More than 9,000 people have sought shelter in the George R. Brown Convention Center in Houston.<\/b>
\n\u2022 Heavy rain from now Tropical Storm Harvey continues to pound southeastern Texas, parts of which have seen around three feet of rain. The National Weather Service expects another four to six inches to fall through Tuesday, from Houston to southwest Louisiana. Between 7 and 13 inches of more rainfall will drench the region by the week\u2019s end.
\u2022 Harvey\u2019s death toll has risen to ten. At least a dozen have been injured as a result of the storm, which crashed into Texas as a Category 4 hurricane on Friday night before weakening.
\u2022 Many places in and around Houston have been deluged by close to or more than three feet of rain. Aerial photos of the city captured some of the devastation.
\u2022 A staggering 50 inches could fall by Friday. Houston has exceeded its average annual rainfall, and August 2017 is officially the wettest month on record.
\u2022 Rescue and evacuations are still underway across Texas, and have extended to parts of Louisiana, as rivers in the region are overflowing. More than 9,000 people sought shelter in the George R. Brown Convention Center in Houston, almost double its capacity. Officials predict more than 30,000 people will seek shelter.
\u2022 President Donald Trump has decamped to Texas, where he will visit Corpus Christi, close to where Harvey made landfall. He will also visit Austin, the state capital, but avoid the emergency zone in Houston. He has said he may return to the region and visit Louisiana and Texas this weekend.<\/p>\n
