hi, everybody. our coverage of the disastrous storm in texas continues. we're live from the cnn newsroom in atlanta. >> yes, the death toll has now increased, a second fatality is being blamed on tropical storm harvey as it moves inland pummeling texas with torrential ra and we were warned this was going to happen. >> and the rainfall could be catastrophic. there are dire warnings of flooding in houston where a flash flood emergency has been issued. >> houston police confirm a woman was killed after being

swept away by floodwaters saturday. up to 20 sent mevent centimeter already fallen, but there could be another 4 inches per hour. you can see the damage in rockpo rockport, texas. that is where harvey struck as a category 4 hurricane friday. at least one person was killed in a house fire during the storm in rockport. rockport's mayor reports widespread devastation. the spokeswoman for the texas department of transportation is on the line with us from houston. karen, these numbers are spectacular as far as the rain and the potential for flooding. what are you advising people right now? >> we are encouraging everyone just to stay put and not get out on on the roadways. >> is that for the houston area?

>> yes, it's for the houston area and surrounding areas. we've had an incredible amount of rainfall that has come through our area overnight and continues to fall. it's extremely dangerous and life threatening. flooding is in progress. we have over 150 high water locations on the houston area highways. and so we're just encouraging people if they don't have to be out in this, just to go ahead and stay home, stay where they are. it is not worth risking your life to get out there. >> i want to ask you about that. at what point, if someone say is in the suburbs of houston and they feel like the rain is coming up too high, at some point do they need to make a decision to evacuate or is that not on on the table at this point? >> right. well, each area will be a little different. and so they will have to make that judgment call. right now we're just advising

that if you feel like you need to move to higher ground, then to be sure and listen to the local media and pay attention to the news and the reports of the high water locations so that you can make the best decision for yourself on where you're going to move. but right now, we're even saying at this point it's safer just for you to stay where you are and seek higher ground maybe in your house or just locally where you are because there are so many high water locations. if you get out, you're taking the risk of actually getting stuck in a flooded situation and that just increases your chances of having some problems. >> all right. karen, we certainly hope people have enough provisions in their home to last this out since it could be raining for several days. we'll stay in close contact with you. thank you, karen. >> and the national weather service confirms that a dozen tornadoes have impacted the houston area since friday. >> cnn affiliate kprc has more

on the devastating damage from the storms and the flooding. >> reporter: we are right on the i-45 feeder road at the frank wood exit and this whole thing is completely shut down. it is getting worse by the minute. it's unbelievable how fast the water is accumulating. we have a pickup truck down there, that guy is stuck. he's not going anywhere. i don't know what he's going to do. he may wind up being the object of a rescue in the next few minutes or so. we were down there about 200 yards farther down this road, had to turn and come back this way because our truck was about to be floated out of the area. we were in real danger. take a look at those barrels out the there. when we got here, that's how fast the rain is falling. that barrel was fully visible. now you can see the closest barrel to me is three quarters under water. now, that is in the last 15 to 20 minutes.

that is how fast the water is coming down. it is rising by inches as we talk here. >> you look behind me this, is one of the businesses that the torn tornado hit. this is a pizza hut restaurant. and what happened is that that tornado apparently was moving this direction and went right town this line of businesses. we'll move over here a little bits so you can get a wider shot of the row. it hit the pizza hut and then the wing stop next to it and then it apparently skipped and went over to the kfc and hit that. now, there were a lot of people inside these businesses when that happened. according to the fire department, about 25 people, customers and employees, a couple guys we talked to who were in the pizza hut, a couple of the workers said their first clue that something terribly wrong was happening was when a couple customers came running to them at the counter and then suddenly all of the glass, those

glass doors that you can see are missing, blew in at them. they all went and hid in the freezer. >> that is kprc there. and that was shot in missouri city just on the outskirts of houston. meteorologist derek van dam is about 125 miles southwest of where that was shot. he's in victoria, texas, which itself experienced extensive damage when the hurricane hit. te derek, i know you were saying earlier that you were able to walk around the city and what is the weather like now? >> reporter: it's treacherous here. it's todown right dangerous in houston. let me set the scene for you in victoria. you said it, i'm 125 miles to the south and west of houston. we did a pretty extensive walk around the city. ooirts what you would expect to see with an equivalent of a category 1 hurricane. trees completely snapped over, awnings, roofs, some minor

