Tens of thousands of Americans to shelters

The US authorities expect that, due to hurricane Harvey, some 30,000 people should be accommodated in shelters.

The tropical storm causes huge water pollution in the south of the United States. Rescue workers, according to driver William Long, report FEMA's disaster relief service yet to see how much damage to homes and businesses is. The FEMA driver said there was an 'event like Texas that has never seen. '

Long stressed that it is a dynamic situation. Thus, the numbers mentioned by him can still be changed. 'Each figure we are now bringing out will change over half an hour. '
