A large and complicated rescue operation is underway in Houston as floodwaters continue to rise, fed by unrelenting rain.
So far, there’s no end in sight.
Tropical Storm Harvey is expected to produce 10 to 20 more inches of rain through Thursday over the upper Texas coast, where some areas — including the Houston metropolitan area — may see accumulations of up to 50 inches.
Here are options to help.