strun structural building damage. we have power lines down, some electricity has been restored. but the tropical storm continues to take me by surprise. every few minutes or so, we'll have a strong tropical storm force wind pelt us in the face with blinding rainfall. i'm sure during this live shot we'll get one of those. but i want to talk about houston because really this seems to be the story to follow at the moment. there are so many stories out ever this major, major hurricane that has made landfall in the united states. but first i want to talk about what the national weather service has deemed a flash flood emergency for catastrophic life threatening flooding. that is wording that is very rare. the national weather service does not use that wording often. water levels have surpassed a 500 year mark south of houston,

that i-45 are corridor is where we're focusing in on some incredible historic rainfall totals. get this, 500 millimeters or 20 inches of rain have fallen in less than 24 hours. in three of those hours, we saw 350 millimeters of that rainfall, that is 14 inches of rain. i'll try to put it in perspective. there were five simultaneous tornadoes in and around houston along with a flash flood emergency in the dark of night all at the same time. how does one city even he cope with it that? that is what they are dealing with.he cope with it that? that is what they are dealing with.e cope with it that? that is what they are dealing with. cope with it that? that is what they are dealing with. >> and we're looking at the pictures of the flooding. they leave no doubt as to, a, how much water there was and, b, how dangerous that could be. and yesterday he were mentioning that just a few inches of rain could sweep a man off his feet. a few more inches could sweep a

car. what do people in houston need to do? >> reporter: the time to evacuate has passed. the safest bet you have if you are in a flash flooding situation -- remember, there is a different between a flood warning and a flash flood warning. flash flood comes on almost enstae instantaneously. you need to seek high ground applied. if that is the highest level of the building or home you're in, that may be your best answer. there are going to be a lot of dire stories coming out of houston amongst all the tragedies that have occurred with harvey that has made landfall here not 24 hours ago. >> absolutely. and the word flash flood, flash is very important because i think some people unless you're in the situation can

underappreciate just how quickly water levels can rise. derek, thank you very much. we'll speak to you throughout the night. now our focus is houston and the wider path of this storm because karen maginnis joining us with that. and you all were warning us when this storm was approaching that the national weather service using rare words to explain what houston could be in for. >> yes, we were all really floored when we saw that as well. we are seeing things with this particular system we have not seen ever or very rarely. and to have six tornado warnings out in a very small area around houston was mind boggling to see that. and now there is another band that is expected to push through. we were talking about the i-45 corridor from houston towards galveston. but not just there, although you have a pretty heavy band moving

delight rue now, but then we have another band right on its heels and you better believe there is going to be the potential for tornadic activity associated with that, as well. people are tweeting out that they need help. that people are pregnant, they need to be rescued, someone has diabetes, someone has heart disease. we have seen all kinds of things all evening long. and staggering rainfall amounts. south houston, which is actually a little more southeast of the city, the metropolitan city of houston, has recorded in six hours 12 inches of rainfall. i know there is more than that now. but we keep he getting these periodic updates. the ground is saturated. there are still bands of rainfall moving through. and harley is barely a tropical

storm, but it is really -- it's very slow, it's picking up the moisture from the gulf of mexico and it is throwing just buckets of tropical moisture in an area that just can't take it anymore. >> can certainly understand. thank you so much. folks there, got to feel for the people going through this. we'll continue to cover it for the next couple hours for sure and dale hey here on cnn. and we have other news. the controversial pardon of joe arpaio may have been in the works even before arpaio went to trial. we have new details on that. plus the emergency flood warning in houston, texas. as we were telling you as tropical storm harvey stalls over that area, we'll see what houston's mayor is asking residents to do. also later this hour, combat styles collide in one of boxi boxing's most hyped fights.

