10:00 pm
>> hurricane harvey is pounding ashore. good evening from fox headquarters in new york city. it's 1:00 a.m. on the east coast. the beginning of what will surely be one of the roughest nights in texas' recent history. the powerful eye made landfall hours ago as they category 4 storm. the first time in 13 years the nation has been hit by a storm of that magnitude and strength. harvey's strength hitting the area for hours. fox has live team coverage. we'll take you to the areas hardest hit within the hour but
10:01 pm
first an up-to-the-minute update and here's fox news meteorologist adam klotz. >> it's been a slow more the last several hours. hurricane harvey making its landfall and two hours from the time it hit. the eye of the storm, that ring is where you'll see the strongest winds. we've seen consistent winds around 130 miles an hour and gusting higher. they don't come to your house and pull you out so hopefully folks left that area. if not they're going through a long night. to the north of this and off to the east, this is an area where you're seeing strong winds pumping in the water. the surge will be another issue along the right side of this
10:02 pm
hurricane. that's where the surge will be piling up the most. what are we looking at for the storm surge? areas up to ten feet. i was looking at the website from the national weather service and we're seeing indications up to six to eight feet of storm surge. it can only climb higher in the next several hours as the storm system is stuck where it's at. when you see a category 4 hurricane, it begins to run onshore and then inland. it's been slowing down because to the north there's a large high pressure system that doesn't want to go anywhere and wins out. the hurricane will drift back to the coast and the winds will approach the san antonio area and move to corpus christi and ultimately not move a whole lot. here's our forecast models. the entire time it's bringing heavy, heavy rain.
10:03 pm
it's from tonight to saturday and sunday. we continue to move this into monday and tuesday. you see it falling back down to corpus christi and drifting back to the houston area. this is a slow more. through the entire time we're talking about heavy, heavy rainfall. maybe up to 35 inches easily. we have some forecast models saying 40, 45 and maybe 50 inches of rain. it doesn't want to seem to go anywhere here for next four or five days. >> hard to believe. it's going to be awful to watch what that storm will do to the texas coast and areas well inland as you point out. thank you. so if you've been falling our coverage into tonight and even yesterday afternoon you've seen steve harrigan back with us live from corpus christi.
10:04 pm
steve. >> it's been no let up in corpus christi. the rain and wind is still coming in sways with hefty gusts. about 300,000 people. about 70,000 now without electric power. we've seen the southern part of the storm come through with heavy gusts. we've seen traffic lights down and overall major trees and buildings still standing. that could a very different case on the other side of the storm. towns like rockport with frail infrastructure to start with. we're hearing reports of widespread structural damage there but it will take time to get there and assess things in the daylight hours. right now winds are really making it hard or impossible for
10:05 pm
first responders to go out and try to help people that avoided the evacuations, some mandatory, some voluntary. in the next 24 hours we'll like lie see a surge of rescue operations. some small towns only access able by one road and often covered by water. we'll see first responders deal with that. many people not heeding the warnings and many people decided not to evacuate and many without power. >> jon: you have to wonder what's going on in rockport now. the city of 10,000 to 11,000 people. as you say the storm snuck up on
10:06 pm
a lot of people. i'm sure rockport feels they've seen it before and survived it before and we'll hope they heeded the warnings and got out of town. steve harrigan, thank you. matt is standing by in palacios, texas. >> you see the bay behind us just becoming extremely violent. the water inching closer to the land by the hour and the waves starting to crash up against the grass area. the police chief told us they expect a lot of erosion and some of the storm surges that have been forecasted. this is a fishing town about 150 miles north of where steve is in corpus christi. in this county there was a mandatory evacuation. we just drove around some streets and not seeing a lot of people whatsoever except for some emergency officials.
