We will climb with a lot of sunshine into the 70s and the humidity stays low today. At the shore, the winds will be picking up. The rip current risk that will be increasing today. Now to a special report from nbc news. Were waiting on that. Well take it when it comes. Good morning, everybody. As we come on the air, the wrath of harvey is being felt across southeast texas. Houston, the fourth largest city mostly under water at this hour. Mandatory Evacuations Ordered overnight. Several neighborhoods there with another several feet of rain possible. Lets get right to gabe gutierrez. Gabe, good morning to you. We can barely see you. Whats the situation. Savannah, good morning. We have been seeing rain constantly throughout the night. This event is not over. As you can see behind me, many roads are impassable. Houston the nations fourth largest city is paralyzed. Overnight the rivers have continued to rise. Runs through the heart of downtown houston. At record stages. Authorities are considering and actually overnight released water from two reservoirs. That will continue to increase the water levels here in hughes. Weve seen hundreds of water rescues overnight. Dramatic water rescues by air and boat. Desperate calls for help. Authorities here in houston are defending their decision not to issue a mandatory Evacuation Order maahead of the storm. Mayor said it would have been incredibly dangerous to send millions of people evacuating at the same time. Because of a previous experience they had back in 2005 with hurricane right knta where millf people got on the roadway at the same time. And more than half of the deaths were attributed to that evacuation. Other cities around houston are expecting record levels of rain. The water is continuing to rise. This is a desperate situation here in this major american city. I have to say i got a chill when i read that houston authorities were asking people if they had private water craft to basically every get in there and try to help if you can. Are they still asking for that or do you feel they have more of the resources they need now. First responders here in houston savannah are just overwhe overwhelmed. Theres no way they can get to help everyone in this massive metro area. The city of houston itself is 2. 5 Million People. More than 6 Million People live in the larger houston area. Houston itself is well theyve had many floods before. In fact last yearly houston had the most flood related deaths in the entire country. This is because of a population explosion in the last few decades. A lot of developments. A lot of the wetlands that had been around decades ago have now kurn turned into concrete covered suburbia. Many issues when it comes to drainage. The same time, the amount of rain that has fallen in houston, last check, 25 inches in some areas. Expecting much much more and this is just something that even with the preparation, this is something that on a scale that many local Authorities Say they could not have handled, but, again, at this point, there are some mandatory evacuations for certain neighborhoods. Two reservoirs letting more water on and that will cause the water levels to rise. This situation as you see behind me is not going anyway any time soon. Gabe, well be checking with you as the morning wears on. Lets go to dylan dryer. One of the futures of this storm is it just seems to be sitting right on top of that area and dumping more rain. What do you expect today. Reporter savannah, we expect even more rain on top of whats already on the ground. Even though were very focused on the flooding rains, its still the threat of tornados. This is still a tropical system. The storm itself is continuing to tap into the gulf of mexico. Thats been the whole issue. Endless supply of moisture and that produces those torrential downpours. Seen rainfall rights of 46 inches per hour. Seeing rainfall rights this morning 13 inches per hour. The rain lasts four hours. We are looking at this storm to meander a little to the southeast very slowly. Back over the gulf of mexico. Gives it the energy it needs to maintain strength. Then move up to the northeast. Now, weve already picked up reports of 1530 inches of rain. Thats whats on the ground. The problem is were going to be in and out of these tropical downpours for the next 48 hours and after that scattered showers. Looking at an additional 1525 inches of rain putting storm totals over 50 inches. If we get more than 52 inches, that will be the most rain weve ever seen from a Tropical Cyclone in the United States ever. The last was a hurricane in 1950 that affected hawaii. This is unprecedented. Especially for this area. Just going to get worse. Just terrifies. Were going to have complete coverage this morning on today.