how conor mcgregor faired against floyd mayweather, that is coming up as well. ile pay isn't connecting and i just got an unlimited plan. right plan, wrong network. you see verizon has america's largest most reliable 4g lte network and now unlimited plans start at $40 per line, you know what i am saying?

welcome back. the latest in u.s. politics. so a day after donald trump pardoned the former arizona

share require joe arrest arpaio burning that the president took a personal interest in the case before it even went to trial. >> according to the "washington post," the president reportedly asked the u.s. attorney general jeff sessions about dropping the case. but sessions told mr. trump it would be inappropriate to interfere. >> are arreare arpaio was event convict convicted. and he received a pardon friday. >> and a white house official says we noour tknew the preside wanted to do this for some time and worked to prepare for whatever the moment may company. >> and sarah huckabee sanders said this about the president's inquiry to the attorney general, it's only natural that the president would have a discussion with administration lawyers about legal matters. this case would be no different. the justice department declined to comment to the "post" about the story. let's bring in a woman who

teaches at the university of london. less citlie leslie, your election to the fact that the president asked the department of justice about dropping a criminal case against a political ally. >> i think it's deeply disturbing because it's yet another indicator that the president does not have an appropriate level of respect for the process of justice and for the rule of law, to actually intervene and specifically ask that a case be shut down. and so deeply problematic. never mind the broader issue of the pardon which i think is very, very grave with respect to the signal that it sends at a time when politics of race and division are very contentious in the united states. so it's not only the case which is deeply disturbing, the pardon, but it's also the manner in which it's been pursued and the timing is making a lot of people he very, very upset. >> what message does this send to law enforcement officials?

>> well, it's yet another signal, this is not the first time that there has been a question mark raised about whether the president has attempted to alter the course of an ongoing investigation and one thinks back to the question surrounding his motivations for firing fbi director comey. so it is a message, a signal that the president has sense that he can in a sense throw his weight around and doesn't have appropriate respect for the rule of law. but he did then back down of course when attorney general sessions who also takes a very hard line on immigration as we know, but nonetheless in this situation said no, this must go forward. and trump seems to have been determined to pursue the pardon in any case. of course he didn't do this at the rally in arizona, but he intimated that he would. and then he waited until friday night and immediately released -- with the hurricane and very dramatic backdrop of the ongoing hurricane presumably

to dampen some of the media -- the very negative coverage that he knew would be coming from this. this is a sheriff who is very notorious for pursuing very racially problematic policies and practices. and many other practices that he hasn't been held accountable for. so i think this is a very divisive decision. and remember that speaker of the house paul ryan has come out against it, and of course senator mccain and many people. so it hasn't been received well except by that very narrow part of president's base that he continues to think is essential to his surviving in the white house. >> let me interrupt you for a second. you mentioned senator john mccain. and he's had his tangles with president trump before. so perhaps it's not that surprising that he would criticize the president on this as well as a couple other presidents. the other arizona senator mr. flake who is also not always aligned with mr. trump. this however is more surprising.

the speaker of the house paul ryan has come out against the pardon. this is what his spokesman told the "wall street journal," the speaker does not agree with the decision, law enforcement officials have a special responsibility to respect the rights of everyone in the u.s. we should not allow anyone to believe that responsibility is diminished by this pardon. so again, my question here is should president trump be concerned that some top republicans, in this ways paul ryan, are falling against him on this? >> yeah, and i think we have to remember the condition text. th context. this is a case of basically racial profiling.text. context. this is a case of basically racial profiling. ashd t and the speaker of the house has made a statement in this situation that is very grave along social lines. so there is a movement now to put distance between the president and many people who

see that this is very damaging for them politically. so it is a very significant statement by the speaker of the house and i think that we will continue to see a lot of backlash on this particular decision by president trump, but i don't think that he's necessarily going to update his way of moving forward. he's gone back and forth, he's retracted some of his statements, his language has been very mixed since sharlg charlottesville. but to issue this pardon that is so clearly linked to issue of race and division in american society today in the aftermath of the last ten days of u.s. po politics is a very serious decision about that. >> so i want to's advi erevisit question after the steve bannon leaving the white house, whether the white house would change after that.

