Houston just lifted an Major Concerns of major looting. We are live on the ground there in moments but first. Ainsley lets get to janice dean who is tracking the latest path. Janice another path you mentioned in cammeron louisiana and still not out of the woods in terms of heavy rainfall for not only Southeast Texas but louisiana and you were valley. Houston your days of drying out begin today. But there is a tornado threat. We actually had a tornado warn storm west of new orleans. We are watching this future radar. Still this area of low pressure, Tropical Storm harvey will remain stationary and then it will start to move begin not guilty next 12 to 18 hours it will be picked up by a cold front, a trough that will move this north and eastward over the weekend. We still could see upwards of a foot of rainfall across the Mississippi River valley as well as louisiana. Look at houston this morning. We are reporting no inches of rainfall but still the river waters, the bayou waters are going to remain high. Major flood stage until at least next week. So any more rain in the forecast is not going to be a welcome sight for the foreseeable next four or five days we are in the clear. But there is the latest track. As you mentioned it made another landfall across cammeron, louisiana. By tomorrow, it moves up towards the northeast. But look at this. We are in recordsetting territory. Harvey 51 pulp 8 inches. That was last night. The most rainfall we have ever seen from a Tropical Storm in hawaii i think we will beat that historic. Back to you. Brian lower 48 has the record, sadly. Just shy of 52 inches. Thanks so much. We should correct the deaths by saying significant amount. Its not 18. Its actually 30. Ainsley 30 people have died including a police officer. We will continue to report on that throughout the next three hours. But moments ago, an overnight mandatory curfew was lifted in houston where authorities are not only dealing with historic flooding but Armed Robbers and looters. Brian they are going to feel the wrath of the law. Griff jenkins is in houston with the latest. Griff. Good morning, guys. Thats right. The curfew was just lifted it was mid knight to 5 00 a. M. As we have seen in these things the best of humanity comes out. Countless hundreds of volunteers, the cajun navy and others and rescues. So too it brings out the worst and a few, 14 Armed Robbers arrested according to the Houston Police and prosecutors here saying that they are now stiffening the penalty. If you burglarize a house normally not during a major flood or disaster its two to 20 years. Now its 5 to life with mandatory sentence time. This is chief art ascevedo with a message to the looters. This is the state of texas. Were a welcoming city. But we are not going to tolerate people victimizing, especially committing armed robberies of our community. We are going to catch you. Now we talked to a guy just trying to go to work today. And we are going to bring that to you in the next hour. What he had to say about how he feels about the looters. Finally as janice has mentioned the range has stopped. We are on north side of the Addicks Reservoir the spillover point just a couple miles of up the road from me. So much water coming down from the north that it is going to spill according to the Harris County flood folk for the next four to five weeks. This flooding is going to put homes under water until october, guys. The rescues are going to continue. Its going to be a very busy day as Law Enforcement has to now contend with both rescuing people and stopping these criminals that have unleashed the worst that humanity has to offer. Guys . Brian all right. Thanks, griff. Meanwhile, we are still in the rescue and escape phase which is astounding because this is day 5 because they were told to hunker down and they didnt know how high it was going to get. They didnt know these dams were going to be topped. So, therefore, there is going to be this improvised series of rescues is going to be needed even today. Ainsley griff was talking about the looters and bad things happening. There are some angels and heroes, however, that are responding to this call. Pete you get the worst of human nature and then you have got the best of it. You see, really if you watch this channel throughout the day yesterday. You saw images time and time again from our own reporters in the middle of it but also watching helicopter rescues and human chains and just pure courage of people that dont know other people. There was no race or creed or background. Just americans and neighbors and citizens. Ainsley look at this right here. You mentioned a human chain. This is a lady in labor. Called 911. Couldnt get through. Emailed everyone in their apartment complex saying is anyone here in obgyn or a nurse can anyone help. An hour later the Fire Department comes they get human chain to get her. The good news is the baby was born and all of them are doing well. Brian a lot of those people have not been trained in mom rescue theyre called im going to make it happen. What about the fact that there