clayton: good morning, we are on early, hurricane harvey ravaging in texas. bringing winds of up to 160 miles an hour. abby: strongest storm to hit the united states in more than a decade and could drop close to 50-inches of rain in parts of texas before this thing is all over. thousands of people have been evacuated. more than 200,000 are without power as they wake up this morning. >> check this out, video coming in showing destruction including a roof ripped right off a building in arkansas. path harvey expected to leave

behind $40 billion in damage. president trump has sign a disaster declaration in the state of texas. clayton: we have team coverage. the hurricane all over the coast this morning and matt with an update. matt, can you tell us at this hour? >> good morning, guys, we are in palacios texas, when we got here the water line was 5 to 10 feet beyond the shore and now you might be able to see that it is coming up and engulfing this path behind us and in the distance it's up into the gas area and storm surge anywhere between 10 and 20 feet in this town. a fishing town of about 5,000 people. it's throughout the night we have seen the power going on and off here. at certain points it was a complete blackout and we can assume that some of the emergency lights are using generators. in this town, in this county of

about 36,000 people, mandatory evacuation was issued midnight on friday and as of yesterday, the buses left at 1:00 o'clock and those who people who did not get on the buses, chose not to evacuate. law enforcement officials told us that people here are on their own. there's minimal emergency crews to help anybody. people who choose to stay here are dealing with the conditions that i'm in right now. steady wall, violent wind for hours now, the water extremely dangerous and there's a curfew in place until the sunrise, a lot of power outages, we spoke to the mayor nearby and that could spell disaster for anybody who chose to ride this thing out. back to us in new york. clayton: thank you very much. one of the biggest concerns this

hour, rick? >> still a cat 2 storm, hurricane force winds for at least another 18 hours and we have a five-day rain period ahead of us. it's going to take a long time for the tropical moisture to get out there. clayton: talk about the stalling issue. it's not going to move through, it's going to stay there. >> yeah, hurricanes need something to push in one direction or another. it's usually a high pressure in one spot or another spot. it's getting blocked and not letting it go any further. this year we have a new satellite, it's called go 16, launched last year, pictures every five minutes of the storm. we have never seen this kind of high resolution imagery and spectacular but now you see about 6 miles an hour, that means last night when it made landfall at around 11:00 o'clock right here in the seashore has

barely traveled. that's why you continue to see people get pumbeled with rain. because the storm is going to stay in the area for such a long time, that's going to continue to bring moisture along the seashore for days. the storm surge is not going to go away at all. here we are saturday morning, hurricane here west of port lavaca, going to tomorrow morning, barely budged, going towards monday morning, back to the south and back almost exactly where it made landfall, the center of it here, maybe spend time out here across water monday and tuesday, that could allow it to strengthen again and this is exactly where it came on shore and you go to dam on wednesday, maybe a second landfall, ton of moisture.

some indications is it might never move from here, meaning all of the moisture which fall into that spot. rainfall heatals continue to be extreme. when you see numbers like we have been seeing, you don't believe it at first. when you see numbers 40-inches of something, we've had now about four days where we have been seeing these kinds of models outputs, yesterday 53-inches, this morning, port lavaca, 58-inches of additional rain. this rainfall incred whether. go a little bit further towards the east and so you see places like houston that are far, 200 miles away, maybe 15 to 18-inches of rain. wide spreed flooding event. abby: the eye of the storm lingering in the coast for the next few days, that's what so frightening. you mentioned houston because they are bracing for extreme flooding as hurricane harvey roars through. >> that's where we find griff

jenkins, griff, how is it where you are? >> good morning, guys, don't be fooled that it's not crazy wind, not crazy rain because this city is bracing for a major, major catastrophic flood event, i want to show you where we are now. we are in the southwest part of houston and this is the southwest freeway. this underpass here is the beltway 8 intersections already having closures, the office of emergency management in houston, stay off the road for the next several days, what was behind us with several emergency crews, there's a sign you can't read now that says high water in the danger, they've got blooding just where the truck went by on the other side of retaining wall, we are staying here because we don't want to endanger ourselves, the water is gathering and it's not properly draining already, that's why the sign was there, the crews have moved into 5, 10 minutes ago to

