Lauren simonetti. Cheryl a devastating weekend in texas. Houston is dealing with record flooding is catastrophic rain is Life Property in the nations fourthlargest city wrecking the epicenter of it all come assessing damage from the Tropical Storm in a decade. Just a warning. Incredible, incredible pictures in houston at the National Weather center said, this is something weve never experienced before over such a wide location. Maybe you can see the rain still falls in houston. Your headline this morning. The floodwaters continue to rise because they are now beginning to release this morning and water from reservoirs were compromising dans. Releasing that is causing even more flooding even though we didnt get a whole lot of rain overnight and they may not get as much today. Rescues by the literal thousands. People, volunteers coming on as well as government officials and First Responders all headed to houston making freelance rescues of people sunroofs, addicts from the second floors of their houses. Incredible. People still going. Im here in what is called Buffalo Bayou, essentially a place where the water drains. People checking cars like this one. This person is loaded up and ready to get out. First responders open the doors of cars, making sure nobody aside. Some people questioning whether or not they should have been evacuated. We talked to some of them. They should have told the city to evacuate and aired on the side of caution because i would never want anyone to go through this with children, family, dogs. A lot of elderly people live in the neighborhood and it became very dangerous very fast. Impact to you even if you are far away from houston for gas prices. Look at the closures of refineries has been explained to you on friday in terms of the Production Capacity, a huge amount of Production Capacity in the gold, but not located off for the hurricane hit. That was the good news. The bad news is refinery capacity out there and that is shut down and as you can see, shut down for a good long while. Lauren jeff, it is lauren. I can see you are waist deep in water. Can you tell us how far away you are from the truck . Were using in my view unit which will move around all day today. We will be moving across the city. Its difficult to move because everywhere you go come you run into a scene like this and you cant get through. It will be a wild ride throughout the course of the day. They just cant get around. Lauren thank you so much for your reporting. Stay safe. Cheryl we will see him throughout the day today. Contributor to the hill and texas resident kristen tate, frequent guest of the show. Good morning. Good morning, guys. Cheryl how to think over the weekend where are you now . I decided to leave houston on friday and drive to boston. Im from New Hampshire originally, so im used of blizzards in snowstorms, but this is my first hurricane like this. I almost decided not to leave houston, but i am so glad i did. My family and i left the city on friday. It was raining so hard in what is happening since this widespread devastation. Most of my friends decided to stay put in houston and write it out. Cheryl i have a lot of friends in houston. Lets talk about Texas Governor greg abbott. A big split between the two gentlemen about the evacuation orders. You were ordered to evacuate. You are smart enough to do so. Many people stayed in place another laser threatened. What do you make and how do you feel the direction was from the mayor refused and versus the governor . I think the mayor come as Sylvester Turner the city. He didnt even call for a voluntary evacuation and it seems like no real provisions were made before the flooding. I want to know why not. We knew this was coming. This was in the reports. We certainly didnt know the hurricane would be this bad, but a city should always be prepared for the worst. I think what made it most difficult for the residences we are getting mixed messages. Greg abbott, the governor was suggesting evacuations, but the mayor told people to stay put. He treated this on friday. Please think twice before leaving houston. [inaudible] several days before that on monday or tuesday, suggesting arrangements. I think its incredibly irresponsible and i think we can blame him for some of the suffering we are seeing. A lot of this could have been avoided. Cheryl chris and i thank you so for calling in. Kristen tate who is safe. Many people in houston not safe this morning. Cheryl the nations secondlargest refinery has now closed in the wake of hurricane charley. Tracee carrasco joins us with more details. Good morning. Exxon closed located on the houston channel the floodwaters paralyzed in that area. The plan is the secondlargest refinery in the country. Processing as much as 560,000 barrels of oil a day and feeding fields in to feeding fields into pipeline feeding fields into pipeline and barges that move across the southeastern u. S. Senate east coast. The projected path of sunday night included an even bigger refinery in port arthur texas owned by Saudi Arabian oil co. And produces 600,000 barrels of fuel a day. It isnt clear how long they could stay close. Harvey knocked down almost 15 of u. S. Refinery capacity out of commission, which threatens to boost fuel prices across the country. Cheryl a lot of shipments coming