Sources from Houston have reported that Houston is being inundated with "unprecedented" devastating flooding after ferocious Hurricane Harvey set in over southeast Texas this weekend, dumping torrential rain on the city, with no end in sight. Moreover heavy rain bands are expected to continue to move in over Houston overnight, which will continue the catastrophic and life-threatening flash-flood emergency in the area.
Sources have stated that the flooding comes after the hurricane left at least three people dead after it bashed the Texas coast. Buildings and parts of communities are submerged and, in Houston, there were more than 1,000 calls for rescues and people were forced to their rooftops.
Furthermore one death was confirmed Sunday by Mayor Bobby Hocking of La
Marque, Texas, about 38 miles southeast from Houston on the Gulf Coast. Moreover
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott said at a news conference that as the heavy rains are
expected to persist, which will lead to even more flooding, people is urged to
stay off the roads. Meanwhile the residents are also asked to keep a lookout
for tornado warnings, which may pop up in the region in the coming days.