10:07 pm
otherwise most the towns in the coastal area look like coast towns. perhaps people did heed the evacuations or hunkered down inside their homes. the last evacuation bus left this county at 1:30 today. the local mayor tells us anybody who is still here is facing the elements you see. we've been seeing a lot of flashes. what could potentially be power outages. there's downed power lines. we're told there could be power out for many days and that can spell for disaster or a dangerous situation for anybody who decided to stay here. there's a curfew in place. we're being greeted by law enforcement officials checking to see who we are. if anybody was walking around they'd be quickly approached by police or law enforcement official. in general if you were standing out here for an extended period of time it may not last too long. the wind and rain is pelting
10:08 pm
your face. dangerous situation. back to you. >> matt joining us from palacios, texas. join us by phone texas lieutenant governor, dan patrick. what kind much -- of reports are you getting in of damage? is it too early for that? >> it is too early. when i watch the reporters doing gret work on the scene, they're report from areas where you can get cameras in. the truth is where the 130, 140 miles-an-hour winds and gusts are hitting, you're not seeing cameras and reporters because it's not possible to uplink. the severe damage is now in rockport and inland of that. we will not discover that until the morning. jon, as your weather team has said all night as i've been following fox on the storm and the information we have as well, i want to put this in
10:09 pm
perspective. from houston to corpus christi is about 200 miles. we're about 140 or 150 to rockport. we're also 200 miles here to san antonio. what you're diagrams have been on the maps is that storm will go from rockport up to south of san antonio most likely. none of us are for sure. come all the way back down and all the way across to houston. now, that's how big that storm is, jon. in that area interest was a report by core logic that does analytics for property damage. there's over 230,000 homes in just the surge area. and hundreds of thousand of homes inland when you come closer to san antonio and the largest cities in the country. it's going to be an unprecedented disaster after we get to next wednesday or
10:10 pm
thursday and look back at all the flooding and all the damage. the state and local counties will work as soon as they can get to the areas. this is unlike any other hurricane we've seen in terms of it lingering like this. normally it moves on. >> talking about the town of rockport. i've looked at satellite imagery on the map. a cute little town but it's only six feet above sea level. if you get the storm surge at the eye of the hurricane, rockport can be entirely underwater. we don't know. >> we don't know. and unless they're areas like you had in your last report where there's police looking because of the curfew, but in other areas where they can't travel we don't want to send first responders or the guard in
10:11 pm
until daylight. the power is out for about 100,000 homes along the coast. i've lived in texas since 1979 and been through lots of storms around hurricanes and tropical depressions like alison, but nothing of this combination. this will be a storm of our life time, i'm sad to say. but texas, we're a big state. we will pull together and we will make it through this. this is when people are at their best and neighbors help neighbors and if they have a boat they'll help rescue people and our guard will do a great job of rescuing people and our first responders and county judge, our mayors pitch in and we're as prepared as anyone. we've been through a lot of these storms. but this is one that came upon us so quickly.
10:12 pm
it just exploded in its strength over 72 hours. we will be ready and get the job done. i will thank the president for stepping in already declaring this a disaster. governor abbott has been in the control center in austin for days. we're doing the very best we can. but we're going to have a long five days before the storm leaves. remember, jon, after all that happens, all the rivers that will be swollen. right now the waters can't run to the gulf because the water's pushing up. once the storm does leave, three, four, five, six days a week later you can have rivers flooding coming into the gulf creating more problems. this is going to be a significant clean-up operation. some people will be away from their homes for weeks and months probably. >> jon: and thousands of square miles of texas that could see up to three, four, feet of rain and
10:13 pm
it's hard to imagine where all the water's going to go. >> and we have a lot of flooding in houston nep problem is because we have a lot of concrete and growth that it doesn't have a lot of places to go unless it flows eventually to the gulf and bayou. and houston, though it's been spared so far of the winds and heavy rain, they'll get some overnight and some accumulation of five or six inches south of houston, but huston has the forecast right now correct. all the weather casters can't predict where this will go starting tomorrow. the thoughts are it goes to san antonio and makes a loop and goes over rockport again the second time and then up to west
10:14 pm
houston and houston's toughest days in terms of flooding, 15, 20, 25, maybe 30 feet of accumulation will be wednesday evening. we're sitting here friday night. we're talking about the big storm still coming to houston wednesday and all the areas it will drench in between. >> jon: we'll be talking about this one for a long time to come. lieutenant governor dan patrick. >> everybody pray for us texans and we'll pull through but we can use the prayers of everyone in the country. >> jon: joining us is the director of economic development at the port of galveston. how's it looking where you are, roger? >> we're getting squalls in every so often. there's a low right now so things are kind of quiet.
10:15 pm
>> jon: are you able to hear the wind or are you in a bunker or concrete building? >> no, i'm actually at home now. >> jon: your city undertook a gigantic storm prevention project and pumped sand under galveston and lifted the elevation 17 and 18 feet in place. it's got to feel pretty good right now to have the protection from the storm surge? >> absolutely. i was born and raised in galveston and i'm also a former mayor so i know how important the seawall is. it's protected us through numerous hurricanes.
