6:09 pm
is expected to fall. corpus christi was in the eye of the storm when it hit. the streets are now deserted here after the rush to evacuate. 20 miles inland, in the city of victoria, they are preparing for the worst. what is your worst case scenario? h—a—r—v—e—y, that's about as worst—case scenario for a community the size of victoria. we've never seen a forecast for that kind of localised rain. it's the most dangerous forecast we've ever seen. president trump has signed a disaster proclamation for texas to free up federal aid. harvey is stubborn and isn't planning on leaving any time soon, bringing several days of storm force winds and rain ahead. a short while ago, don champion, a reporterfor the cbs network in the us, explained what it had been like when the hurricane hit corpus christi in texas.
6:10 pm

6:11 pm
widespread. there are numerous businesses and homes that are just destroyed. also now there is the continued problem of flooding, not only there but also areas to the north, where they are bracing for if not 30 inches of rain or more. how many people sat the storm out? a lot of people were told to get out of the area on thursday? yes, no official numbers on how many people did decide to stay behind. it certainly was a major concern yesterday in the hours ahead of the storm. we saw the governor taking to local newscast at the national newscast basically pleading to people, telling them they were running out of time to safely leave this region ahead of the storm. certainly there was a big concern about that. we encountered a few folks as we were doing some live shots yesterday along the water.
6:12 pm
