Firing of a missile over japan, the u. N. Now condemning this latest test but isnt taking any action. Good morning, everyone, its august 29th. Im Ayman Mohyeldin along id Yasmin Vossoughian and louis burgdorf. Harvey will make landfall once again as some towns on the edge have measured 50 inches of rain. With the president s and first ladys visit yesterday, the situation became more dire for many in the city and across south texas.

Along those killed, Houston Police officer Sergeant Steve perez. The chief of police spoke about how he died and how he lived

im upstream from the Addicks Reservoir, the addicks and barker are built and designed to keep Downtown Houston from flooding. This is what it looks like if theyre working. You can imagine the reservoirs have been taking in tons of water. Theyre designed to fill up and be discharged into the Buffalo Bayou and out to the gulf. But the rate of rain over the last couple of days has just been far more than the reservoirs can handle. Theyve been overflowing up in the neighborhoods around highway 6 where im standing right now. Up and through western houston, leaving neighborhoods with water waist deep or higher. Were waiting to get into one of these neighborhoods this morning when it gets lighter and safer. The plan is to discharge water out through the reservoirs out through the dams which are getting spilled over. Which they dont want to see suffer any sort of catastrophic failure. Theyre discharging this water out just as fast as they can. And you cant really see it here in this light. But you can feel the water flowing past me as its going down through the reservoirs and hopefully out through the gulf. Its something that the Army Corps Of Engineers and others here in houston are going to be watching. Garrett haake, thank you. Lets turn to the center in houston opening as a massive shelter.
