displaced by flooding from Tropical Storm Harvey.</p>
																							<p>Turner announced during a news conference Tuesday evening that the downtown basketball arena will be used to help reduce overflow at the nearby George R. Brown Convention Center, which is now sheltering 10,000 people. Officials had initially planned to have 5,000 individuals at the convention center.</p>
																							<p>Turner says people will still have to go to the convention center first before going into the Toyota Center.</p>
																							<p>Turner thanked Rockets owner Les Alexander for letting the city use the basketball arena as a shelter and also thanked him for his donation of $10 million for Harvey relief efforts.</p>
																							<p>Turner says because Houston police have been spread thin due to ongoing water rescues and other efforts, 50 Texas National Guard members will be stationed at the convention center to provide security.</p>

																							<p>7:20 p.m.</p>
																							<p>Officials say they have evacuated homes northeast of Houston after a chemical company said there is a risk of an explosion at its flooded plant.</p>
																							<p>The Harris County Fire Marshal's office said in a tweet Tuesday that homes within 1.5 miles (2.4 kilometers) of the Arkema plant in Crosby have been evacuated out of precaution.</p>
																							<p>Arkema says in a news release that it manufactures organic peroxides in Crosby, about 25 miles (40 kilometers) northeast of Houston. The company says the chemical compounds must be stored at low temperatures, but it lost refrigerated storage after power went out and backup generators were inundated.</p>
																							<p>Arkema said it shut down the Crosby site before Harvey made landfall last week, but a crew of 11 had been kept onsite. That group was removed Tuesday.</p>

																							<p>7 p.m.</p>
																							<p>Harris County has confirmed the storm-related death of 64-year-old Alexander Kwoksum Sung, who drowned at a clock repair business Sunday in Houston. He was found in more than a foot of debris on Monday.</p>
																							<p>Authorities and family members have so far reported more than 10 deaths from Harvey.</p>
																							<p>6:10 p.m.</p>
																							<p>Authorities say an 83-year-old woman has died after her vehicle was caught in floodwaters caused by Tropical Storm Harvey in Walker County, north of Houston.</p>
																							<p>Officials with the Texas Department of Public safety say a state trooper out checking the road conditions early Tuesday morning came across Ola Mae Crooks' vehicle. Sgt. Richard Standifer with the Texas Department of Public Safety tells The Associated Press that the trooper contacted the swift water rescue team, which recovered the body.</p>
																							<p>Sgt. Steven McNeil with the Texas Department of Public Safety tells the Huntsville Item newspaper that a preliminary investigation indicates Crooks drowned when her car was swept off a farm-to-market road at the San Jacinto River near her home. McNeil says it appears Crooks was trying to cross the bridge and the swift water carried her vehicle off the road and into the flood waters.</p>

																							<p>5:50 p.m.</p>
																							<p>Hundreds of people are waiting in line at the George R. Brown Convention Center to register with the Federal Emergency Management Agency for disaster assistance.</p>
																							<p>Many evacuees arrived with what was in their pockets and nothing else.</p>
																							<p>John Boyce lived in a west Houston apartment and had to be pulled out by boat. He was initially taken to a local hospital and was given paper scrubs to wear before being taken to the convention center, because his clothes were wet and soaked in sewage.</p>
																							<p>His two possessions are a cell phone and a wallet. He dried the cards inside the wallet on a piece of cardboard, and his cellphone worked after he held the battery under a bathroom hair dryer.</p>
																							<p>He took his first shower Tuesday in a mobile unit brought in by the Red Cross.</p>
																							<p>FEMA is expected to provide assistance to people left homeless in Harvey.</p>
																							<p>The 49-year-old Boyce hopes he can get enough money to travel to Alaska and join his daughter and grandchild. He says, "I have nothing to go back to here."</p>
																							<p>___</p>
																							<p>5:30 p.m.</p>
																							<p>For the drenched Houston region, an end to the rain and a sunny day are almost in sight. But that's only because meteorologists forecast Harvey to come inland Wednesday, then slog through Louisiana and take its downpours north. Arkansas, Tennessee, parts of Missouri and southern Illinois are on alert for Harvey flooding in a couple days.</p>
																							<p>Harvey is forecast to return inland around the Texas-Louisiana line and close to Beaumont, Texas, early Wednesday morning or late Tuesday night with 45 mph (72 kph) winds and heavy rains, spending much of Wednesday in Louisiana. Along the Gulf Coast, rain is expected to continue Wednesday but taper off.</p>
																							<p>Dennis Feltgen, National Hurricane Center spokesman says, "Texas is going to get a chance to finally dry out as this system pulls out."</p>
																							<p>But Feltgen cautioned that this doesn't mean Harvey is ending.</p>
																							<p>Flash flood watches are already posted for parts of Tennessee, southern Illinois and southeast Missouri.</p>
																							<p>Those areas and Arkansas could get six or seven inches of rain, but it won't be anything like what southeast Texas got.</p>
																							<p>The National Weather Service in Houston forecasts less of an inch for the city on Wednesday, and only a 30 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms for Thursday. And then for Friday it says, "mostly sunny."</p>

