Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has activated 3,000 national and state guard members after Harvey dumped more than two feet of rain on Houston metro, causing historic and catastrophic flooding from rainfall that has been characterized by the National Weather Service as "beyond anything experienced before."

Thousands of homes continue to take on water and hundreds of people remain trapped and stranded in rising floodwaters across the Houston area. Thousands of people have been rescued so far and the death toll from Harvey rose to three.

“There is life-threatening, catastrophic flooding happening now in Southeast Harris County,” Jeff Lindner of the Harris County Flood Control District told The Weather Channel...

Dr. Greg Postel, meteorologist and hurricane specialist for The Weather Channel, said the flooding unfolding in the Houston area "could be the worst flooding disaster in U.S. history;" and Gov. Abbott, appearing on Fox News Sunday, said: "We're measuring rain these days not in inches but in feet."

In an on-air phone interview with The Weather Channel Sunday, Texas Senator Ted Cruz said the number 1 challenge for emergency officials right now is securing more assets for high water rescues. In Houston alone, there have been over 2,000 water rescues.

He added that he spoke with Gov. Abbott, who says they have 60 boats, 20 helicopters, 600 troopers and 3000 National Guard soldiers mobilized to help rescue people.

In addition to the rescue crews, Cruz said residents with flat-bottomed boats have been assisting with saving people from flooded homes. He thanked Texas residents and those pitching in from other states, describing the outpouring of help as "inspirational" and a reminder that "there's a lot more that unites us."

Despite the outpouring of help, Cruz says this is an active crisis situation and the need for rescue assets will only continue to grow...
