Good monday morning. August 28th. As we await daylight, the situation worsens in southern texas. More rain is in the forecast, and theres simply nowhere for it to go. President trump says he will visit the area tuesday. There are stories of heroism. Neighbors and people from states away helping each other in the depth of this catastrophe. The latest. Two people are dead. 262,000 more without power. Many of houstons sprawling freeways simply impossible with abandoned cars and semis literally littering the road. Last night in darkness a Traffic Camera caught this moment. A water rescue effort in katy, texas, just outside of houston. First responders there pulling the person from the flat bed of a truck.