																							<p>In far North Dallas, hundreds of volunteers are handling a steady stream of cars, trucks and trailers loaded with water, diapers and other goods for hurricane relief.</p>
																							<p>The drop-off point announced by the city of Dallas is managed by the nonprofit Trusted World, which also has other drop off points in office buildings and other public locations.</p>
																							<p>The volunteers say they have seen thousands of vehicles loaded Tuesday with items to donate for hurricane relief. The volume of vehicles loaded with items to donate extended out onto and down the northbound frontage road of the Dallas North Tollway. One 34-foot trailer belonging to a cabinet maker was filled with bottled water and other items. The drop-off point was open from 3 p.m. to 8 p.m.</p>
																							<p>___</p>
																							<p>4:15 p.m.</p>
																							<p>Harvey has gained a bit of strength but stayed a tropical storm. Its winds increased from 45 mph (72 kph) to 50 mph (80 kph).</p>
																							<p>But the National Hurricane Center says that reading Tuesday afternoon may be unusual because it was from a low flying hurricane hunter airplane.</p>
																							<p>Forecasters say heavy rains are continuing to spread over southeastern Texas and southern Louisiana.</p>
																							<p>The rains in Cedar Bayou, near Mont Belvieu, Texas, reached 51.88 inches (132 centimeters) as of 3:30 p.m. CDT. That's a record for both Texas and the continental United States but it doesn't quite pass the 52 inches (133 centimeters) from tropical cyclone Hiki in Kauai, Hawaii, in 1950 (before Hawaii became a state).</p>
																							<p>___</p>
																							<p>3:20 p.m.</p>
																							<p>An official says that a levee protecting a subdivision of homes in a county south of Houston has been fortified after being breached but warns the threat is far from over.</p>
																							<p>Brazoria County spokeswoman Sharon Trower said Tuesday afternoon that the levee had been fortified. Earlier in the day the county had posted on Twitter: "NOTICE: The levee at Columbia Lakes has been breached!! GET OUT NOW!!"</p>
																							<p>She says that some water did get through but it wasn't substantial. She warns that authorities don't know how long the fortification will hold. She also notes the breach happened due to rainwater but that the nearby Brazos River continues to spill out of its banks.</p>
																							<p>Trower says that the mandatory evacuation ordered Sunday morning still stands and notes that most of the residents in the area have left.</p>

																							<p>Harvey came ashore late Friday about 30 miles (48 kilometers) northeast of Corpus Christi, Texas, as a Category 4 hurricane. The slow-moving storm has caused catastrophic flooding in Texas.</p>
																							<p>___</p>
																							<p>7:50 a.m.</p>
																							<p>Louisiana's governor is asking President Donald Trump for a federal emergency declaration for Louisiana since forecasters expect Harvey to cause significant damage in the state.</p>
																							<p>Gov. John Bel Edwards said he sent a letter to the White House requesting the initial disaster declaration for five parishes in southwest Louisiana, and could add more areas to the request later.</p>
																							<p>Edwards said life-saving efforts such as search and rescue and shelters will be needed, especially in southwest Louisiana where forecasters say 10 to 20 inches (25 to 51 centimeters) of rain could fall.</p>
																							<p>Harvey came ashore late Friday about 30 miles (48 kilometers) northeast of Corpus Christi, Texas, as a Category 4 storm. The slow-moving storm has caused catastrophic flooding in Texas.</p>
																							<p>___</p>
																							<p>7:15 a.m.</p>
																							<p>The director of the National Weather Service is warning that the catastrophic flooding that's overwhelming Houston and other parts of Texas will worsen in the coming days and then be slow to recede once Harvey finally moves on.</p>
																							<p>Director Louis Uccellini said during a news conference Monday that up to 20 inches (51 centimeters) of rain could fall in the coming days, on top of the more than 30 inches (76 centimeters) some places have already seen.</p>
																							<p>He says some of the heaviest rainfall today, at a pace of 6 inches (15 centimeters) an hour, will fall east of Houston in places such as Beaumont and Lake Charles, Louisiana.</p>
																							<p>He adds that while Houston is experiencing a break from the rain Monday morning, heavy rainfall is forecast to return later in the day into Tuesday.</p>
																							<p>___</p>
																							<p>7:05 a.m.</p>
																							<p>The Houston police chief is concerned about the prospect of more flooding, but is "keeping (his) fingers crossed" that the rain will subside.</p>
																							<p>In an interview Monday on MSNBC's "Morning Joe," Chief Art Acevedo says drainage is a concern.</p>
																							<p>He says he's "not sure where the water is going because it's just so much that we can't really absorb more in the ground at this point. ... We have way too much water and not enough places for it to drain."</p>
																							<p>He says officers have voiced frustration that they don't have enough high-water vehicles to quickly help everyone who is stranded.</p>
																							<p>He also warned any criminals who might try to take advantage of the disaster that his force has already arrested half a dozen people for looting.</p>
																							<p>___</p>
																							<p>7 a.m.</p>
																							<p>The Federal Emergency Management Agency is asking for volunteers to help Texas recover from Harvey.</p>
																							<p>William "Brock" Long, FEMA administrator, told a news conference in Washington Monday that "we need citizens to be involved," because the storm and resulting flooding is greater than the government can handle.</p>
																							<p>Long urges individuals and organizations to check the website www.nvoad.org or call 1-800-621-FEMA to find out how to help. He's asking for financial donations and for people "to figure out how to get involved as we help Texas find a new normal."</p>
																							<p>A National Weather Service official says the peak flooding from the Houston-area storm is expected to max out Wednesday and Thursday, but said the floods will be slow to recede and that catastrophic flooding will persist.</p>
