and the next great idea could be yours. >> we begin with the fox news alert as the associated press is blaming tropical storm harvey for one death in the city of rockport. the storm a lamp unless night. it was a monster category four hurricane, the strongest to hit the u.s. in over a decade. the storm has flattened homes and buildings, more than 300,000 people without power. we await word from the coast guard. the captain will be in houston in the galveston area to give an update on the ground and the search and rescue efforts taken place. hello. welcome to another hour inside

the headquarters. >> eric: hello and thank you for staying with us. it's been a tough 24 hours for the folks in texas. we need a lot of prayers say the officials. harvey is the fiercest hurricane to strike the country in nearly a decade. it will continue to dump 20 inches of rain or more on parts of texas with three more feet expected. the storm seems likely to hover over the area for the next several days. the governor was warning the most catastrophic flooding could still be on its way. >> because of the flooding, one of the top points where concerned about his ongoing rescue and recovery. we want to do it we can to keep people out of rising water. part of that is by constant warnings to the public. >> eric: those warrin warnings,t

drive-through standing water. steve is on the ground, you brave the winds and rain overnight from harvey. hello. >> study ring continuing all day. you can see some of the destruction behind me. this is a town of 10000 that got hit hard by the category four hurricane, 130 mile-per-hour winds. the second for the roof of this apartment complex has disappeared. we seem people who lived here try to pick through the ruins trying to find what they can from their own properties. people pulled out clothing and even a pet before recovering what they can. despite the fact that the meye r said stay away. we have no utilities, no running water, no electricity or power. down power lines are all over the place. to make the 30-mile an hour

drive between here and corpus christi you have to weave in and out to get here, a lot of debris on the road. we've seen rescue operations route the day but very low-tech at this point. firefighters, first responders on foot with a little more than access and sina people inside are dead or a live. >> eric: it's heartbreaking to see the devastation behind you. did some people stay? did they seek shelter? what really doing overnight? >> when you look at some of the damage and rockport you get the sense of why there was a mandatory evacuation. anyone in these buildings would not have survived. as for's official casualty reports, we're getting one. that could rise as more search and rescue operations go. i think this mandatory evacuation was solid and worked out for the better of everybody. >> look at that woman, just

walking over by the ruins of her house. and that young guy trying to pull stuff out. it tugs at your heartstrings and is a vivid example and reminder of the devastation, even those those homes which are brick are completely fun. we know anything else about the circumstances over the fatality. the mayor was not given information. >> no, but you mention the conditions here. keep in mind that a cold rain is still falling in your stepping over boards with nails coming up. you're witnessing your home gone. we've seen people out since the early morning hours picking through. we saw a young boy recover a kitten. a woman with a garbage bag calling on as if to a family member. one fatality is very conservative at this point. we're likely to see the number rise is there able to reach and inspect these places.

she stepping over boards with nails, stepping over a power line walking through broken glass to find what she can. >> eric: when you see that devastation, it just gives you a complete stark reminder of the power of this hurricane. and the rain will continue, perhaps 3 feet over the next few days, electricity is out, gases out, what are these people to do? >> a lot of them have been making their way out of the scene trying to get out toward san antonio. that could be in trouble from the flooding. to get away safely from the storm will hover for 3 - 5 days you go more than 100 miles away. there have been buses and efforts from the government to get people out, it's a big commitment and a hard thing to do.

>> steve is in rockport, as we see the whole human toll and an example of what the storms do. it is not yet over, with massive flooding expected over the next few days. steve will stand by and rockport throughout the newscast. thank you. >> arhtel: as heartbreaking as those pictures look on television, in person is more devastating. we talk about flooding, flood prone houston is bracing for the worst as the traffic will tropical storm hovers of the city likely for the next several days raising concern of life threatening flooding. griff is live, you've been following the storm all day, where are you in the city right now and what is the latest? >> we are southwest of houston and as you have heard all day the primary concern is catastrophic flooding. here along the river in

richmond, texas they're very concerned this could turn into a devastating situation quickly. they have issued evacuation orders along the river. it's a voluntary evacuation. looking at 18 feet last memorial day it crested at 54 figure just be on the trees are low-lying homes. they had over 800 rescues in the forecast of what. >> actually i need to interrupt you. the coast guard is now updating the public on operations in galveston. let's listen in. >> out talk briefly about the priority. >> we assume everyone is out of harms way.

we want to ensure coast guard members and families and small books and cutters are safe, our cruise, coast guard members are out there everyday doing great work for this region and the nation. also it means that we work with our partners and industry members to prepare the port ahead of the hurricane or tropical storm to ensure the position to be able to withstand tropical for swing. and minimize any damage to the structures. be prepared to respond to support local communities as a storm approaches, we take our coast guard resources and small boats and we have removed a small boats out of the water and reposition them inland. then we'll come back and i'm be

able to reposition and have support from local communities. also on a national level we received support from our district office in new orleans, they have provided us additional resources and we have flood response teams that have come in from paducah, kentucky and memphis, tennessee. these are unique teams that have small boats able to respond in shallow water and urban rescue environments. they are here to support us as well. the coast guard has brought in helicopters from across the country and position them here to support not only search and rescue efforts here in this region but also in corpus christi as well. >> finally, be prepared to open up the port as soon as the storm

passes or permits. we work with our coordination team to being representatives from industry and the community to help us prioritize vessels the need to come into port. we will prioritize the vessels and allow them to get into port. we recognize the ports are critical of vital to the nation's economy. we want to get the port open for business as soon as possible. >> with that i will take questions. >> can you tell us about today there's been rescues in which the coast guard has been involved, how many people total have been rescued as a result, can you speak to the work that coast guard officers are doing in these turbulent winds? >> i am not able to speak to those efforts, that was done in corpus christi area responsibility, but we can work and get those details.