out of the port of houston got the east coast. Thats what we see the effects. What about travel . We are looking at 5000 flights affected. Flights have been granted about that houstons busy airports, bush continental distracting Airline Schedules all weekend. Nation wide had granted about 1800 sites. Many preemptively on saturday. More than 1400 cancellations extended into today and another 450 nt tomorrow. U. S. Airlines are waiving change fees for travelers to get ticketed flights to the region in areas such as Corpus Christi. Nearly all flights were already crowded since friday. Transfer airlines are letting you change your flight way outside of time which is changing. These things are heavy and continuing. Talking 50 inches of rain in some places. Do we know yet i know its early how this flooding damage will stack up compared to Hurricane Katrina . Listing all the pictures i took used in far but the Insurance Information estimates flood damage mate equal that of 2005 Hurricane Katrina which so far as the costliest Natural Disaster in u. S. History. Katrina resulted in 15 billion Flood Insurance losses in louisiana and mississippi that were paid and as the rain from harvey continues. Transfer a lot to cover. Cheryl thank you so much obviously. I know a lot of people across the country want to help. What can we do . Theres a lot that we can do. If you are in the area you could volunteer at the red cross or the Salvation Army. Another thing you could do is donate. Donate money to the Salvation Army and the red cross. Other organizations in the area. Make sure it is a trusted source. Blood banks in the area also looking for donations before the storm hit. They said they are already in need of blood. Also things that people might not think about like diapers. Salvation army and red cross dont have papers. That is something people need. Cheryl great tips, trade and five. Great tips. We are also watching from a business perspective what is happening with gas prices. Hardly a shock to 22 of gulf oil production. Senior market analyst and Fox News Contributor joining us now. You cant just when the water is gone from the u. K. Just coming in now, put these plans back online instantly. What timetable are looking at here . This is the most challenging situation ive ever seen in the u. S. Energy industry because not only do you have to deal with potential damage from the hurricane coming now of course the flooding you mentioned could be weeks or months before we bring some of these refineries back online. I will tell you this. The u. S. Energy industry is amazing. In fact, already one refinery that was shut down a fair Corpus Christi area in rockford that they are going to try and bring back online. Theyll do everything they can to bring it back online. As you mentioned, it continues to rain. If we get flooding it takes a very long time. Restarting a refinery is one of the most dangerous parts of the entire process of burning oil. They have to be cautious when be cautious when they bring these things back online. If you have a lot of flooding you have to dry it out. Cheryl will talk about the gas price situation obviously. We have to pay a few more cents for gas, were all okay with that considering what is happening, but there is a longerterm effect on the overall gas price situation correct, sir overnight. The highest price in 2. 5 years. Not only gasoline prices. This could slow down food prices and everything else. Cheryl phil flynn, thank you for the update.

Fox news has learned the Trump Administration tried to issue an executive order listed a controversial ban on the transfer of military equipment to the police department.

Where we are now, if i walk just about the sail bhs sweep blunders. The Buffalo Bayou is releasing water to keep from the dams that protect downtown houston from flooding. People may not have access to tv or internet are not even aware they may become sacrificial lambs had been urged by officials to remain alert and take precautionary measures. I dont know what measures they would take. The mayor, Sylvester Turner was asked yesterday in the lead up if he defends his decision to not mandatory evacuate some of houston. Heres what he had to say. No one knew which direction i was going to go. Its difficult to send people away from things. The decision we made was the smart one. It was in the best interest of houstonians. It was the right decision in terms of their safety. Reporter so just recap this is some light begins to come, you will have a situation of chaos erupting because we are expecting more rain, as much as 15 to 20 more inches of rain that could already further flood already flooded neighborhoods but the artificial release of the addicts can bark or dams, which all you need to know is they are releasing water as these reservoirs keep the dams from breaking. This water is going to rise by feed, not inches and people in these houses will have to make a decision of what to do packets coming in some form. Im not sure that is enough. Theres a fire house behind me at this water. You can drive cars. Where are they going to go . If i go down not walk, and getting up to here, guys. Lauren if you are going to the attic in houston that dont go unless you have an attic with you to get through to the roof. Thats how bad the situation is.