are you getting a clearer question on that now? >> yeah, i think that there was this hope that with john kelly coming in as chief of staff, with the departure of steve bannon who has bloat that had white nationalist america first approach, and also with the departure of gorka,that had white nationalist america first approach, and also with the departure of gorka, that there would be a return to the center of the u.s. politics coming out of the white house. and that's not what we've seen. in fact right after bannon's departure, we've seen the decisions that you've referred to. so it suggests that it is really president trump who is committed to a number of practices that are not well regarded by the majority of americans if you look at the polls. and remember his approval ratings have continued to decline even in the last week. and yet he remains committed to this base. and i think that the challenge

of course for the president is if he wants to continue to govern, if he wants to remain in office, if he wants to have success in the midterms, he has to extend his politics i don't understand that very narrow base and to be more consistent about it. he went of course to nevada, he spoke the language of unity and within just a few days of speaking a language of unity to that audience, he issues this pardon. which really is a setback i think. so the departure of bannon doesn't seem to be altering what is coming out of the white house at least on the set of issues, national security policy might be quite different. >> seems like conservative identity politics are stilt a big part of mr. trump's agenda despite the dea pparture of ste bannon. thank you very much. >> and you touched on this, but the president does have the constitutional authority to pardon anyone, but his pardon of arpaio could still cause him

legal problems down the road. >> and worth remembering that special counsel robert mueller is deep into a wide ranging investigation into the trump white house and that includes the firing of james comey. >> page pate explains how the arpaio pardon could possibly come back to haunt the president. >> it does show a pattern. it shows that this particular president wants to intercede, wants to put himself into the justice department machinery when it comes to law enforcement decisions, prosecutorial decisions. and while he has the power to do that, he is chief executive, he controls the executive branch, it's highly inappropriate. it's not something that we see presidents do. there are internal justice department policies that are supposed to proceed behind that type of conduct. but it is still legal. it's still constitutional. so while i think it's unusual and i think it may show a pattern of conduct that could be relevant to this separate investigation, the president is not going to get in trouble for

talking to sessions about this pardon. >> as mentioned, the former sheriff was convicted of violating a judge's order to stop racially profiling latino drivers. one of the key witnesses to testify against the sheriff has reacted to this pardon. >> and a new op-ed in the "washington post," he describes being pulled over along with his late wife by one of arpaio's deputies. i'll read part of to give you a sense of what he says he experienced. standing there in the street, he patted me town. my underarms, torso, my legs, even my groin. my wife was watching the whole time. that was the most humiliating part. i couldn't defend myself or i couldn't defend her. when the search was finished, i asked the deputy for the third time why he had pulled us over. he said it wasn't because he hasn't been -- it was because he hadn't been able to see the license plate on my truck and finally he let us go with this warning, don't think for a minute that this has anything do

with racial profiling. >> and he took with brooke baldwin about his did thsappoint over the pardon. >> i was furious when i heard the announcement that arpaio had been pardoned and i was also sad, disappointed, disappointed that the presidency was getting involved in a case in maricopa county and it was quite disappointing especially since i had been fighting this case going to court through every court session for the last 7 1/2 years. after all this effort of years,

now president cotrump comes wit the stroke of a pen erases everything and walks all over my efforts and that of the hispanic community in maricopa county. and all those people that stand behind the constitution and defend the constitution, some even with their lives, and apparently the constitution does not mean anything to either arpaio or trump. >> that was the key witness there talking about his experience and i'm sure he speaks for many others there in that county. well, coming up here, we'll have the latest on the hurricane, now tropical storm, that has caused so much devastation on coastal texas and now houston facing historic flooding. plus tensions rise after north korea's latest missile test. we'll have an exclusive report from pyongyang. is this a phone?