>> how many people are ready to respond as far as personnel? we have 850 active duty within the area i described earlier. we also have nearly 100 civilians. we bar into coast guard specialists split flood response teams from paducah and memphis tennessee. we can get you those numbers. currently we have four aircraft at ellington at the air station houston an additional flight crews to support flight operations. >> people know about houston and galveston that they have a lot of refineries along the coast, can you speak to flood preparations your offices having with those in are we concerned that this weather and system which will take a couple of days

might cause danger with leaks, spells, or any other hazards? >> prior to us in the gulf we work closely with our partners in industry. we monitor the track of the storm. upwards of 72 hours out we will start working to identify if the houston, galveston area is that risk of being impacted. at that time we start working with them to identify which ships are going to be departing and we start with conditions and making notifications they can plan. the facilities take preparations to ensure their cargo line and tanks are prepared for storms. then as the storm approaches we sent conditions which allows them to plan for example on wednesday, excuse me on thursday

we restricted deep draft vessel traffic to one-way outbound so the pilots were able to work with the industry so vessels could depart fourth. and on friday they close the ports. >> a confident that the refineries in the region around here is taken precautions necessary to prevent some sort of disaster? >> i know they are prepared and have hurricane contingency plans and they take steps to minimize those risks to the port and the environment. >> any update on progress of what is being done for the cruise ships? we are meeting daily, twice a day with the cruise ship operators as well as the city of

galveston and the galveston port authority to identify opportunities to get cruise ships in. i know cruise ships have made alternative arrangements. carnival has two vessels go to new orleans, i believe rcl has made alternative arrangements in case they are not able to call on port here. we are working closely to identify when we can get them import. >> any idea when that might happen? that a matter of days or a week? >> that's difficult work based on the weather. it depends on the storm track. >> keep in mind, the pilots that help navigate the vessels into port, they have safety conditions that they operate under as well in order to bring the cruise ships into port. >> can you speak about the

training your men and women go through to prepare for these types of conditions? >> they are training daily. that's what they do. they train daily, they practice and they are professionals. there are provided with the best equipment so they can execute these missions. >> or talk about cruise ships before, as far as container ships in the ships that are priority to come back, any other idea, they able to come back or when? >> the port is close now. there's a combination of factors that come into play. one is the wind conditions. the second are the c state offshore where the pilots to boarding. so if the winds died down we

will evaluated and open the port as soon as possible. we would hope early next week. we of the poor coordination team and they meet daily to talk about and identify and prioritize those vessels. when the storm was approaching we had 80 ships depart forward and we would expect over 100 ships will be waiting to return to this area. >> when i say the port was close, that includes houston, galveston of report as well. i believe pilots have suspended -- at the time. >> this is an area you cover? >> this is primarily on the upper shift channel. >> there is a report about a fisherman pulling off about you know anything about that? >> i do not. apparently the governor said something about it.

>> i do not have details yet. we can get you details on the. >> how is this preparation differing when you have a stalled system that is now becoming seen as flooding, how is that different from the past? >> for the houston galveston area we tried to take lessons learned. we've taken lessons learned and in this case it is not a direct impact with the hurricane. is significantly different from the -- >> does that change her strategy at all? >> no. our goal is to have all the commercial ships leave port that

they can. our goal is to get as many vessels in the ship as possible to leave and then have the port reopen as soon as possible. we work with the army corps of engineers, and others who are navigation restoration teams. soon as the weather's past they will go said the channels and that, coordinated with the pilots we will open the port up once the weather is conducive. >> if you might another question about refinery. in a storm like this with the wind and rain over several days, what is the biggest concern for refinery generally and what would be worst-case scenario, if this is unlike hurricane ike which has its own set of challenges, with worst-case scenario that they need to prepare for? >> is more of a rain event, the winds have not seen significant wins.

we don't have the search that we had for ike. so i say prepare more for the rainfall. >> in the next 2448 hours what you expect conditions to be liked here? >> we expect to see continued rainfall. >> arhtel: were listening to the captain with the coast guard commander. briefing the press on preparations moving forward as a storm approaches more rain on the way. they're planning to take small boats and position them in lynn as a storm passes they will reposition those boats to get to stranded residents. letting us know the flood rescue teams there are prepared and have gotten some response teams from kentucky and tennessee, specialty teams to help with search and rescue efforts.

letting us know there are four additional aircraft in the area on standby in arlington, texas. an additional flight crews to assist in the rescue and recovery efforts which is a major concern of the texas governor. the commander fielded questions for reporters regarding cruise ships meeting twice a day with cruiseship operations and galveston port authority to assist and redirect the cruise ships heading that way, pointing out that when conditions are a major concern. roughly 100 ships will be waiting to return to the houston, galveston port after harvey, and remnants of harvey pass. were not sure when that might be at this time. the captain said the coast guard and all involved learning from past hurricanes which is a very big point to make. some things that the texas governor raised earlier as his

main concern is getting water and ice, flood supplies of food supplies to the needed stranded residents. more on her cave harvey, our continuing coverage, after this break.

