Weekend wrap: Hurricane Harvey batters Texas coast, floods Houston

Published August 28, 2017 1:07am ET



Hurricane Harvey plowed into the Texas coastline Friday night and its effects were still being felt into the night Sunday as Houston dealt with historic flooding and coastal cities picked up the pieces from a Category 4 storm.

Harvey dumped 20 inches of rain on Houston between Saturday and Sunday, a little less than half as much as the city receives in rain every year. Reports indicated somewhere between three and five people were killed by the storm Sunday evening.