could be catastrophic flooding. >> one person has been killed by the floodwaters and the city's mayor is urging people stay home, stay off the roads. >> we said just a few days ago that this will be a very serious storm and we said this storm was going to last four or five days. and that is exactly correct. it's a serious storm, it will last four or five days. and quite frankly, this is day one. and the streets are treacherous. it makes absolutely no sense for anyone to be out on the road unless it's an emergency. >> let's get more on what the storm is actually doing. karen maginnis joining us for that. karen, you heard the mayor of houston there saying this is going to last four or five days. walk us through what we can expect in the next couple of hours going into sunday and then perhaps an outlook as well for a few days. >> yes. well, first of all asis standing here listening to all of this

and looking at this radar, i was floored by just how broad this rain shield is. extending all the way towards san antonio and austin, edging toward dallas, extending toward galveston into louisiana. a huge broad deep tropical moisture laden area. the ground is saturated. the more the rain comes in, and there will be plenty more associated with this, and the ground is saturated, the bayous are filling up, we have looked at some of these reports and we may even blow away by feet what some of these by by yours have do by by yours have done. but there is no play for tce fo water to go. there are currently three tornado warnings in effect

around houston, so it is the flooding, the tornadoes, wind damage, it is a desperate situation. we'll have another live report at the top of the hour. >> all right. thank you so much, karen. again, the storm made landfall friday night as a category 4 hurricane. it hit the city of rockport very hard. we have pictures that show some of the wreckage and what is left of that town now. >> and earlier i spoke to rockport resident chantal cleveland, her home was one of many that was destroyed when the hurricane made landfall there. fortunately she had followed recommendations and left her home at the time. she told me earlier what it was like when she drove back into town the next morning. >> i really didn't expect the storm to gets a large as it was. it was originally projected to be a depression. finally convinced my stubborn parents to evacuate to corpus christi. we came back into rockport this

morning at the crack of dawn. i didn't know what to expect. i know that i was as driving into rockport, the homes were becoming more and are more destroyed. finally i pulled into the driveway to see the roof of one of our homes gone. so we really couldn't get into the driveway because it was inundated with water. >> we see the water on the pictures. >> yeah, so i just ran into my home. i thought i was going to need the key to open the door and i didn't even need it because it was broken, there was sheet rock, insulation everywhere. when two fe about two feet of debris. our stuff was covered in. we didn't expect the storm to get this big, so we only packed a couple changes of clothes when we came to corpus christi. it quickly got stronger, a category 4. so you can see our homes, they

have been demolished. sadly we had tenants living in the other three. so they will have to come home to destroyed homes as well. completely gutted, you know. just debris upon debris. but we aren't the only ones that are experiencing this. our whole town, community is. >> what is the prospect for your house? it looks totally destroyed. >> yes. you know, i didn't really expect that to happen. we have the casual routine where i get home from work, rockport is a beautiful community, a lot of people visit it. we rely heavily on tourists. so i'm kind of sad to see what is to come. >> how long have you lived there? have you experienced any weather events similar to this? >> no. i've lived in rockport my whole life. so 24 years. and my parents have lived there since the '70s and they have

experienced hurricanes, and tropical depressions, but they have never left. they wanted to brave this one through and i'm so glad they didn't because as you can see in the pictures, there are just -- >> that clearly would have been very dangerous for anyone in that house. >> yeah, and it breaks my heart because a large percentage of my community stayed to brave it through. >> how about that, my goodness, she's so fortunate and her parents. as always, if you want to help victims, you can go to our website cnn.com/impact. the part where she said i talked my stubborn parents into leaving, they are thanking her now. >> and it's good that she did. you see what the house looked like. what if they had been inside the house. and so many houses were destroyed. when we come back, the latest on the north korean missile

tough talk from the u.s. does not appear to be stopping north korea. pyongyang fired three more missiles saturday as the u.s. and south korea conduct war games. initial reports said all three missiles failed, but the u.s. later said two went about 250 kilometers. >> the launches came just days after u.s. secretary of state rex tillerson said north korea had shown some restraint. he noted it hadn't engaged in any procevocative acts since a u.n. resolution calling for more sanctions. >> the u.s. and pyongyang had been trading threats for weeks.