>> arhtel: a big concern isflooy will produce more rain in the coming days. griffith live in houston. you been live all day long. you see your on some overpass, what are conditions there and what's happening? >> without, were here standing over the river and officials you're worried about catastrophic flooding. we've heard the warnings all day. this river is about 18 feet, but last year it crested at 54 feet and cause devastating flooding. homes over 800 rescues. we spoke with a county judge who is also issuing a mandatory evacuation for the san bernard river. take a listen. >> the san bernard river which i do not give the detail, that river is going to go to 20 feet

above flood level, that is 5 feet higher than it has ever been in history. it is a threat to life. that's why it's mandatory evacuation. those folks need to leave. if they do not leave we are going to rest them and get them off of the property to safety. >> it is here where it's a voluntary evacuation, but that's because the devastation they saw last year memorial day for these homes, they're hoping people will get out. right now communities need to get ahead of any potential flooding. the flooding we saw in houston today officials trying to get ahead of it. it will come fast when it is a flash flooding. >> arhtel: flash flooding as fast as the name says. i know you are there monitoring the river now.

have you been in other parts of the city earlier today? have you seen any localized flooding? >> we did. we saw in downtown houston, we saw the keegan's by you. 2500 miles abayas running through the houston area. when it crested it shuts down streets, underpasses, and the danger is people get trapped in their cars and that's what causes deaths. in 2001 you had trouble storm allison, $10 billion worth of damage. similar conditions and models that could exceed that if it delivers in the next three days. what they're seen in those areas around the bayou in houston. >> arhtel: the warning is, turnaround, don't drown. we appreciate you being there for us. we will be talking to you within the next few hours. stay safe. thank you. >> eric: the national hurricane

center has issued a storm surge warning. that is 325 miles of the texas gulf coast. the agency says there was a danger of life threatening from rising water running inland. harvey remains a life-threatening danger. it is expected to dump up to 3 feet of having rain on southeastern texas. will cause flooding in the days to come. damage estimates of the tens of billions of dollars. power could be on some places for weeks. one of the residents affected is republican representative blake bearing hold. how are the conditions right now? >> corpus christi got off lightly. you just get across the harbor bridge in rockport, it is

devastation. all of the traffic signs, street signs are down, billboards are crumpled messes. mobile homes and rvs are tipped over. it is not a pretty sight, a ten minute drive from my home. >> so far, there's been one death confirmed in rockport. sadly that may likely arise. then the potential flooding now for the next few days. what are you warning your constituents? i can they deal with this? >> you have to follow the instructions of the local officials. if they tell you to evacuate, evacuate. you need to be there to help yourself and help your neighbor if you're still around. because the conditions are so bad a lot of the fema rescue folks are stuck which is about three hours from storm. >> to think fema has positioned the supplies and emergency

material sufficiently enough? are you pleased with their response and what you're hearing from the white house? >> i don't think they could have done anything more than they're doing. it's an unprecedented storm with the way it's hanging around. i've spoken on the phone with the vice president who has pledged the support of the government to help us get through this. indicated that president trump himself will be coming down as soon as weather conditions permit. >> he has been having meetings and have the shed any light on the. >> he said he is the president trump will make available what is necessary. what is hampering us now is the weather. right now corpus christi it is not raining when the wind is calm. about 20 minutes ago it was pouring down rain and gusty

winds. there is still dance from the storm that are hampering repairs. it is going to start getting tough as soon as the clouds burn off. rather than having the high 70s and low 80-degree weather, go into and 90-degree weather with no air conditioning. tempers will run short. >> that will be difficult. what was it like for you? you were born and raised in corpus christi. overnight your family constituents and loved ones and all the folks that you live wi with. >> i've spent most of the morning going to my friend's houses who did evacuate making sure everything is okay. in corpus christi was mainly down trees and fences. again, he sought moving up the coast a little bit and it is a lot worst.

>> we think you, our thoughts and prayers are with you and your constituents in the folks impacted by this. we're thinking of you and watching. we are with you. >> thank you. >> will be back with continuing coverage. stay with us blueberries and pumpkin. wow. and spinach! that was my favorite bite so far.

the circulation is in this area north of victoria running closer to columbus. this is about as far north as it will go. it's not just about the rain but that's a major story. it's always where the weather is worse, it's a tornado watch going through the lake charles area. were seeing bands of potentially severe weather. and with that occasionally an isolated tornado sell. were seen one north of houston. they been popping up occasionally today and will continue to do so. the usually fizzle out but you briefly get severe weather. that threat will be in place all the way today and the overnight hours as we continue to see the system spin. it has nowhere to go. were looking at moving inland for now. the forecast shows by monday beginning to move back toward the coast, little movement so everyone continues to get the rain. it just falls and falls.

the new get impressive numbers. were talking about numbers running into the 30 range and further to the north as you go to galveston or houston area for talking about big numbers. perhaps the 15 - 20 inches. the city that notoriously floats. even though they have not seen that area yet were talking tuesday or wednesday. more rain is on the way. >> it's astounding that it will just sit there. >> thank you. >> tropical storm harvey is blamed for one death in southeast texas after slamming the shore as a category four hurricane. it is expected to keep pounding the region with strong wind and heavy rain for the next several days. crews are assessing the damage

and they will have their hands full. joining me now by phone is judge, mark henry who is director of emergency management. when was the last time you are on the phone, when was last time you're out making the rounds and what were you able to assess? >> i was about an hour ago. everything at the moment is calm but as i heard you talking about we are very concerned about potential for record-breaking rainfall coming in the next 72 hours. >> as you know the texas governor gregg abbott informed the media of a comprehensive plan. the plan before, during, and after the start. can you tell us about your interaction with his team? >> we have members of the detectives department of emergency management and the governor's team in the building.