another location, but this is the problem that happens in houston. the underpasses, floods in low areas and you have car accidents, the storm that everyone is comparing to is allison, that was not a hurricane, that was tropical storm allison in 2001, it cost $10 billion worth of damage and it concentrated on the houston metro area and it's going to be a similar as rick was talking about, a similar situation here, so they are bracing for a long several days going all the way to tuesday or wednesday, guys. abby: a loft rain. griff in houston. >> we want to get out to galveston, texas, sight of the greatest national disaster of american history in year 1900 on a cool sunday morning. no -- they know devastation in the city all too well, massive

hurricane, nobody was expecting blew through galveston, i'm sure they are preparing, how is the storm, casey? >> good morning to you, you took the words to say, this is a community all too familiar with weathering hurricanes and tropical events, thank goodness we are not reporting such a catastrophic event from galveston this morning as the one you were just referencing long ago, everything seems to be holding up here. the sea wall is just back in that direction, palm trees blowing, we came out here 15 minutes ago, not a drop rain was falling, now it's really coming down and sideways at times because you have the gusty winds as well but the sea wall back there is holding, in fact, the water is nowhere close to it because they were only expecting the storm surge in galveston to be about 2 to 4 feet.

the height of this event in some of the areas that are a little bit more lower line in that direction, they were expecting a potential 7, 6-foot storm surge but just as rick -- griff was talking about is issue is the flooding and i can attest that it was pouring rain for most of yesterday as well and this is something that is going to sit and it is going to sort of stall and just dump a tremendous amount of rain on this region that's already water logged, so although things are looking pretty okay now, we are in for the long haul about 25,000 people in this area without power according according to loy company, guys. >> thank you so much. so much of what we have currently in terms of weather forecasting, this precipitated

no punt intended by the galveston hurricane that killed so many. that was basically the eye-opener to americans, how, that we need to predict these things and unfortunately so many people lost their lives in the process. abby: what's hard about covering the story, right at the moment you can't get to where ground zero is. rock port, texas is where it is at the moment. rob scmitt on his way there, no cell phone service, we turned back around. that's where a nursing home had to be evacuated. people are going to jails to find some safety, i mean, there's not a lot of places to go to find cover. >> in these moments we think we rely on cell phones because that's all that's left in these moments and you hope that you have enough batteries, stock up on batteries in order to charge your phones and guess what, cell tower is now down, no communication coming out of rockport, 150, 160 miles an

hour, they are down. there's no communication, rob had to turn around and heading away from the region because it's too dangerous. abby: it's hard to get a real sense as to how much damage the hurricane has caused. we haven't really seen any of the photos yet. it's not the light of day. we will get that in the couple of hours, hard for politicians in local towns to really get out and help people and give us as sense as too what we are dealing with. todd: obviously the darkness is something that's preventing us from getting the clear views. this storm is not done by any stretch of the imagination, we heard rick explain, it's going to be there in the course of the next few days, we are not talking hours, the next few days. abby: as we have been mentioning, it is now a category 2, so how is the state of texas been addressing the situation on the ground? we are going live on the ground there as our team coverage of hurricane harvey continues right after this break

with and right now we are just waiting for the worst of it to kind of pass by so we can get in and help agencies that need it. clayton: nursing homes having to be evacuated, a prison, power outages, no cell phone service in areas that are hardest hit at this time. what are your main concerns? >> the main concerns are being able to get where we can help. we have prepared for this, we have our own communication systems, we have 160 high-profile vehicles which are better than normal vehicles, the high winds are going to make air operations a challenge, we have wing aircraft and helicopters as well so the biggest issue, we are prepared and training and we are just wait if for opportunity to go go in there.

