Now, nearly 50 inches of rain (4 feet!) are in the forecast as Harvey stalls over Houston, and the Weather Service is stretching to find the right way to describe the risk.
They’re calling the situation “unprecedented.”
Long-time weather journalists and meteorologists are saying this language is as dire as the National Weather Service gets.
Rains could last through the week. Five are reported dead already. More deaths may come. This situation is likely to get worse before it gets better.

Thankful this won’t affect Katy but sorry for those whom it will.
Two of my friends and their families have been evacuated. The other was still in her home at noon today, have not heard from her since then.
Good morning, kalee.
Has your third friend been heard from or evacuated?
Hoping all is well!
I still haven’t heard from her. :(
You must be very worried - I’m so sorry.
I’ll say extra prayers for her.
*hug*
Thank you, I have not heard anything today.
