‘Harvey’ Moves Back to Gulf, 100K+ Ordered Evacuated in Advance of River Flooding

HOUSTON, Texas — As Tropical Storm Harvey marches back to the Gulf where it is expected to strengthen again, emergency planners in Houston’s neighboring Fort Bend County ordered the mandatory evacuation of about 110,000 people from areas that will be flooding by the Brazos River. The river is expected to hit a record 800-900 year flood mark at 56.1 feet — nearly two feet above the previous record set in the Memorial Day flood of 2016. The National Weather Service reports the deaths of five people in the wake of the former Category 4 hurricane.

7ummitt Magazine Tweeted that 2,000 people have been rescued from flooded homes in the Houston area. More flooding is expected as up to 20 inches of rain is predicted for Harris and surrounding counties. Rivers are expected to hit record levels of flooding and more than 100,000 people are being ordered evacuated from their homes.

UPDATE 9:15 a.m.: Politico wastes no time in criticizing President Donald Trump by claiming he is attempting to stay out of harm’s way by not going to Houston while first responders and Harris County emergency management officials work feverously to save lives. Up to 20 inches of rain is expected to fall in Houston in the next 24 hours. The president is traveling to Texas and will visit areas devastated by then-Category 4 Hurricane Harvey like Rockport where up to 90 percent of buildings and homes received damage.