abby: hurricane category 4 when we went to bed last night and now dropped to category 2, it's not going come in and leave, the eye of the storm is going to linger. some of them in the heart of the storm, many probably don't have access to this interview that we are having right now, what message do you have to them to stay safe? >> well, the main thing, you know, hunker down, stay indoors and listen to first responders, the emergency, first responders, local and state agencies, they are still the first line of help that's going to come and we are needed and we are available, we are going to be standing standie beside them. >> is it your sense that thus far the warnings were heated by the majority of the individuals or is this a situation where in previous storms people said, i'm going to be be fine and wait it out and then your lives are put in jeopardy because you need to

go and rescue individuals? >> i don't really have numbers of how many people stayed behind and how many people evacuated right now. in a situation like this, it's always very fluid, the information can -- is not always clear to the civilianses -- civilians, to be there and provide transportation, provide logistic support, whatever other kind of support they need. however, many people are still out there, whatever that number is, we are standing by ready to help them. >> as you know things come in multiple stages, winds, obviously high rain and then comes the flooding and then comes the infrastructure and hoping that the seawalls hold and levee walls hold.

>> we are prepared for this operation to last 7, 8, 9, 10 dais or longer, however long it takes. i don't think at this stage our primary concern is just when is it going to get clearing up and we can get in and do what we need to do. abby: absolutely. please stay safe out there. clayton: coming up on the show, thousands in the dark as hurricane harvey category 2 storm, how is the trump administration responding as the president faces first true national disaster test. live report on that next. plus, weekends during the classic, you can get up to a $100 instant rebate on select gear when you purchase with your bass pro shops mastercard. when i feel controlled by frequent, unpredictable abdominal pain or discomfort

friends", 4:20 right now in texas, in the heart of hurricane harvey making landfall overnight, thousands without power at this hour and the first real test for the trump administration for natural disaster, always an incredible moment for presidency to look and see how are they going to step up, what are they going to do to give power to the local governors, the power of the governors in this situation is paramount. abby: coordination between the president and the locals, as you said, governors, mayors, that coordination is so crucial in these moments that the president has already tweeted out about this leading up to the storm i spoke with abbott of texas and here to ayes is as needed, the storm turned hurricane is getting much bigger and more powerful than projected. federal government is on site ready to respond, be safe.

we all think back about hurricane katrina on how there wasn't enough warning, done in advance to help people prepare and potentially save many, many lives. we always go back to what happened there. clayton: and the presidential response to it. the moment that we all remember, the photo, you know, as difficult as it was, president george w. bush flying over with the famous photo looking down at the storm coverage, what's appropriate, how much do we need a president to be standing there visually, is it a distraction, but also the response from the federal government. to do to do politicizing in storms like this, often times natural disasters bring about a bipartisanship in the country. abby: it should. clayton: wouldn't that be nice. todd: we saw donald trump attack president obama last year for not going to a storm as chris

said on our air and i'm going to read, democrats will be as cynical about this hurricane as he was of that one, something to watch in the coming days, hours and potentially weeks, that said, right now, i think we are beyond politics, i think the focus right now is saving as many lives and preparing people for what could be, again, rick said it not just a day of horrible weather but potentially up to half a week, think about that, to be in that for that long. clayton: the president is not heading any time soon. rob scmitt was read to go rockport and cell towers down. abby: we have been trying to get in touch with rob but in that part of texas in rockport the ground zero where the eye of the storm is, there's zero cell service, you can't get in contact with anyone on the ground. they had to turn back around. they are on their way back to corpus christi, just to give you

a sense, we don't have a clear sense of what's going on in the area, there's no access and cell phone service. a nursing home has been evacuated. people going to jail to find any sort of shelter at this moment. >> as rick pointed out last night in smart note, one of the smartest meteorologist in the business said, look, we need to be aware of what's happening right now, we have no idea what's unfolding on the ground until daylight comes up, until we get some sunlight, 6:55 a.m. when we will have sunrise but this thing is going to hang out for the next five dais as rick was pointing out. it's hard to see how wide the devastation is. abby: the flooding that it could cause. you think about the city of houston, how many people live there and also the oil capital of the country. you think about all the plants

that had to completely shut down, that's going to take a long period of time to get back up and running so you think about the money that's gets lost but more importantly, people's safety at this very moment. we shouldn't be talking politics, we shouldn't be talking all the other things and the focus is where people are where they need to be. >> rick pointed out that 58-inches of rain, just think of the massiveness of what that means and just the to think this is an what -- area that deals wh rain well. we heard from janice that it's been saturated. there's really no where for the rain to go. even when houston is completely dry, there's no where really for the rain to go. i was down there meeting with some individuals and they said, see this part of the office where we are in, it got completely flooded out when it