Houston dealing with record flooding. Devastating from rain threatening the nations fourthlargest city. We are in at the center of it all. The most powerful storm to hit in a decade. Good morning. Reporter and it is still hitting. This rain just will not die. We had a break of maybe an hour overnight. It is just pounding down again. This is what its been doing ever since the storm hit on friday night. Incredible. We just made our way to a residential neighborhood. These are some of the homes put in jeopardy by the reservoir release we talked about because the teams are in jeopardy now and even though we thought the rising waters had abated for bed, and now water rising very quickly. Some people had their car loaded up ready to go in they were unable to get out. Look at the storm track in the radar, and ive never seen anything like it. Ive covered every major hurricane since 1988, since the mid80s actually. Ive never seen ive seen storm stalled before. Ive never seen one for this long dumping as much water is truly unprecedented. Rescues going on today if they went on over the weekend. You said it. Its going to get worse before it gets better. Sometimes that is a cliche. It is not here in houston. This is bad. Next hour we will get if we can do the Buffalo Bayou, a crossing point with water rushing past. Youve got to stay out with your cars. If you get washed away so quickly. Weve been so lucky with the loss of life so far. I hope that whole time. We will not know until a long way away. A lot of rescues weve been seeing on our Television Screens and then by boat. People are told to get out in kayaks and small boats. Every going to see more of that today or residents choosing to stay in their homes and not leave at this point . They will start to think about if they been hunkering down baby. I hate to compare to the merrill boatlift, where people are just volunteering because theres not enough First Responders to get all these people. The fourthlargest city in the u. S. , just not enough rescuers to come out unless you get texans helping texans, people just coming. We met a guy with a boat who said im coming out to see what i can do. Its incredible. Trade to this is in a sense Community Kicks in. They have a sense of community. They will help each other out. Jeff, thank you so much. Just as you mentioned is doing live reports throughout the day on fox business and also we should note here that President Trump is going to be heading to texas tomorrow to get a firsthand look at the catastrophic flooding in what is behind by the hurricane. Lauren joining us now on the phone is general russell, the former Hurricane Katrina joint task force commander. Good to see you, general. Good morning. Lauren how much worse things going to get . It could be worse tomorrow than it is today because of the timing of the raid. It will take four or five days after the rain stops for the bayous to clear south of houston and its still raining. The area has expanded into the cameras, going in for the elevation is three feet past. Right where we have the brave new refinery, a 14based planned. Going into lake charles, we have 14 plants, all of them built after katrina and rita. This is going to be a real test. My biggest concern is people surviving. I think the rescue will steal up in texas in the next few days to get people out of their homes. 40 of the Small Businesses fail after a flooding event like this. This is going to have a catastrophic impact on this area. Lauren are you satisfied with the National Guard members coming in to help, teams from other states . Is there enough response on the ground right now . I love the National Guard. Both of my sons are in the National Guard. But i think weve got to go quicker. Texas is the home of over 10,000 National Guardsmen as involving only mobilized about 3000 of them. Lauren how do we need . Lets put it this way. Katrina we had 40,000. Lauren and also 20,000 federal troops. In the 82nd Airborne Division in 240 some odd helicopters. This guy to scale up quickly to use a business term. Right now they are trying to do it in the middle of the rain thats coming in which prohibit the helicopters from getting in. That this is a complicated issue. Dual distribution and they need support person bid contracts to come in because all of those small gas stations is going to be a real mess on our hands. Lauren phil flynn told is the process of getting these refineries and plants back online is very dangerous as well. That is something when we get to that point we will have to watch as well. Thank you so much for your time. Go ahead. Ive got one more point. We have to look at continuing to build our big plant in wetland. At three feet elevation, the mass dont work. These guys know how to build plants, but theyve got to get it right when it comes to elevation. Lauren all right, thank you so much. Good day. Trade you joining us now is Texas Railroad commission christy craddick. Good morning. Good morning. Thank you for having me. Trade to you and of course the regulatory body for energy in texas. What are you hearing from the companies you work with . First and foremost we are still focused on the people and getting people to safety. That is our priority one and we appreciate the agencies working together to make sure that continues