We were walking through a parking lot and within an hour being able to walk through clearly. In an hour it was up to our knees just in that parking lot. Roads turned into rivers. Water basically waist high. The situation has been bad here. We heard from the coast guard saying they have rescued 100 people from the air. 500 distress calls have come in. That is the situation where it has been an unprecedented amount of rainfall in a short period of time. Given the fact that you have this heavy rain moving through, what is that doing to the ability of rescue workers to do their job and to safety . Reporter got to imagine it is only making their jobs even more difficult in an already dire situation here. Thousands of rescues taking place as we speak. The roads are an absolute nightmare. Everyone has been warned to stay inside, stay off the roads. People have been told, and coast guard reiterated this moments ago, do not try to hide in your attic. If your house is compromised, mark the roof or get out and stay on top of the roof so crews can be able to see you and get to you from there. As you just mentioned, with one of these heavy bands raining down on us right now, it has to make the job even more difficult. What makes this even more complicated and dangerous, there are tornado watches and warnings that have been popping up throughout this area. Going into the attic from a flooding perspective could be dangerous because thats the first part to be destroyed when a tornado moves through. Victor, before we let you go, the mayor phased questions about the fact that he told people not to evacuate after the governor recommend they do. What is the mayor saying about that right now . Reporter well, the mayor is basically defending his position to tell people not to evacuate. At least part of the reason he said people should not evacuated, he cited 2005 and hurricane rita and the nightmarish deadly grid lock when so many people tried to flee the city. That led to accidents, medical emergencies. And 100 people ended up dying while evacuating. More died from evacuating than from the hurricane itself. We knew this was going to be a flooding event. However, this amount of rainfall, im not sure if anybody could foresee something this strong. Up to 40 more inches in the coming days. We have been covering harvey since it made landfall friday night. Rob is in rosenberg, texas near a giant sinkhole. Let me ask you about the forecast at this point. What makes this storm so dangerous when compared to other hurricanes is that it is still stuck in place. That doesnt appear to be leaving the neighborhood any time soon. What is the forecast for the already waterlogged houston at this point . Reporter multidays of more rain, to give you the easy answer. Were stuck in between steering currents. Were always comparing this to Tropical Storm alice in 2001 which set all the records here in houston. It was chutely devastating. It was absolutely devastating. This storm was a category 4 when it came onshore. So it is that much stronger, has that much more expanse and flow and rainfall to it. We expect to see another foot, maybe two more feet before its all done on wednesday. We will have things like whats behind me, a sinkhole, happen a lot more off. We just came upon this when we were riding up here with the help of our abc 13 ktrk. They are letting us borrow their equipment to show you this. We dont want to get too close. Were hearing, and you can hear again, a sloughing off of the dirt and pavement. This is a growing sinkhole. What is usually just a small creek that comes underneath this road. It has a pipe, culvert that is about four feet wide that has broken loose. And this piece of infrastructure is done. So of greater concern beyond this, we will see more of this in the coming days, is that this area of houston is between two large rivers. Is and as they rise here, we get more rain the incomes couple of days. The creeks will then kind of succumb to the larger rivers, which will then swell. They may combine down to this area. They may be under completely under water. This water has no place to go. One of many reasons it floods so easily. And two, three, four feet on were top of that, its a nightmare. Thats what weren during right now. Just to put a fine point on this, rob, you dont think that the city and the surrounding area is going to get a break from this rain any time soon . Were looking at the end of the day wednesday . Reporter thats right. Hopefully the tkpweupblg of the day wednesday. There is a chance that we start to see some of these bands shift. We will see intermittent breaks. Generally speaking its going to be on and off periods of heavy rain. Where the circulation of harvey goes, were not quite sure about that. But it is where these bands set up. For the past 12, 18 hours they have been set up directly over houston. They have been very, very wide. We need them in the strength and the shift. Other Mother Nature can tell us in the next 24, 48 hours. Lets quickly get over to eva who is on the road about 40 miles outside of houston. Eva, what are you seeing . Reporter dan, well, we are seeing a lot of water. Im trying to give you a perspective of the water were seeing. Its not on the road where were driving right now. But you can see the water is pushing up to the edge of the road. A lot of areas have have dried out again. But all along the journey, from san antonio now to houston, we have seen water crossing the road. One lane down. Were being very careful. Were not crossing through any water. We have been very careful about that. But we are seeing water right up to the edge of roads and right to the edge of homes. We are seeing people who are still in a lot of those homes. So of course everyone just waiting and watching. Eva, thank you. Lets come back to the studio. Kay parker in front of the weather wall. This event is unprecedented and all impacts are unknown and beyond anything experienced. Jibe with what youre saying . Well, the forecast is playing out exactly how we thought it would. This massive influx of water is not stopping. More than we saw in Tropical Storm alice, which is the storm of record. We are seeing the levels in the rivers and bayous. They are overtopping that. We dont know what to expect because we have never seen flooding on this level. National Weather Service saying we have days to go with the rain bands off the gulf into the same area. It will keep dumping rain in houston. The only chaps for a break in between rain bands. Thats it. This is a dire event. When i spoke this morning to the police chief in houston, he said its a 500year flood for them. Thank you for joining us for this special report. Abc news will stay on top of this unfolding crisis throughout the day with all the latest developments coming up later on world news tonight. And of course at any time on abcnews. Com. Im dan harris in new york. This has been this has bn the following is a sponsored program. Welcome to bay area buys. Were at russells Fine Furniture in santa clara, where they are celebrating the new year. Happy new year, guys. I think you misunderstood. No, you said that the end of august is the end of your year, so were celebrating the end of your year. Well, in that sense, youre correct. Our fiscal year ends august 31st. In that case, there you go. Now, why does that help these nice folks out there . They are nice folks .
