Harvey has stalled inland over Texas, resulting in catastrophic, record flooding.

 

Periods of torrential rain will continue over parts of Texas the next several days with more flooding likely.

 

Some locations southeast of Houston have seen more than two feet of rain in 24 hours.

 

The flooding has rivaled what was observed during Tropical Storm Allison in 2001 in some locations.

 

Tropical Storm Harvey has stalled over Texas where extreme rainfall has occurred in the Houston metro area, leading to record-breaking, catastrophic flooding. Days of drenching downpours are ahead along with the potential for tornadoes and lingering coastal flooding.

 

Localized rain amounts of 40-50 inches are not out of the question once Harvey's rain is finished later this week. This may end up being one of the worst flood disasters in U.S. history.

 

In the 24 hours through Sunday 6 a.m. CDT, parts of the southeast Houston metro area had received more than 20 inches of rain. One location in far southeast Harris County near Webster logged 24.28 inches of rain in 24 hours and 26.76 inches in 48 hours.