-- we had 2-inches of rain. a lot more than 2. clayton: we have a lot more coming up here. while we can't get images at the moment because cell towers are down, image photos coming from the hurricane, including this picture, take a look at this a police officer saving the american flag, there it is. plus more coming up. the latest on harvey's path, stay with us "fox & friends" is on early this morning covering this massive storm ♪ ♪ what are, what are what are, ♪

behind $40 billion in damage but president trump has signed disaster declaration in the state of texas. clayton: team coverage. first to rob scmitt who was on his way to robport, texas, had to turn around, i think where we find rob right now, where are you, you manage today drive back a little bit so you can get back on the phone, what are you seeing? >> rob: hey, guys, we got close to rockport we couldn't all the way there basically because we saw indication that is we were going to hit a flood and that was just not something that we wanted to mess with, we saw the water line creeping on to the highway that we were on and when the water started coming across we are still going downport, sea level and the water is coming across the road and this is not a good idea specially in the middle of the night. specially pitch black dark, on the way back, the first thing we came across was the roof of a

valero gas station laying across the highway which was just an incredible site -- sight to see and a roof of a house as well and eye-opening, i wish we could show it, we certainly will be able to. at night it's just -- the danger is just is great and not worth the risk. we got pretty close and then also we ran out of cell service, we have no communication and so we are about 10 miles from corpus christi right now going back but this thing developed and we have been on tv since 8:00, 9:00 o'clock last night and the winds started cooking and gust 25 miles west of where the eye, 100 hour a mile win

gust, 25 miles that we took towards rockport, rockport was the dead center. that's where the eye really came across and even at this hour, now that the eye is a bit north of there, essential the hardest part of the storm is where with drove through. we were in a ford expedition and you felt like the car is going to be lifted off the ground, the wind was so strong. you know it's not but in your mind, it's not going to happen but you felt that vulnerable in the wind. it was just crazy and the rain is pounding the windshield. it's surreal experience. >> we see videos of roofs being ripped off houses. i can understand the fear of you feeling like your car is going to be lifted. abby: rob, people are watching, you can't see here but we are showing our audience footage of your windshield of you and sam, your awesome producer there driving trying to find some safe

space, you can see how hard the rain is coming against your car and how heavy the winds are. give us a sense about the land around you, does it seem like anyone was there, was it pretty -- did it seem like most of the people got out of the area for the most part? >> yeah, i think the close -- we got to the rural areas, rockport is a rural area, a town of 10,000, corpus christi was very empty. you know, it's really hard to say. we are driving and you see power clearly down, transformers pop overnight. this drive to rockport has been pretty much just us and one or two other what looks like emergency vehicles, a lot of huge metals on the streets, this is going to be a lot of damage and it's going to all come to us during the show over the next five hours as the sun comes up.

we will be checking back in for sure. abby: keep us posted. take care of yourself. >> what's so important is the fact that he hasn't seen so many people out there. we asked the emergency management officer earlier, haven't heard a lot of people out there. that's so crucial. hopefully we learned some lessons from previous storms. abby: let's go down to rick. where does this go next? >> just very slowly moves inland, a couple of things to point out, in the nighttime when you have landfall is not the time to try to move out, very brave and important, you want to see the pictures but unfortunately you don't know where those roads are washed off and that's what makes it so dangerous, a couple of things to point out, rockport has 10,000 people, by the way, it's not a really small town that a lot of people go to eye of the storm, tornado warnings in effect, you see the peak boxes, tornado warnings in far outer bands of

