The headquarters. Eric hello and thank you for staying with us. Its been a tough 24 hours for the folks in texas. We need a lot of prayers say the officials. Harvey is the fiercest hurricane to strike the country in nearly a decade. It will continue to dump 20 inches of rain or more on parts of texas with three more feet expected. The storm seems likely to hover over the area for the next several days. The governor was warning the most catastrophic flooding could still be on its way.

But as these search and rescue operations continue, that number could rise. Back to you in new york. Laura all right. Steve harrigan, incredible pictures in that house right behind you.

Winds are now 90 Miles Per Hour. This is new information at the top of the hour. A category one hurricane. Still enough wind to topple trees. Still enough to bring in the water, but, again, the main threat now will start to focus into the flood threat, and thats probably the hardest thing to wrap your mind around. The flood threat lasting through much of the upcoming week. Its kind of maneuvering around here. You can see its not just the point, though.