we are among the first to be hit and very much involved with the state and federal partners. it's a great relationship that we defend on. we couldn't do without their support. >> arhtel: that is very good to hear. we have you here, the county judge but also director of the emergency management so i ask you, did most of the residents heat evacuation orders? have you seen stubborn folks in town is for as you are aware? >> we only know how many evacuated to the shelter we provided with the red cross. that was somewhere between 20 and 40. our concern was on a peninsula which is separated. he could have become impassable. the ferry service to get shut down the highlight 87 did not get shut down as we feared it would. without a break there there is no cutoff of transportation to

and from. >> so it's too late to evacuate and of course the coast guard another responders cannot get to them. >> they probably could, but we did not see any significant threat to safety and that's our number one area of priority. if we they were there they might be without power for a day or two. unless there are medical needs person there will be okay. voluntary evacuation was those with electricity. several dozen left at least. >> arthel: that is good. we hope everyone is say. we are about three hours and some change, ten minutes till sunset. what's your biggest concern come nightfall? >> one is that people think we're out of the woods we are not. people think it's not raining at the moment so they guess the storm is passed.

that is the opposite of what were hearing for the national weather service. the storm is not moving much but the rain band for us will continue for up to 72 hours and could bring another 15 or 20 inches of rain. >> arthel: judge mark henry, thank you for joining us. stay safe. thank you very much. speaking to us as the director of emergency management. thank you very much. >> eric: as you heard, helping those trapped by massive flooding is a top concern. so far it has dumped about 2 feet of rain on some parts and as you we have been reporting, a lot more sadly is on the way. we will bring you all of the latest in the coming hours as our continuing coverage of harvey continues here on the fox news channel. and diarrhea. i tried lifestyle changes and over-the-counter treatments, but my symptoms keep coming back. it turns out i have irritable bowel syndrome with diarrhea,

or ibs-d. a condition that's really frustrating. that's why i talked to my doctor about viberzi... ...a different way to treat ibs-d. viberzi is a prescription medication you take every day that helps proactively manage both abdominal pain and diarrhea at the same time. so i can stay ahead of my symptoms. viberzi can cause new or worsening abdominal pain. do not take viberzi if you have no gallbladder, have pancreas or severe liver problems, problems with alcohol abuse, long-lasting or severe constipation, or a bowel or gallbladder blockage. pancreatitis may occur and can lead to hospitalization and death. if you are taking viberzi, you should not take medicines that cause constipation. the most common side effects of viberzi include constipation, nausea, and abdominal pain. stay ahead of ibs-d with viberzi.

>> eric: nearly 3000 servicememe on the ground assisting local

first responders after harvey slammed into the states coast. the strongest hurricane to strike texas and scarlet 1961. that left 46 people dead. a lot has been learned about preparation and evacuation since then. for more on emergency response were joined by judge matt with texas emergency management. thank you for joining us. your county is on the coast in your bracing for catastrophic flooding especially along the san bernard rivers. the resident still there? what you telling them? judge, are you there? we are trying to see if were can get judge matt on the phone. we'll give him another few seconds or two. is emergency management official for an area that includes surfside beach. a lot of the chemical plants are

on that stretch. there three or 5000 people who live along those rivers. they expect us to potentially crest at record high levels over the next coming days, with at least 3 feet of rain. that's expected to be dumped by wednesday. we will try to bring the judge back. certainly they have been busy and a lot going on. >> arthel: has the country watched a category four hurricane harvey slam into texas, president trump made a controversial pardon. the move is trying criticism from both sides of the political spectrum. a live report on that, coming up next. order in store or online. i'start at the new carfax.comar. show me minivans with no reported accidents. boom.

>> hurricane harvey hit texas last night and present trump granted his first pardon to joe arpaio, he had been detained for detaining latino drivers because he thought they were here illegally. will has more the story. >> it's important to keep in

mind this pardon was announced a short time before hurricane harvey made landfall. likely not a coincidence, but not exactly a surprise either. last week, president trump held a rally in phoenix where he hinted he might hand the sheriff a get out of jail free card. >> was sheriff joe convicted for doing his job? i will make a prediction. i think he is going to be just fine. >> arthel: has been a trump supporter from the beginning. he was convicted last month of criminal contempt for defying a court order and could have faced up to six months behind bars. president trump announced on twitter i'm pleased to announce you that i have just granted a full pardon to 85-year-old joe arpaio. he kept arizona say. joe arpaio responded by saying thank you for see my conviction of what it is, political witchhunt by obama holdovers. chuck schumer tweeted, the only reason to do this right now, is to use the cover of hurricane harvey to avoid scrutiny.

