As of August 29, 2017, at least 10 people are dead, with many more injured, as parts of the Houston area were inundated with more than 30 inches of rain. Forecasters say totals could reach 50 inches as rainfall continues through Wednesday.
Gov. Greg Abbott of Texas, calling the storm “one of the largest disasters America has ever faced,” said the region would not recover anytime soon. Any donation from you will be very helpful for the needed people.
Some residents struggled with whether to stay in their homes, after Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner made the difficult decision not to issue a mandatory evacuation order.
Houston’s hospitals struggled to treat victims and the upheaval closed schools across Texas. The brutal storm also put the brakes on the area’s recent economic upswing.
Emergency dispatchers were overwhelmed as dramatic rescues unfolded across the state. Many people shared an image of nursing home residents in waist-high waters before they were rescued. Clifford Krauss, a Times reporter, filed a dispatch from his own flooded house. And some people went to great lengths to take their pets with them to safety.
President Trump left the White House for Texas on Tuesday morning, even as the storm continued to bear down on parts of the state. He had signed a federal disaster proclamation over the weekend.
Houston opened its convention center as a mass shelter, and Dallas planned to do the same. Tens of thousands of people spent the weekend in shelters. In San Antonio and in Houston, some of them talked to Times reporters about their fears for what awaited them back home.
Southeast of Houston, a rain gauge at Mary's Creek at Winding Road has picked up 49.32 inches of rain from Harvey, the weather service said. This broke the record of 48 inches set in Medina, Texas, from Amelia in 1978.
Isolated storm totals may reach 50 inches over the upper Texas coast, including the Houston/Galveston metropolitan area.
You may help the survivors with a donation as little as $15.00, which merely costs you a dinner.
No matter how much you donate, your support will be very helpful for the survivors to relieve their pains and provide the possible financial resources for their families to rebuild their homes.
Any individual, organization, and business entity may feel free to make a donation to the World Hongming Foundation to support its disaster relief efforts.
