Over in the United States.

Texas is hit hard by Harvey... a category 4 hurricane with winds well in excess of 200

kilometers per hour.

While it's downgraded to a tropical storm, rain is still coming down in record amounts.

Lee Ji-won give us the updates.

Hurricane Harvey, which has so far killed two people, has lost a lot of its wind speed

and was downgraded to a tropical storm late on Saturday.

But the heavy rain brought with it has resulted in what the National Weather Service is describing

as "unprecedented flooding."

With parts of Houston seeing over 60 centimeters of rain in 24 hours on Sunday morning, the

service tweeted on Sunday that the full impact is unknown and the flood is beyond anything

experienced.

But forecasting that isolated storms could drop a record-breaking 130 centimeters of

rain on parts of Texas over the next few days, it added that "rainfall of this magnitude

will cause catastrophic and life-threatening flooding."

Amid continuous downpour, rescue operations continued day and night.

Houston 911 got over 56-thousand calls, 7 times more phone calls than an average day.

3-thousand national and state guard service members, 500 vehicles and 14 aircraft have

also been deployed to the area.

The Red Cross is serving about 130-thousand meals a day, and large shelters have been

opened to accommodate the thousands of people displaced from their homes.

The White House announced that President Trump will be visiting Texas on Tuesday,... and

the president showed his concerns over the disaster, tweeting that he would travel to

Texas "as soon as that trip can be made without causing disruption".

But with the slow-moving storm expected to continue pouring 40 to 60 centimeters of rain

over the Texas coast through Thursday,... the natural disaster is likely to take a greater

toll on the region.

What I Wish I Had Brought To College (Texas A&M) - Duration: 8:39.

hey everybody I'm back today I'm going to be talking about what i wish i had brought

to college so move in day was august 20th and today is august 26th so i've been here

for almost a full week now and i can indicate a few things which i wish i had packed for

the best possible experience what we are in the middle of right now is hurricane harvey

as some of you may know but it is very hard to get to the store and based on my meal plan

i did the math i can't start my meals during howdy week which is the first week of school

if i want food through the semester we don't have classes during howdy week so i wish i

had brought a frying pan from home because i had to go buy one earlier in the week so

that i could cook some stuff but if i had brought one from home i would have saved a

lot of time money and hassle related to this i wish i had brought a mixing bowl not only

is a plastic mixing bowl good for cooking it is also good for storing things things

that flake off or leave a mess everywhere you just put them into the big plastic bowl

and its perfectly fine perfectly fine every time I've been trying to get hot thing out

of the oven with the good old 12th man towels but they are thin so i burn my hand as well

as probably commit some sacrilegious crime against aggieland so thats no good alright

one last thing to do with cooking i promise is a coffee mug i wish i had brought one because

say i want to eat some ramen in my room i can easily boil water in the mug and add it

to the noodles or i can just put some eggs into the cup mix them up put a little oil

in there and boom scrambled eggs really easy and quick and you don't have to leave your

room to male scrambled eggs if you have a coffee mug i highly recommend watching the

video up here somewhere it'll give you the link to how to do that another one i wish

i had brought more pictures of home or memories i have two pictures i took of philmont really

great experience but beside that my room is kind of bare on the walls i have one picture

back there of kyle field but it's pretty small and everything else is just kind of walls

and stuff this of course is the best shot of my dorm because youtube i have to make

everything look nice but behind the camera where you guys can't see is very plain so

i wish i had brought some more memories of home especially people i only have some nature

shots i have two very small nature shots and i feel its eeeehhh but anyway oh another one

is really important so i have a debit card i made the decision to go with a debit card

instead of a credit card which is kind of complicated i may make a video about that

later but i also brought about $20 of one dollar bills i thought that would be enough

and it's not whenever you ask for a favor or when someone drives you somewhere if you're

really nice you'll pay them back you have to pay with cash which is extremely useful

way more than i had initially thought because without it the only way to pay back debts

is to buy them something from the store in the future and that ends up leaving a bad

taste in my mouth and being akward so i would defiantly recommend bringing lots of cash

or a checkbook i also wish i had some string because there are so many uses for it and

it's like a dollar this one is kind of embarrassing but i brought a ton of body wash and only

one bottle of shampoo so if i want to be really cheap i could use a drop every day but ill

just have to go to the store and buy some more but i wish i had just brought some from

home because i don't have a car and i don't regret not bringing a car to college i think