to happen. The next piece of it as we go forward is looking at the economics of the situation. Obviously, weve got some real challenges. Last week we sent out for the Railroad Commission a notice to operators. Hurricane harvey came in right on top of one of the biggest oilfields in the state of texas which is south of san antonio. We wanted to make sure not just that failed, but all the fields across the state were protect it. We know about 900,000 barrels a day were coming out of the eagle heard we think right now thats offline, most of the production offline. Secondly, making sure pipelines, infrastructure is safe. 450,000 miles of interstate gathering lines plus gas utilities, hundreds of thousands of miles to make sure that still stays online. The third thing ive heard you talk about a couple times this morning already have to do with refineries. Obviously that is a real challenge for us. 6 Million Barrels of oil are refined in texas today. Thats about 30 of the countrys oil refinery capacity. 10 refineries as of last night. That is about half of our refining production by day capability. At least 3 Million Barrels offline and potentially growing. Lauren it is not just we just had a guest talking about gas stations shutting down, contaminated stations, contaminated fuel lines to get these refineries back online. You got the larger impact to the u. S. That the second part of this story. How fast can these refineries get up and running to not just get production up and running and energy to texans, but also the rest of the country. That is important. The four refineries in the corpus area finally had people allowed to go with yesterday. They are making those assessments. When corpus can get up and running hopefully relatively quickly in the corpus area come and i will beat hundred 40,000 barrels a day we can play back online. We dont know in houston quite yet. Obviously we are waiting until the flooding subsides and we can get some personnel issue to you. Make sure people are say first and foremost. Those companies will make sure that the refineries are safe in our back online as quickly as possible. That is their longterm challenge. Cheryl christie, thank you for joining us. Im back on the show and let us know how things are going for the people of texas. Lauren coming up, Insurance Companies prepare to deal prepare to do with the catastrophic losses of Tropical Storm harvey. Flood damage can equal that of Hurricane Katrina.

They retail has a perfume mania for chapter 11 protection. The retailer says it will build around its better performing stores at the Company Plans to close 54 of its 226 stores and all. In the hours before then Hurricane Harvey came ashore in texas, for babies born in Corpus Christi and one of them was named harvey. Harvey checked in at seven pounds and 18 inches. His mom had his name for him so i never suggested harvey and she thought it was a good idea. Cheryl im glad they are safe. Something that may not be healthy todays Insurance Companies then theres doctors the markets open. Thousands of claims from harvey. Gary kaltbaum, president of Fox News Contributor. Obviously, we are still of course praying for the live text and promoted the industry overall thinking about how they can handle insurance claims in particular from all of these businesses and residents in houston that have been destroyed. Is the industry prepared . Welcome and theres never any good news in a situation like this, but if there is any, Insurance Companies have many years we havent had real Natural Disasters so capital base is the highest its ever been. For Something Like this, even though its devastating and large, they pretty much cover it. Knowing the hurricanes were early in the season and lets keep fingers crossed we not see another one like this. More than one is trouble for the Insurance Industry will show what. Cheryl you are telling me last week in the hallway about how florida of course goes through this every year. What about the federal government . The national Flood Insurance program facing huge claims. Is that agents even in the red right now with a black right now . Are they going to handle this . Unfortunately, everything in government, but i will promise you the government will funnel money from one place to another. This will be a priority and we have no doubt that unfortunately there were people that dont have Flood Insurance, but hopefully it will be taken care of. This is one thing they have got right, but as usual government run programs they have no profit motive and again, hopefully keep fingers crossed that they cover everything. Trade to get to the point the fact youve been through so many hurricanes in florida. Would he say to people who might have the television on in texas. What should they be thinking about and doing . Look, i wish they were a little bit more this occurs, especially in the houston area. For right now, these people have to realize they are in for the long haul on Something Like this. I promise you Insurance Companies are all over the end as soon as they get in, they will be sending hundred of people in there. Your best friends are going to be the Insurance Companies believe it or not in the Insurance Adjusters and do the best you can and hopefully things get better sooner rather than later.
