Tropical Storm Harvey remains a serious threat as it continues a slow march across Texas, even as the National Hurricane Center downgraded it from a hurricane on Saturday.
While the wind was weakening, the rain proved to be relentless.
"We could see isolated areas with rainfall amounts as much as 40 inches, and that's going to cause life-threatening flooding over the next several days," said Mike Brennan, senior hurricane specialist at the National Hurricane Center. "We're really looking at a multiday rainfall disaster unfolding."
When Harvey. It was the strongest hurricane to hit Texas in decades.
