Tens of thousands of homes run by Harvey

An estimated 30,000 to 40,000 houses in the Houston area are to a greater or lesser extent affected by floods.

The authorities in the area have communicated that Wednesday.

President Trump, currently living in Texas, told Twitter that now he had perceived the horrors and devastations with his own eyes, his heart went even more to the inhabitants of the severely affected state. One day earlier, he already knew that the federal government would bump into Washington to cope with financial distress.

Harvey is still continuing with the supply of rain. The storm area slowly rises to the east and has reached Louisiana's neighboring state. Part of the tropical storm returned across the Gulf of Mexico to land and reached the Louisiana coast on Wednesday morning.

The inhabitants of the coastal strip, with its many rivers and lakes, have prepared themselves for days to come to a severe precipitation.