10:16 pm
it's done its job. >> jon: have you heard of major damage in galveston yet tonight? >> none yet. i can here about some local restaurants but nothing major. >> jon: that's fantastic if you. i mentioned before, galveston was the site of the worst natural disaster in the hurricane of 1900 and we hope never to see that again. roger quiroga. thank you. hurricane harvey made landfall two hours ago. it's the strongest storm the country's seen since 2004. our live team coverage on fox news channel continues. stay with us. 2 my insurance company

10:21 pm
wondering about injuries. joining us is the red cross from houston, texas. the storm could be heading to houston in the next couple days but in the meantime what resources do you have for the coastal areas that are getting the worst of the beating tonight? >> the american red cross has been deploying people from around the country to come in and ask for trailers and supplies and cots and blankets. these items are going through the texas gulf coast especially in the corpus christi area. and we have food and shelter and there's a lot going on down here right now.
10:22 pm
>> jon: transportation will be a key part of the of getting help to people. it's great if you have the supplies but if you can't get them to where the people and supplies need to be, that's potentially the issue here. especially with all the flooding that's forecast. >> you know, actually, the american red cross has partnerships we work on throughout the year. we do have shelters either on stand by or open up and down the texas gulf coast especially in the areas being hard hit now. those shelters have been supplied over the past few days. we've been seeing this coming. the american red cross has been planning including all the volunteers coming in from around the country in time for these storms. >> jon: so if viewers feel they may be indeed of shelters or supplies, where can they find out the closest red cross shelter for their particular area? >> they can go to redcross.org.
10:23 pm
you can see the shelters all over the country but certainly in this case in texas. >> jon: maryjane mudd from the american red cross where supplies are positioned and ready to go. thank you. >> thank you very much. >> jon: let's check in with robert rocha the corpus christi fire chief at the emergency operation center there in corpus christi. we still have a live image on the left of your screen. chief rocha any other late-breaking reports of damage or problems in your city? >> we're still experiencing high winds but they've been knocked down since hurricane harvey made landfall as a category 4. we haven't sent crews out yet to do preliminary damage assessment. we'll do that at our earliest convenience. if the winds die down we'll send crews out to answer calls for
10:24 pm
service and do preliminary damage assessment reports. if not, we'll wait for daylight. if there's not too much rain, wind and danger we'll send our groups out to do damage assessments. >> jon: you mentioned in our earlier conversation that you sent some of your fire rescue teams out on a maternity call. was that a woman in labor? >> yes. we did have one call, a maternity call and we also responded to a structure fire earlier this evening. >> jon: did that maternity call turn out okay? was she in labor and get to the hospital? >> so far we've had a good outcome in corpus christi. we were lucky. we were on the frontline of this horrible storm. i think we've been able to salvage it so far. >> jon: i'm sure you've seen storms before but it doesn't look like anything matches this one in the history books. the way it sprung out of the
10:25 pm
gulf very quickly caught everybody by surprise. >> we did not have a lot of time to prepare. the good thing about our operation is we do drill, we practice every year and good over our plan and we were able to execute it without too much problems. >> jon: that sounds like a well prepared fire department. we appreciate you sticking with us. chief robert rocha from corpus christi fire. thank you. >> thank you, sir. >> jon: we're following every move hurricane harvey makes as it barrels through texas. the problem for texas is the storm is going to stop in its tracks and just continue to dump rain on the lone star state. feet and feet of rain. our live continuing coverage of this monumental storm continues right here in just a moment. stay with us.

