Hurricane Harvey swept into Texas over the weekend, causing at least two fatalities and billions of dollars in damage.
The hurricane paralyzed much of the Houston metropolitan area and several counties in southeast Texas. While the worst of the storm was over by mid-day Saturday, many parts of the state remain under a flash flood wash through Wednesday. Brock Long, the director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, predicted that the areas affected would be “uninhabitable for weeks or months.”