both senators from arizona and jeff flake critical of the decision. joe arpaio has called himself america's toughest sheriff with intensity at the jail and inmates wearing pink underwear. he helped fuel the unfounded birth allegations against president obama. that resonated with trump at the time. in case you're curious, this is the earliest a president has pardoned someone since george hw bush part nine people in 1989. >> arthel: thank you. >> eric: other news going on besides harvey. will have the latest on that in a second. meanwhile, civilians have been fleeing the city of northern iraq. government officials have continued to push into one of the last of isis stronghold. iraq you troops have said they are taking control of 90% of the city. certainly there is progress

against the fight of isis there. meanwhile, radical terrorist attack in london. two police officers were hurt after they arrested a man outside a buckingham palace. he was holding us were and shouting. he is now being investigated there under the british terrorism act. hundreds of thousands of people attended a march in barcelona, spain. their slogan, i am not afraid. this after the islamic terrorist cell there attacked barcelona and a tourist town. that attack killed 15 people and injured more than 120. >> arthel: will have more and hurricane harvey on fox news sunday tomorrow when chris wallace will be joined by texas governor, gregg abbott. secretary of state, rex tillerson will be there to speak

about the new u.s. military plan. check your local listings for the times. >> eric: in texas, the rain has stopped in some places. that will pick up again as the enormous threat of flooding over the next few days. a massive, life-threatening catastrophic flooding from the rain that is just going to sit there. meanwhile, search and rescue operations are underway. harvey continues to dump rain on parts of the region. the latest on the progress and what officials are doing and the potential death toll as we continue here. stay with us for continuing coverage of harvey businesses count on communication, and communication counts on centurylink.

>> eric: this is a fox newsaler. harvey is now being blamed for its first off tonight. one person was killed, no public information on who that is are the circumstances. at least one dozen other people have been injured. all that in the area of rockpo rockport, texas which is where the storm slammed a short. now with harvey losing much of its punch, new fears that the worst is yet to come. harvey is a slow-moving storm that will sit there for the next few days, still slamming texas with torrential rain measured in feet. as much as 3 feet is forecast of

heavy rain expected in the region in the next few days. forecasters say the storm lingering over that state is raising predictions of what is being called life-threatening, catastrophic flooding. hello and welcome back. this is a new hour of america's news headquarters. >> arthel: the most powerful storm to hit the u.s. mainland and more than a decade made landfall leslie. as a category four hurricane with winds of 130 miles per hour. dozens of counties declared disaster areas. the texas governor is urging people to stay safe. >> still, the most important thing that all texans can do is to put your life and the protection of your life first and foremost. >> harvey is expected to continue pounding with heavy rain through the middle of next

week. more on the devastating forecast, adam is live in the fox extreme weather center. there's still danger that lies ahead, right? >> yes, for the next several days. there's a lot going on with this one. it's a tropical storm now. winds of 65 miles per hour. right now it is stationary, anyone in those rain bands, it's not moving quickly at all. so, were talking about rain beginning to pile up in some of the locations. currently past the victoria area and close to columbus. most rain off to the right side of the storm. that's where were looking at possibly some severe weather. large areas under tornado watches. they're running over to portions of western louisiana. we have seen some tornado warning. we have one for metro houston currently. those run themselves out maybe more quickly than a spring

tornado outbreak. nonetheless, we'll talk about a chance of seeing some severe weather fire up now until the overnight hours. as long as we are on the right side of the storm there's that potential. that's what were looking at through tonight running you through the coast with galveston and houston are areas we will pay attention to. in the next couple of days is not about the severe weather, it's about the rain. that will be the big story into early next week. this is the forecast model taken you from saturday into sunday. this is the center of the tropical storm. the rain mostly in the right side of it. you continue to move through sunday and monday, eventually into tuesday. the storm is not moving anywhe anywhere. the longer it sits there, it is close to the gulf of mexico, it lives the moisture and sure and we just get rain. i've heard folks in houston say we have dodged a bullet.

that is not the case you. still rain on the way. here's what were looking at the forecasted totals. mid- 30s not quite to corpus christi but in that direction. then going along that coast to the north. the historical he floods in our model indicates 15 - 20 inches. you don't have to go too far to the south to see the models in the middle 30s. rain definitely of the rain and folks are not out of the woods yet. >> arthel: rain there is a big deal. thank you very much. >> eric: one death reported and confirmed so far in rockport, texas. no other information on that at the moment. that's where steve has been reporting. he is there with some heartbreaking devastation as people return to their homes and try to pick up what is left. >> eric, the destruction is so bad in many cases you can look right into people's homes. this apartment complex if you

look at the second floor i can see little radio flyer wagon that belonged to a toddler was hopefully safe and sound someplace else. a bathtub next to that. down below some women's close hanging and blowing in the breeze. the second floor of this complex is gone and much of this complex entirely. when you look around at the bricks you can imagine what a terrifying night this was and how powerful that when was to cause the damage. you think back to the mandatory evacuation that was put in place by the mayor. he pu took some slack for the comments. he said if you don't even vacuum you should take a sharpie and write your name and social security number on your body. people will be pulling you out of here. that's what could happen if these people stay. one fatality so far, that number could rise as search and operation continue. at least 1000 personnel are working on the operations.

because of the conditions, heavy wind and down power lines. you can see a power line here i want to front of me here. it's tough going for the cruise to get around the state at this point. we saw some low-tech operations, a sickly firefighters with taxes knocking on doors to see people were dead or a live. without electric power it's tough going for the people who are beginning to recover here. now back to. >> eric: what you see there is a vivid reminder of how powerful the storms can be and why it's important to evacuate. have you talked to anybody there #what are they saying when they try to come back any updates on search and rescue? >> a lot of them initially are sad when they talk about things especially business owners. they said i'm 65 years old, no insurance, then i think about it more as i am glad i'm a live.