are these shelters now and a lot of people leave those shelters and dogs need to be rescued. Come with the cages and get the dogs out with these flat boats which i think are key in this area in shallow water. Pete brian your point fifth day of rescues, pets. Obviously we are reporting 18, now possibly 30 deaths, so this has been a tragedy. But you also see how much how organized its really been. How many people have been able to to the point where now animals are also being rescued too. Ainsley look at this man. His name is chance warden his son. Both heroes posted this video on facebook. Rescuing horses trapped behind metal gates, opening the gates and pulling horses out so they wouldnt die. These stories are amazing. These heroes keep going back in and back in and rescuing more people and animals. Amazing story. Brian i get this story yesterday her husband and friends keep going out. The alligators and the snakes and the water is terrible and some times they walk and hit a manhole and they sink. Each time doing this they cant symptom people are waiting all alone for somebody to come help them. Here is jeff flock doing yeomens work in the field with this woman and family after she was rescued. Look at this raw emotion. Did you not expect this was going to happen . No. I didnt. Whats most upsetting to you right now . The fact that i waited so long and my kids i mean, i put them in danger. Thanks to them that showed up now because i didnt know who to call. I didnt know if it was going to be too late. I mean it was just an angel. Yeah. Pete who reached out to rescue them a local church. Civic organizations that are stepping up and saying whatever assets we have whatever Leadership Structure we have, our ability to communicate, we will use it to save lives. Ainsley as a parent, we all are parents we can relate to that you want to keep your kids safe. Thats our job as parents. One toddler wading through the water diaper and tshirt. Got out of the house, apparently, Good Samaritan saw her and said what are you doing out here and where dual . She said im just going on iraq with a. Gotten out of the house. The little girl thankfully knew where she lived and led the Good Samaritans back to the house. Her dad opened the door and was astonished had no idea his daughter had escaped. Pete day five of heroes and Police Officers and officers. Brian sleeping in police stations. Pete National Guard sleeping in a furniture store. Pete one officers life was lost yesterday. Brian here is the Houston Police chief talking about the death of steve perez. We couldnt find him. And once our dive team got there, it was too treacherous to go under and look for him. We made a decision to leave officers there waiting until the morning because as much as we wanted to recover him last night, we could not put another more officers at risk. For we knew in our hearts it was going to be the recovery mission. I had the privilege of notifying his wife and son and extended family at their home that he died. That he laid down his life. But im heartened by two things. Number one, i got to learn that is he a family of faith. Has faith in god and when you have faith, theres hope. His wife told me she had asked him not to go in. Told him not to go because the conditions were so bad. And his response was we have got work to do. Brian wow. So there you go. Pete 34 years on the force. Brian those cops are working overtime and more are flooding in from outside. And there is a call from the outside for 20,000 more National Guardsmen who have yet to be implemented. Meanwhile the president as we mentioned yesterday during our show, one on air force one to Corpus Christi on route from austin to sees a close as he can whats going on. Ainsley he went to Corpus Christi. Did you see the image . This is the president and the first lady getting off of air force one. They landed in Corpus Christi first and then they went to austin. When they were in Corpus Christi, he stood on the bumper of a fire truck and he waived the texas flag. It was beautiful. And he just talked about the resilience of tension and surveyed the damage and was there to just rally all the communities. There he is with the texas flag. Brian im reading glen thrush today one of his biggest critics mocked on snl. The word from inside the white house is the president is more involved with this than almost anything including the elections because he wants to know every detail of whats happening to stay ahead of it i actually think he is best when he is under pressure and man is he under pressure. Pete absolutely. This is what he had sotosay yesterday before holding up that flag. Take a listen. This has been a total cooperative effort. Again, we will see you soon. I will tell you this is historic. Its epic what happened. But, you know what . It happened in texas and texas can handle anything. Thank you all, folks. Thank you. [cheers and applause] ainsley i love that he wore the usa hat instead of make America Great again. Many people love those hats including the president. Its usa. We are all united one country