At least 30 deaths and many more injuries are believed to be related to the storm, which has inundated parts of the Houston area with more than 40 inches of rain.

In some places, totals have surpassed 50 inches, setting a record for the continental United States. At least a quarter of the land mass of Harris County, which includes Houston, is flooded, according to Jeffrey Lindner, a meteorologist for the Harris County Flood Control District.

Harvey is now hitting Louisiana, too, and storm surge alerts are in effect along hundreds of miles of coastline from Port Bolivar, Tex., to Morgan City, La.

    Oh Huston , USA’ Babylon, a state with more oil refineries and chemical plants than the eye can see, ravagers of the world petroleum resources benefiting a few, just like the biblical tower, God have a way of checking, some people in Dominica called me unGodly, one without sin over my views, knowing the history we all should know, gives me the comfort of seeing with the 3rd eye, the eye of the God in me, if in my postings, i can’t wake up my people from their slumber, then it is nonsensical. Say what you may, we are seeing Biblical floods, and just like in Biblical times, a lot of wailing and praying, God’ work is not yet done, we all humans have been living beyond reason,hate , greed and all the above, look within your self and you will see what i’m talking about.