one thing where gary now is the smoke alarms just beeping. of course as he said that's better than hearing the cell phones that could be going off of people were dead. they listen to the mandatory evacuation orders, so were hearing the fire alarms, not the cell phones. >> eric: and you can hear that go off. his property, it's not human lives. hopefully those people are safe as we continue the coverage tonight. thank you. >> arthel: hurricane harvey hitting the nation's fourth largest city, houston with its 2 million residents it has a tough history with flooding. some drivers struggling to drive through the heavy floodwaters, despite warnings from authorities not to do that same thing. the flooding will become a larger threat over the next few days.

griff is live in richmond, texas, in a suburb there turn around, don't drowned is the same there. not everybody takes he. >> that's right. when we hear officials talk about catastrophic, life-threatening flooding, this is what they're worried about. look here, the river that we showed you in the last hour is just over the crest. look how low-lying this is. if they get the predicted national weather service crest a 55 feet, an unprecedented amount of water it will devastate these homes. how do they know that? it happened last year memorial day. 800 plus homes devastated. what officials want to do is get people paying attention and get motivated to get out of town. it will happen quickly. we see a gentleman barbecuing in we spoke with the county judge,

this is exactly what he says he's worried about. >> what were worried about is the weather bureau has forecast the weather bureau to kristin 55.1 feet at u.s. 98. that would be half a foot above the crust we had on the river memorial day of 2016. at that time, we did over 800 rescues, we had over 1500 homes damage. we had 3 - 5000 people displac displaced. >> so, this is simply a small puddle here. when that turns into several feet in the next 24 or 48 hours is a concern that's not just here, it is all across houston. officials in houston and authorities are saying anyplace in houston is at risk of this flooding.

we saw cars getting stuck in floods all day, turn around, don't drowned, because once it's on you it's tough to get out of. >> arthel: many times too late. thank you. >> eric: last night as the nation brace for then, hurricane harvey all the attention and news and live coverage on that storm it really was on the house to see their but president trump make good on a promise. on the left he pardoned arizona sheriff, joe arpaio. he was convicted of criminal contempt in 2011 for to find a court order on racial profiling. he faced up to six months in jail. then, the fate of the man of the right. another stunning exit from the white house by the assistant to the president, sebastian gorka who is being known as a strong critic of radical islamic terrorism.

were live at the white house with more those developments. taken separately they would've been front page massive stories last night, they got lost a bit in the coverage of harvey. >> so true. and perhaps the reason why the president waited until late yesterday to announce via his preferred means of communication, tweeting that he has tweeted sheriff joe arpaio. he said in that tweet, i am pleased to inform you that i have just granted a full pardon to 85-year-old american patriot sheriff, joe arpaio. he kept arizona state. as you can imagine, immigration hardliners rejoice, joe arpaio tweeted back, think that real donald trump for see my conviction what it is, political witchhunt by holdovers in the obama justice department. opponents of the president's tough immigration policy are outraged over this party. dan wrote in the washington post cloak, imparting joe arpaio the

president has linked himself to the most extreme elements of the immigration debate in an already volatile situation. also leslie, another advisor tendered his resignation at the white house, sebastian gorka, a familiar face to fox news viewers. hardliner on islamic terrorism. some say he was fired but in that resignation letter he wrote that people that reject the make america great again agenda are ascended at the white house. he cited the president's speech cloak, the fact that those who drafted and approved the speech removed any mention of radical islam prove that a crucial element of your presidential campaign has been lost. gorka of course was a close alley of steve bannon who also has gone back to publishing and bright bark. >> and reports that mr. booker micah back to breitbart. meanwhile will have more a little later on in the newscast.

back to hurricane harvey, the president was at camp david dealing with the federal response. >> the latest were hearing from can't david is the president videoconference with his cabinet at 11:00 a.m. we might have pictures, they just sent them down from the white house. the president at camp david talking to his cabinet via conference. they said president trump emphasized his expectations that all departments and agencies stay fully engaged a position to support his number one priority of saving lives. he reminded his teams at the full impact will occur the next couple days with heavy rains and flooding. the white house is signaling that he may visit the texas coast region perhaps next week. the timing is uncertain. he promised to make a series of visits to missouri and other places to tout his tax reform.

the white house has to balance the good optics of a visit to texas with the downside. >> it's a balancing act, because the president travels with a huge bubble and that bubble shuts down everything. it shuts down airspace, travel, et cetera. >> with as many as five more days of heavy rainfall expected, that may in itself postpone any presidential visit. >> you don't want to get it in the way of emergency response and rescue. >> eric: doug, thank you. >> arthel: we continue the coverage of hurricane harvey a search and rescue operations are underway across southeastern texas. we will assess some storm damage is officials continue to warn residents about life-threatening flooding. ! let me guess your weight! win a prize! sure, why not.

