Harvey causes 'catastrophic flooding' in Houston, shuts down airport


Hurricane Harvey continued to pound southeastern Texas on Sunday with "catastrophic flooding" in Houston that led to at least one death and an airport shutdown caused by standing water on the runways. At least one person died due to the flooding, Houston Fire Department's Sheldra Brigham said. Houston Police Chief Art Acevedo told "Fox & Friends Weekend" the city's 911 system has been "overwhelmed" since Harvey struck. The hurricane dumped more than 20 inches of rain in the Houston area, causing "life-threatening catastrophic flooding" in southeastern Texas, The National Hurricane Center reported. Harvey made landfall as a Category 4 hurricane late Friday night, but downgraded to a tropical storm by Saturday.
