Floodwaters from Tropical Storm Harvey surround homes and businesses in Port Arthur, Texas, on Thursday. Downgraded to a tropical depression, Harvey continues to dump rain in Louisiana, where north-central parts of the state got 7 inches in a recent 24-hour stretch. Communities along 250 miles of Texas’s coast from Corpus Christi to Port Arthur have been battered and vast sections of the country’s fourth most-populous city, Houston, remain under water. “At this time there is no water supply for the City water system,” the city said in press release shortly after midnight. Mary Colson wipes away tears at the George R. Brown Convention Center in Houston, where nearly 10,000 people are taking shelter after Tropical Storm Harvey.
