Heavy Flooding in Houston After Hurricane Harvey
Flooding is expected to continue in Texas for days, and in spots up the lower Mississippi River valley to the Ohio River valley as the storm crawls north and east.
About four to 8 inches of rain, coupled with a serious threat of flash flooding, are sight across the Tennessee Valley and West Virginia, as water rushes from higher elevations to low-lying areas.
As the rains move into the northeast, residents of these areas should please remain extremely vigilant
The Nashville area, which got up to 10 inches of rain in the past day, closed schools Friday. The river levels do not come close the previous 2010 flood which caused over $2 billion in property damage and lives of 11 people in Davidson County lost their precious lives..
Richard Williams one of the resident said to have woke up to find water already knee deep in the Chestnut Flats Apartments, when a neighbor pounded on his door at 11:30 p.m. Thursday.
All 13 residents of the complex were evacuated to a Red Cross shelter. About 50 people evacuated from flooding across the city.
The National Weather Service in Louisville issued a flash-flood warning for that area Friday until noon.
After dumping a record nearly 52 inches of rain on Houston, Harvey has already killed at least 39 people. Search and rescue efforts continue block by block in Houston.
Building temporary housing and repairing damaged structures is a process that officials warn will prove frustrating.