between the cost of the permit and the cost of gas and the difficulty to park stuff like

that i don't really need a car i can bike to the store yes it sucks but i think it's

worth it just from a money standpoint but that may change as the year goes on who knows

another thing is a baseball hat to be clear i did bring one but it is too small for my

head and being pale and pale people tend to burn every now and then i wish i had brought

a baseball cap which covered my face for the football games and general outdoor activities

because i didn't bring sunscreen either click alright moving on from that kind of stuff

i wish i had brought coupons from home and i wish i had researched what kinds of businesses

and returns were in college station whatever city you will be living in I recommend looking

to see what they have because at home i have mcdonalds coupons and i didn't think to bring

them because i'm dumb but they would have been really helpful like kroger deals at kroger

this one is kind of specific but the college station water is very soft if you know what

that means and if you don't it basically tastes a little like sulphur and personally it dose

not bother me that much i have a lot of experience drinking some really nasty water from boy

scouts but one thing i used to do in the past was put ice into water and drink it before

sleep as part of my ritual to go to bed but here in college station at least if you're

using the standard college rental thing where it's microwave refrigerator freezer thing

in the middle if you use that and pour water into an ice tray the ice tastes like acidic

maybe vinegary cheese and it's really really gross and i have a high tolerance for eating

disgusting things but this is absolutely disgusting and completely vile so i would recommend bringing

a water purifier if you are going to be making ice or if you are somebody ho is particular

about how your water should taste and a lot of people told me to get a water purifier

but i ignored them because they are expensive but if that's a thing for you i would buy

a water purifier so that's all I have for you guys today if you didn't see the previous

video its here somewhere so you can get a more comprehensive list of everything you

should bring to college after this video i'll be making an update and a what i shouldn't

have brought to college video but I'm not ready for that yet because i haven't had the

full college experience but ill do that after classes start on monday in the meantime yeah

thanks guys like subscribe and share if you want and as always i will see you in the next

one bye

Houston Texas Weather UPDATE! Houston Flood 2017 Rescue Operations, Tornado Footage! - Duration: 1:43.

Sunday morning, as Houston residents found themselves trapped on rooftops and wading through flooded streets with children riding on their shoulders, Mayor Sylvester Turner defended his decision not to order evacuations before the city was hit by torrential rain from Hurricane Harvey.

Houston, which is known for its susceptibility for flooding because of its flatness, was never put under an evacuation order, voluntary or mandatory, even as then-Hurricane Harvey was threatening southeast Texas.

"You literally cannot put 6.5 million people on the road," Turner said in a press conference. "If you think the situation right now is bad, you give an order to evacuate, you are creating a nightmare."

But many in Houston were already living in a nightmare. They woke up to find they were trapped inside their flooded homes and unable to receive aid from first responders, who were inundated with more than 2,000 calls for help, according to Turner.

Turner said such a massive evacuation would need to be well-coordinated, "all the way from Houston to the destination," and insisted that the best place for people to be was sheltered in their homes.

"You issue an evacuation order and put everyone on the highway," Turner said, "you are really asking for a major calamity."

More than 1,000 people had to be rescued overnight while the storm dumped anywhere from 15 to 30 inches of rain across southeast Texas. The heavy rain, coupled with the overflowing of Houston's bayous, meant water levels in some areas could reach 50 inches, according to the National Weather Service.

Now the city is wrestling with a massive effort to find shelter for displaced residents, sending them to centralized locations around the city that Turner calls "lily pads."

The volume of this weekend's Harvey rainfall was largely predicted. CNN meteorologists on Friday forecast more than 20 inches of rain, and the National Weather Service first put Houston under a Flash Flood Watch -- meaning flooding was a possibility and residents should be prepared -- on Thursday afternoon at 4:38 p.m.

"At this time I can reemphasize there will be no mass evacuations called," said Harris County Judge Edward Emmett, who is responsible for overseeing emergency operations, at a joint press conference with Turner on Friday. He noted that several coastal towns within Harris County, where Houston lies, had issued voluntary evacuations because of the storm surge.

On Sunday, CNN meteorologist Chad Myers agreed with officials' decision to not issue an evacuation order.

In a press conference Sunday afternoon, a reporter asked Gov. Abbott whether there had been a breakdown in communications when he said people should evacuate, but local officials contradicted him. "We've moved beyond whether or not there should have been an evacuation or not," Abbott said. "We're at a stage where we just need to respond to the emergencies" the people of Houston are facing.