>> eric: galveston texas is like galveston island on the goal. it has avoided major structural damage. there has been some as you can see, harvey made landfall as a category four hurricane last night. it is expected to get pounded with heavy rain over the next several days. casey steagall is an galveston

and has more details. >> a very different scene in galveston, compared to where my colleague steve carrigan is about 200 miles to the south of where we are. that is where the storm made landfall. meaning the strongest winds and storm surge, a lot of structural damage there, here in galveston, folks woke up to heavy winds and rain. but we have driven the island there's not much structural damage thankfully to speak of. think of it as a one-two punch. that's how some emergency management officials have called it. the first punch is in the corpus christi area where the storm came ashore. that's the primary damage area at this point. punch number two is coming where we are further points north into the metropolitan area of houston.

homes to millions of people in one of the largest cities in the country because of the relentless rains. it could dump upwards of 3 feet of precipitation in isolated areas. not to mention, the threat of tornadoes. look at the video coming in from katy, texas, a suburb of houston. a tornado rips through their according to officials on the ground, doing damage to homes and businesses. luckily no fatalities or injuries to report. but, from a perspective, galveston where we are has been under a tornado watch and warning on and off throughout the last two days. currently galveston is under a tornado watch until 2:00 a.m. local time.

part of a startling statistic according to the national weather system, south texas has had 67 tornado warnings issued since yesterday morning. officials say people are not out of the woods yet. >> you need to be prepared or you might not get warning. the tornadoes are moving 50 - 5. >> we are starting to see water levels rising on the lower roads. that is the primary concern. not so much from a storm surge to speak of like we typically do have hurricanes. instead it is the massive rainfall. harvey is unique in the sense that over the region for the next several days dropping up to 3 feet of rain in some places. it is not going to take long for an already waterlogged region to

flood with additional rainfall. in fact, there is flood washes and warnings in effect through tuesday. this is not over. folks in galveston woke up to know widespread structural damage like we could typically see with the hurricane, unfortunately officials on the ground say the worst could be a to come. >> certainly flooding could be catastrophic through wednesday. >> were reaction to the devastation. we have a district three representative for galveston. frank, i'm told i can tell you frank, please confirm that for me. >> yes, that's fine. >> arthel: we just had a report from casey steagall letting us know that forecasters are saying

anywhere from 15 - 30 inches of rain are yet to come. how are you preparing, is it too late to evacuate and wait out the storm? >> i don't think it's necessary. is something we deal with on the gulf coast. we have experience dealing with weather events like this, to answer your question, at the turn-of-the-century we built a seawall. i think were prepared for it i think there's nothing we can do about it but ride it out. >> arthel: let's talk about the current conditions. is it drizzling at this point can you give us an idea of how much galveston is flooded. >> i took a ride and i look like

there is some flooding downtown low-lying neighborhoods. all in all it's pretty good. there was drainage and as long as the rain comes in waves it gives it time to drain out and we are ready for the next. >> arthel: good luck with that. let's hope that continues. earlier this afternoon i hear the assessment was there's 338,000 customers without power in texas. how much of that is impacting galveston? >> a lot on the west end of the island. i think the last report i got was 5000 people without power on the island. that is a shame. >> arthel: did you say 5000 people without power? >> yes, ma'am.

>> arthel: the governor briefed earlier on his statewide plan. has that been helpful to you? >> i think it prepares us to be ready for anything. i appreciate the order and he creates a situation that were ready for anything they may throw at us. >> it and the president signed a declaration for disaster yesterday. has happened helpful? >> yes. like i said, it gives us an opportunity to prepare that might come our way. >> arthel: i love your confidence and preparedness. as you look towards the next 46 to 38 hours is there anything weighing heavy on your mind? >> the downtown flooding, there are a lot of businesses

downtown, my thoughts go to those and i think we can weather the storm if i may, but to be honest, we've dealt with this before we know what were doing. we have a great special team that is keeping the drains clean were draining good. i don't for see any problems. we are expecting more of the same. so i want to let the residents know that be prepared for more rain and more flooding. but it's straining like it should. i think will be okay. >> let's hope that remains the king's. it was nice to talk to. he sounds like a gentleman the next time i go to texas i'd like to have some texas barbecue with. >> will come on, we'll get down on leon in galveston.

>> arthel: thank you very much. >> eric: let's look at a live picture in houston. there's been a tornado damage in harris county. they had been warning many tornado warnings of this is just one of the remnants of the weather that will get from harvey over the next few days. been talking about the landfall of the eye of the hurricane. now you have a tropical storm. now you have up to 3 feet of heavy still to come over the next three days. with that comes the possibility and probability of tornadoes. this local home in texas in harris county, one of the dangers and threats of the horrible stuff the folks are now going through. we are covering in trying to keep you up-to-date what is going on. we shall continue to do that throughout the next hour and

throughout the evening at the fox news channel. one death has been reported, that in rockport and search and rescue teams are continuing in that area as you see damage from harvey. the rest of the day's news continues on the saturday evening. to get back to doing what you love. ensure, always be you.

>> eric: tropical storm harvey leaves a trail of destruction in texas. many will be watching as president trump handles the first national disaster of his presidency. the response to hurricane katrina from george w. bush in 2005 -- here's the very latest on the federal government's response. care, what has that response been so far? >> state officials in texas say they have received everything they've asked for for the

federal government. the top priority is preserving lives. fema and the coast guard is assisting local first responders and search and rescue mission in providing medical care for those who are injured. the bulk of the federal response will come in the days, months, weeks ahead. last night at the request of the governor president trump signed a major disaster declaration saying it will unleash the full force of aid to coastal counties. low-cost loans to cover the uninsured property covers and others to help people and businesses recover. today that governor said the engagement so far has been key to their response. >> terrific cooperation from the white house from the president on down. the state of texas as a team has responded to the swiftly, very strongly, doing everything we

can to protect all human life in the state of texas. >> the white house says the president is planning a visit texas next week and there could be additional declarations in the days ahead. >> while the safety of those is the number one priority, there are political implications for the administration in dealing with this disaster. >> absolutely. national disasters can be a defining moment for elected leaders. that's been true ever since hurricane katrina, president george w. bush took a lot of the blame for the sluggish response by state and federal agencies. as a result, his struggling approval ratings hit record lows. hurricane harvey is the first real test for the trump administration. folks are watching closely, including senator truck grassley who won the president via twitter on friday saint keep on top of hurricane harvey, to make this a mistake was made with katrina. president trump responded got

