Live feed from Houston, Texas. Just unbelievable flooding taking place. 5 helicopters about 25 boats and a few air boats are currently rescuing people. The TV station had to move to the 2nd floor of the building because they have water entering the 1st floor. They have received around 25 inches to this point with probably that much to come in the next few days.

And it just gets worst
Five reported dead in flood-ravaged Houston
HOUSTON — It was supposed to be bad. It wasn’t supposed to be this bad.
Thunderstorms pummeled this city overnight Saturday as Tropical Storm Harvey stalled out again, dropping more nearly two feet of rain in some residential neighborhoods, which triggered widespread flooding that is already blamed for five deaths.

The weather service had predicted that the storm's worst effect would likely be the flooding because of the storm system staying in the area for so long. Most hurricanes blow through rather quickly but this one was not typical by any means.

Some of the pictures coming in are really heartbreaking. This one of ladies in a nursing home really got me.
We all need to pray for all of them caught in this natural disaster as well as the first responders helping.