>> jon: taking a live look at southeast texas. a category 4 storm as it came ashore hours ago. let's go to fox news meteorologist, adam klotz, and more on what it's forecast to do if here. >> we've been talking about where the eye of the hurricane has been rolling onto shore and further east it's a large system. what you're seeing stretching from where it made shore to houston and portions of louisiana, thunderstorms are rolling onshore. this is all under a tornado watch. the conditions are there and it's often the case on the right side of the hurricane where you see tornados firing up. we've seen some in the evening. not so much now but the potential is something we're looking for through the overnight hours. the eye is now completely
10:31 pm
onshore and still a nice defined eye. rockport has been the bull's-eye here. beginning to get on the back side of that which is good. maybe it gives them a break. they're still very close to those intense winds. 130 mile-an-hour winds gusting at times up to 160 miles-an-hour winds. bringing with it a whole lot of rain. here's what want to show you going forward. the reason we'll see so much rain the tropical model, often you see a storm run onshore and lift out of the area. this is the model taking you into sunday. this is our spaghetti plot and you see it running up to the san antonio area and turning around and turning back down to corpus christi. in some cases back over the gulf of mexico. this now takes you to monday. not a lot of movement in that
10:32 pm
time and i can take you to tuesday, wednesday. by the time you get to thursday it's a crap shoot but it doesn't move very far, very quickly. a high pressure system is blocking it in. it's trapped there and will have to spin itself out. in doing so it is going to accumulate a lot of impressive rainfall totals ap bouncing from corpus to san antonio to houston. we'll be talking about very impressive rainfall. and this is getting into a bull's-eye but the model showing 50, 55 inches of rain. i think it's safe to say in some areas up to 35 inches of rain. these numbers are almost unheard of but all because it has nowhere to go. after four and five days of rain like this will add up. >> jon: and the flooding will be severe. adam, thank you. we have chief of public
10:33 pm
affairs for the u.s. army corps of engineers in galveston, texas. he and his staff working through the night. he now joins us by phone. thanks for being with us. what is your big challenge tonight, randy? >> the big challenge is closing the gates and letting the water flow through the system. we can collect as much as water as possible. since 8:00 this evening, our crews closed the gates and now we're in the process of collecting water and preventing any flooding that may occur through the city of houston. >> jon: you have some canals and basins to help control the flooding as best you can. >> we have two reservoir systems
10:34 pm
located on the northwest side near the city of cypress. those two systems have performed well in the past. even though we're doing some upgrades on them right now with maintenance we have that in place. we've incorporated some dams during the construction period and they're certified and now part of the overall flood protection system. >> jon: nice to know it's worked well for you in the past. this system could be a storm like nobody's ever seen. when you hear he's rainfall totals they're talking about, 36 inches and up, are you prepared for that? >> we are prepared. the system is strong and robust. again, we always prepare for the worst situation.
10:35 pm
for example, we somewhere items stockpiled near the facility of the dam locations. we have sand bags and other structures that help with the structur structural integrity. we have crews that did the initial repairs and upgrades we had ongoing. we have them modified to use the crews and equipment and some of their facility resources such as stone and rock and other terms to help shore up any items that become degraded during this flood event. >> jon: let's hope you don't have to do a lot of that emergency repair work. randy cephus from the army corps of engineers. thank you. >> thank you. >> jon: you can see hurricane

10:40 pm
hurricane lands in texas. >> we found this a couple hours ago laying on the street. there's another sign next to it. shoreline boulevard by the water here in downtown corpus christi. i have to say it takes a lot it take one of these off. the wind gusts are pretty severe and they still are because the wind wants it take this out of my hand so i'm going set it down. it wants to fly away. there's still significant wind gusts. it seems they've tamped down a little bit. i still estimate they're in the 80, 90 mile-an-hour range and we saw them at 100 for a bit and they were severe. it certainly has cooled down a touch in the last 20, 30
10:41 pm
minutes. standing out here last time i was being pushed around pretty good. the rain is also not as significant as it was an hour or two ago. that's the good news for corpus christi, texas. for other parts to the north and east not so much. sorry, north and west. it's going to be a long night and continue on, as you said. this storm is still in category 4 stage. it may be moving in to a category 3 stage. i have to check in with the meteorologist. it continues to move northward and it continues to dump rain. from the wind side of the storm, hopefully it's dampened down. we heard reports there were serious damage in rockport, texas which is only 20 miles from here. the eye of the storm came onshore 25 miles from us. we still saw a pretty heavy storm hit.
