Houston braces for more rain following hurricane havoc
Houston residents braced for more rain yesterday after floods dubbed “the worst in US history” deluged the Texan city.
Two feet of rain have fallen on Houston since Hurricane Harvey hit land on Friday night, with between two and three feet more predicted by Wednesday.
Thousands of homes have been swamped and roads submerged.
Federal Emergency Management Agency director Brock Long said yesterday that 50 counties across Texas are affected by the flooding and it was likely to burst into Louisiana over the next few days.