the storms, you often see tornadoes that pop up. they're not huge tornadoes but enough that can blow your roof off and cause significant damage. go up here to the wall, though, i want to show you what's going on in the radar picture, impressive storm which is bad news for people, but the center of the storm is now the eye of it, went over refugio, texas and getting close to victor air. wind still sustained at 110 miles an hour, any time you have a storm that begins to weaken a little bit, that's the good news, however, the place inland are getting a lot of the wind and rain right now. that's your satellite picture, victoria about to get it, that is going to be what the storm runs into and it bumps it back ultimately by around 24 hours from now. we bring it exactly right back, we talk about the hurricane cones, everybody in america i'm

sure is used to it by now, the cone is the big blob right there because there's no real indication of what's going to happen. i put the center of the line, you get the idea, category 2 storm, moves inland and moves right across the same area for the next 3 to 4 days an hopefully pulls off toward the north, that still remains to be seen, guys. clayton: in times right now all you have cell towers except when you're in rockport, cell phones are down. people posting on social media, let's walk over here to the social media center. police officer, he grabbed an officer saving an american flag out there in aransas and then twitter user posted picture of fallen highway sign down in texas, look at this, wholly

nothing happens, it's probably a week to get the refineries back up, if you get damage, you're talking 2, 3 weeks maybe more that's where gas prices start to stay high in immediate not just short-term. >> we are talking economic numbers, not loss of life which goes without saying is a bigger deal, walk us through economic. >> if this thing dumps rain quickly, if the rain comes quickly and can't drain out, the plants can be down for several weeks, we saw 40-cent a gallon increase ten years ago when we were talking about katrina, that's probably outside of the boundaries of what's likely but possible. we have seen that before. again, i would expect 5 to 15-cent, maybe 25 cents if this thing gets as bad as we are talking about. remember, we have labor day coming and labor day goes, demand drops, that'll put downward pressure. clayton: we saw the effects of

hurricane sandi, goods and services couldn't be believerred and so you have the shipping lane that is come through there. this isn't just about gas, this is about goods and services and food. >> it is. it's not just about machinery and infrastructure. it's about people being able to get to their jobs. if people are losing power, out of their home, people can't get back to work. if they can't get back to work, you can't ship, you can't process gasoline. there's ramifications there if people are stuck. abby: what's so tough about this, you can see on the map, the eye of the storm lingering across the coast. it's not a storm that will go in and out 24 hours, we are hearing that this could be there for the next four to five days. >> that's what's to dangerous about this, the constant rain, dumping, flooding, we don't know what kind of damage that can cause specially to refineries. that's the real issue here. big x factor, i hope they are able to drain the rain out and

cause minimal damage, the people there who are working on shutting these downs, they are heros and celebrate and pray that they can be effective in the days to come. >> thank you very much for your insight. we will be paying attention to this in the course of next few days and weeks. abby: millions of people will be picking up the pieces of hurricane that we have been talking about. how can you help? our hurricane harvey coverage continues right after this break this is a story about mail and packages. and it's also a story about people and while we make more e-commerce deliveries to homes than anyone else in the country, we never forget... that your business is our business the united states postal service. priority: you at the lexus golden uncoopportunity sales event before it ends. choose from the is turbo, es 350 or nx turbo

we help. abby: joining us now newly appointed chief the corporation for national and community service carl higby who got on the job a week ago. >> welcome to the job. abby: there's so much they want to do, how can they step up? >> one of the first things we say listen to local authorities, we honestly want you to sit back and wait for the storm to be over and go the nationalservice.gov. we have volunteers ready to go but we want to make sure that we wait till authorities think it's okay. clayton: in order to get citizens to help and volunteer, if people want to come out and volunteer, how can they take action in that regard? >> you go to nationalservice.gov, one of the things, civilian-volunteer action much like the national

guard. we go in there and we help and partner with fema, fema is incredibly organized and have this thing nailed down. we advise that you go to websites and the biggest thing is listen to national local authorities, do not jump in there, there's power lines down and who know ifs they're hot or what. todd: often times people that don't have time, they donate. >> that's the thing. we have senior corp. they are going down there along with fema. right now we have a list on our website, nationalservice.gov that you can go to and lists the places where you can donate. they will tell you how to best allocate your resources. clayton: vetting, we see sadly, it's a sad thing but we see
