i hope and pray that people evacuated. some buildings have been oh blit rated. there s very little they could do to respond to the fires when they re also dealing with a hurricane. well, texas continues to deal with what is now tropical storm harvey. one person dead and the region facing the prospect of days of rain and potentially catastrophic flooding throughout the midweek. with us right now democratic congressman al green of houston. sir, thank you so much for joining us. how is houston doing? what are you learning about injuries and those who need help right now in the houston area? well, thank you for having me on. may i first say that my sim pa thiz and my prayers go out to those who have been harmed and especially to the family of the person who has lost life. so sorry to hear about that. and my hope is we ve done enough to alert people such that people won t find themselves in harm s
of anybody losing their life. thank you so much. harvey now in houston. that s what we re looking at. we re live in the already saturated city that could see days of downpours thanks to the slow-moving tropical storm. with my moderate to severe crohn s disease i kept looking for ways to manage my symptoms. i thought i was doing okay. then it hit me. managing was all i was doing. when i told my doctor, i learned humira is for people who still have symptoms of moderate to severe crohn s disease even after trying other medications. in clinical studies, the majority of people on humira saw significant symptom relief and many achieved remission. humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened; as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. before treatment, get tested for tb. tell your doctor if you ve been to areas
going south as we head into monday. then it goes north all the way through wednesday of next week. the concern with that is the storm is not moving because there s nothing to move it along. we ve got a high to the west and a high to the east as well. and with that it s sand wichg harvey right in the middle. there s no steering air to really push this storm along. so for the next several days all the way into next weekend we re going to see rain. so devastating flooding is the biggest concern right now, richard. appreciate that. and of course we ll get right back to the breaking news on the ground as well as what shanna is watching from the sky in terms of harvey. but as this was happening, as the news was coming out about harvey, there was also news coming out of washington as well. it was quite the friday night news dump yesterday. the white house removed embattled trump aid sebastian gorka just days after the departure of steve bannon.
have hurricane warning so this will be ground zero for land fall and not until about after midnight tomorrow night in the wee hours, in the darkness of saturday morning but we have tropical storm storm warnings near inland. it s been 12 years since the u.s. has seen a landfall of a major hurricane. that s category three, four, or five. this category one, storm harvey, is most likely going to reach major category status at a category three, maybe even close to a four but we ll see if there s enough time and space. moving in the inventovicinity os christi. notice the path. it comes in and wants to back out a little bit. first of all, that s a little concerning. we want to get the system in and get it moved on because this is going to drop a lot of rainfall. the computer models right now, besides giving us a category three with winds over 110 miles per hour, watch what happens, brooke. all the computer models pretty good agreement where it makes