10:42 pm
we're still -- that's a good gust here. that's really hard. we're still getting pounded pretty good. rockport had the high -- eye go over it. i never found my way into the eye of a storm. i thought i'd get in this one but we missed it. it's hard to hit dead on. with this we wanted to get it but we didn't think there was going to be a safe place to be, to be honest with you. when the storm came onshore there wasn't a good place to position as far as a coastal position and rockport and port lavaca are getting hit hard. i know it will be hard for emergency crews and police and fire to get to people that need their help. our best wishes and thoughts are with them. hopefully as the sun comes up the storm will continue to
10:43 pm
diminish in power in this area and voracity. we can begin to assess the damage of what the storm has done. i'm sure if this is any indication from what it was like to be 25 miles from the eye of the storm. it's been a very powerful storm that certainly had the potential to cause a lot of damage and the real story is going to be, as we've been talking about all night, is the flooding coming in the next coming days as this thing continues to sit and dump rain on south texas which is an area of the country which gets inundated with the summer and it's a hot, humid, rainy place in the summer. i can dump rain by the foot. i think i saw an estimate above one part of south texas can get 50 inches of rain which would be unimaginable. i cannot even fathom what that is going to look like.
10:44 pm
that much rain in the next four days. we'll see what the wind and rain and storm surge has done and wait three and four days to see how much rain harvey ends up dumping on this area. it will be a retired and named storm we'll remember for years on end. the toughest storm to hit the united states since 2005. that was the terrible summer we saw wilma, rita and katrina. we hope everybody fares well and we will see when the sun comes up and we're more mobile. >> jon: rob schmitt from corpus christi. thank you very much. so we're continuing to watch this massive storm as harvey slams texas. we have everything you need to know. keep it here. our live continuing coverage of hurricane harvey as it hits back in just a moment.

10:48 pm
>> jon: twelve minutes until midnight up texas. let's go to lauren harvey.
10:49 pm
in galveston, texas. what's the situation? >> it seems to be holding in galveston. we just have a lot of wind. we have a tornado holding at least until the top of the hour. we'll see if they reup the warning. we're also watching for storm surges. they're predicting between four to six feet. jon, we're not seeing that quite yet. along the seawall we're not seeing flooding and very choppy but it's not rising. it's in the coming up and over the seawall like many were predicting. cars still driving up and down this historical seawall boulevard. folks still out and about. at the hotel people walking around with drinks in hand.
10:50 pm
locals aren't as nervous as meteorologists say they should be. a lot of lightning. it started at every five and ten minutes and now it's every one or so minute and they're quite large. occasionally hearing booms of thunder to go with them. the rain has held off so we're not getting very wet up galveston. not like we're seeing down the coast in corpus christi or rockport. here in galveston skirting around the worst conditions from the storm. thankfully this town seems to be doing all right. no real damage we're seeing. perhaps some things blown over. at this point we're not seeing real damage. that's great for folks here but the thing about this storm we need to watch is it's just not
10:51 pm
going to be over in a couple hours as meteorologists are telling us. it will last well into the night and tomorrow and possibly going to the beginning of next week. with it it is bringing an amazing amount of rain though we're not seeing that in galveston right now. authorities are telling people don't get comfortable. this is not necessarily going to stay this way. we could see more of these walls of rain come in as we've been seeing here all day just a couple hours in between them to all of a sudden the rain will start pouring and coming down in sheets. we're waiting to see if that happens again. it has been a couple hours since we've seen any significant amount of rain. but we're watching the wind. the wind is the big thing here. it is picking up. it is blowing a lot of these trees around. a lot of signs around.
10:52 pm
the waves are quite choppy. they're not rising above the seawall. that's important for this town. if folks are still here especially on galveston island, authorities are telling them don't try to move tonight. stay where you are. the evacuation period is over. they have missed it. if you are here, hunker down. authorities say you are prepared to stay at latest a couple days because this thing is not going to be short. hopefully they're hunkered down. they do not try to go out in their cars though we've seen some folks out there. people here watching and seem to be okay at this point. everybody's going to be on high alert, jon. >> jon: it always talks a day or two before the real damage reports start coming in though as you say you seemed to have dodged a bullet in galveston with most the storm passing. lauren, thank you very much. let's check in again with meteorologist adam klotz at the
10:53 pm
fox extreme weather center. she was talking, adam, about the rain not being in galveston for just a bit. you have the pinwheel affect and rain bands. maybe you can talk about that for a moment. >> further out where she is you'll get bands and lines of showers. a heavy band can move through you're area and you'll get the break or lull before another band moves in. i still think they're in for more rain before the night's over. we have new information for hurricane harvey. throughout the night it's been a category 4 storm. that's changed to a category 3 storm. what's that mean for folks on the ground? the winds are now at 125 miles an hour. you can see consistently -- and this is a radar loop, it
10:54 pm