>> and will ripley is the only western journalist inside north korea and he filed this report. all right on the s >> reporter: on the surface, it is a quiet sunday, but just beneath the surface, it's described to me as an extra ordinarily tense time, some of the highest levels of tension in years. and all starting several weeks ago with the exchange of fiery rhetoric between the united states and north korea. remember when president trump threatened to rain down fire and fury on this country and north korea responded by detailing a plan to launch missiles and have them fly over japan, came down dangerously close to the islands of guam, home to key u.s. military assets and more than 160,000 american citizens. we haven't seen that kind of military escalation on the peninsula and in fact it has only been rhetoric for the last several weeks until north korea simultaneously launched three short range bcallistic missiles with two traveling more than 250

miles landing in the waters off of japan. that short range would still put within striking distance u.s. military bases in south korea and all of metropolitan seoul theoretically, but these are just tests. and just like the special forces operation, another military exercise that happened here in north korea with kim jong-un overseeing the whole thing. no coincidence that north korea is demonstrating its military force as the u.s. and south korea prepare to enter week two of their regularly scheduled joint military exercises. they always infuriate the regime here in north korea. and in fact it's extraordinary that we are even being allowed to report from inside the country at this very tense time. it's never happened before. again, the north koreans saying while all is quiet on the surface, just beneath simmering he thinks its that cou s tha terngss that could boil over if there is any misstep on either side. will ripley, cnn, pyongyang, north korea. >> and will has absolutely

fantastic insights on life inside north korea which is extremely rare. for more on that and more of will's report, follow his twitter page@will ripley cnn. it is truly unique. you don't often get those shots. one of the most hyped fights in recent boxing history is finally over. this was the scene in las vegas, nevada. floyd mayweather beat ufc champion conor mcgregor by a technical knockout in the tenth round. he's new the first boxer to reach 50 professional wins in-you think defeated. >> mcglregor came out strong in the first few rounds as done redell reports. >> reporter: well, it wasn't a circus, it was proper fight. and it was a lot more entertaining than many people thought it was going to be. the headline is that the american floyd mayweather beat

ireland's ghoconor mcgregor wit technical knockout in the tenth round after such an extraordinary on buildup and hype, the fear was that this fight was going to fall flat on its face, that the uf xrchlt stufc star wouldn't be able to compete in any kind of meaningful way. but that was not the case at all. the irishman came out strong edging the early rounds, fighting in an unusual style, mi hitting mayweather from angles that the far more experienced boxer wasn't expecting. but in the end, mcgregor burned himself out. mayweather said his tactic was to see what mcgregor could bring to the table and after 25 minutes or so up his game. and by that point, in the end the ref stepped in to spare mcgregor further punishment. it remains to be seen what is next for the irishman.

he remain as champion in ufc. he has said tonight that he doesn't think that he will box again. what next for mayweather? well, remember he came out of retirement to fight tonight. he has now said he is retired for good having reached the magical number of 50 professional fights, 50 wins, zero defeats. that is a new record and he will go into the hall of fame as one of the all-time greats. it has been a fun week here in las vegas. it was a fantastic fight all things considered. and i think both sports of boxing and ufc will leave this arena with their respective heads held high. don riddell, cnn, las vegas. >> don's tie is a little loose there. he's done. >> fun week in las vegas he said. >> i'm sure. keep it in vegas, don. there was a news conference after the bout. here's what they said. >> i want to go out with a bang. told you it would be blood,

sweat and tears and he's a hell of a fighter. kind of shocked me. but after 21 years in the sport of boxing, you know, i've had some great fights, some boring fights, but at the end of the day, i will always be remembered as a winner. >> i always knew that i would show up and give a good account of myself. and i thought i put them out there. and i went to put him out and i believe the first couple shots hit him. i enjoyed the fight. it was a great contest. and a lot of stuff i'll take with me in my training. >> were you listening to that or were you -- >> i like the -- no, i was listening. i was listening. >> thought that was an interesting setup. did you have anything else to say? >> nope. >> all right. coming up here, hurricane harvey ripped across the texas coast.

part of the story that we haven't reported on yet this hour, major oil and gas refineries had to shut down. and that is already disrupting the global industry. we'll talk more about that coming up.