for a while. Pete thats been his message for long time. We are not left, we are not right, we are not black, we are not right. We are all americans. People under water wondering where their lives are going and he tried a delicate balance of being there but not being too close so you are not interfering with the rescue efforts but at the same time showing washington cares. The federal government is going to be here. We want boots on the ground to assess. I heard, too, brian, is he as involved with this to make sure he gets it right. Brian fema director has been phenomenal. Meanwhile, it didnt stop his critics from blasting his wife who Melania Trump, the first lady who wore a float tuesdaflotus hat first tie seep. When she left the white house she had heels on. It was on every left wing blog. Ainsley lives are at stake here. Why are we worried about fashion right now . Why arent we worried about the lives. She changed to tennis shoes when she got to texas. Melania stiletto side show. Who wears stilettos to houston no, joke. Being lauded for compassion when she travels overseas. Ended up going when she was on scene in sneakers. Ripped for wearing high heels in root to air force one. Pete if you are first lady you cant be fashionable. Is it inappropriate a ainsley if you criticize one women then you are criticizing all women. You cant criticize someone for their clothes or wardrobe choices. She is in washington when she wears that then she goes to the hurricane area and wears tennis shoes. Can we focus on being americans for one day, please . Pete well said. Joel osteen faced a lot of criticism opening his church doors to thousands of church doors for thousands in houston. He didnt do it fast enough. He joins us live this morning. Cant sleep . Enough. Take that. A breathe right nasal strip of course. Imagine just put one on and pow it instantly opens your nose up to 38 more than allergy medicine alone. So you can breathe, and sleep. Better than a catnap. Shut your mouth and say goodnight, mouthbreathers. Breathe right. flourish spray noise flourish spray noise flourish spray noise flourish spray noise the joy of real cream in 15 calories per serving. Enough said.

Historic rainfall and flooding from harvey putting two main reservoiring on the bridge in the houston area. Joining success colonel paul owens, the southwest Division Commander of the u. S. Army corps of engineers. Colonel, i can imagine you are really worried about a lot of things. Whats the number one thing thats on your mind right now that we should be aware of . Well, the first thing that i would like to say man, its Pretty Amazing what the First Responders are doing in this area. And we feel a kinship with soldiers with First Responders. Really amazed what those guys are doing. Our biggest area of emphasis right now is the reservoirs at addicks and barker, in particular the Addicks Reservoir. The dam height is about 108 feet. The water is 109 feet. We are seeing. So water go around the end of the dams and so we are monitoring that very closely. But i think i would just like to reassure people that the dam, as it was planned, is operating as expected but were monitoring it closely. There is no. There is very, very low probability of catastrophic failure at this point. We certainly are watching that those structures very closely. Brian the nonprofessional like myself would think the rain has stopped and maybe we could worry about the what happens if the water goes down. Should would he be thinking like that . Were going to watch that closely. You know, we are releasing controlled water from the reservoirs in a way thats going to take, you know, on the order of weeks to relee some of the pressure from the homes that are upstream of this reservoir. We are also worried about the navigation channels that are ports of houston that have been impacted by this storm. We have a lot of efforts going out to survey and ensure that there are no obstructions to 1 2 celebration to get those ports back open again with the assistance of the coast guard. Brian when do you think the water will noticeably go down . Could we see that today . We think the water is still rising. Even though it stopped range, there is still a lot of water collecting in the basins that still have to come to, specifically the addicks and barker reservoir. We only expect it to rise to maybe 111 feet at the most. Its at 109 right now. We wont see it go that much higher and we dont to expect to see any dramatic flows around the ends of the dams at this point. Brian how many people on your teams and what are you going to do today . There is about 400 people heroic people had their families and homes impacted by the storm and, you know, they are putting their rough sack on and going to work and trying to help by monitoring this dam and trying to prevent as much further damage as we can by operating those projects. Thanks for asking about those guys they are doing incredible job for us. Brian this is going to be weeks and months. We need their expertise. We need you too, colonel. Thanks for joining us.