year message loud and clear. so far so good. >> eric: there are those who said the local response back there to katrina not to the white house. we'll see how this goes. >> arthel: thousands of people are taking social media to share images of the devastation. with a storm knocking out power to hundreds of thousands, and harvey expected to keep pounding the area for days, something have to wonder how long can people keep sharing those images. brian is live from the new york city newsroom. loved ones from afar may pay attention. >> facebook has an emergency page, we should really be clear that were see more videos and pictures coming in from people posting on social media but people need to remain safe. providing unique perspectives as hurricane harvey just hit and as

flooding continues. this video comes from shelby in texas. the roof is ripped off of the hotel she was staying at. she says her and her pups are safe but there is a mandatory evacuation at that hotel after the roof was ripped off. this video is from galveston. it shows a woman in a makeshift canoe using a broom rowing of floodwaters that have come up to her home. that is not advice. gives you a sense of the type of flooding were seen. this video shows hurricane harvey making landfall yesterday in corpus christi. the p outside this apartment complex suffer big damage because of the storm. video coming from instagram, this is from texas city. video taken by amelia outside of

her home. water up to people's front doors, up to the cars and making its way up to the top of mailboxes in her neighborhood. this new video comes from jennifer lopez, an employee at a confectionery is the name of the company. was taken at 11:51 a.m. the water beginning to rise there. we will monitor the situation. we have a photo of a looter. the suspect, a canine. that's right, otis is walking around in texas caring entire bag of dog food with them. he's stocking up for the storm. we have good news, otis was found, he's not astray. he is safe and sound. in all seriousness, do not risk your life or social media. we appreciate the photos but do so would say. don't put yourself in this

situation with water and down power lines. >> arthel: president trump exercised his power to pardon for the first time in his presidency last night. the president using that prerogative to spare former arizona sheriff, a supportive, joe arpaio, for six months in jail. he was convicted less than a month ago for criminal contempt after to find a federal court order for 18 months in what a judge had ruled was racial profiling and immigration efforts. he held that job for 24 years, was very well known and when the pardon hit last night, to controversy europe. joining us is kelly, with the weekly standard. first of all, everybody found

out from a tweet when the president tweeted about it. he called him an american patriot. a statement today said after more than 50 years of admirable service termination, he is a worthy candidate for presidential pardon. critics are saying this undermines the very rule of law and is kicked off a firestorm. >> the timing was bizarre. i can imagine why he decided to do this unless he was remembering a statement that you should never let a crisis go to waste. he thought maybe this would slip under the radar with people focused on the hurricane. the timing is terrible. half the country deeply hurt and saddened after a white supremacist hell he charlottesville turned deadly. right now, issues of race are very sensitive in this country. why do it now? especially since the sheriff had been sentenced yet. he faced up to six months in jail and he may have been given

a suspended sentence or something very short. i questioned why the president felt he needed to pardon the sheriff when it wasn't clear if he would be going to jail for how long. >> and critics are saying just that. this undermines the judiciary and judges and federal rulings and the legislative system itself. usually they go through the department of justice system, this did not. let me read you what the arizona republic says today. a conservative news. paper. it did endorse hillary clinton. it was a dose of hard-won justice for two flamboyant sheriff who showed little respect for the constitution as he made national news as an immigration hardliner. donald trumps pardon elevates his power to those who see institutional racism as something that made america great. this was a sign appear contempt for every american who believes in justice, human dignity, the

rule of law. it's not about one group of people, it's about all americans. >> that's devastating. they make some great points. think about it, this man, joe arpaio was held in contempt of court. you have to think about the fact that he, as sheriff had a certain amount of power. conservatives especially are concerned that politicians and other elected officials gain power and abuse it. that's what this case was about. the fact that donald trump is parting someone who was convicted of abusing the power he had under the government, that should concern all americans. >> eric: the supporters say he enforced immigration laws and one after illegal immigration. here he is last night defending himself. >> i'm not going down without trying to defend myself. for those that don't like what i've done. after all these years, 55 years of law enforcement here i am on

the defense table because they want to do everything to get rid of me. i'll discuss that more next week. >> eric: what you think you can say next week to defend himself? >> he will have a tough time. of course illegal immigrants are illegal, but you cannot break the law in going after people. that's what he did. look what's happening in the philippines. you have the president there who is basically killing people and prosecuting the drug war. you cannot kill people for breaking the law. you can't break lost yourself in terms of chasing after people. sounds to me like the sheriff does not have any remorse for what he did. he is also accused of having terrible prison conditions in arizona. you prisoners living in tents and triple degree weather.

i think the fact that he expressed no remorse or concern about his abuse of power, i think you'll have a tough time arguing he should still be involved in politics which is what he hinted at. >> will see what he has to say next weekend. that tent city was famous. he put immigrants in pink underwear and serve them two times a day. he got a lot of publicity in order id because of that. but wait for his response this coming week. >> arthel: is all hands on deck for the u.s. army corps of engineers is a tries to keep tropical storms harvey's floodwaters in check. what are the biggest challenges? we will talk about that, coming up next lightweight with new ammonia blocker tackles tough odor, even ammonia. so long stankface!
