50 feet, a record in some places with the second lore of some homes. one woman treated. our two children with me. the water swallowing a big rescue efforts underway. our coverage continues. leland: houston underwater and people begin to assess the damage hardest hit in rot port. flooding there a big issue, too. roads turning into rivers. people trapped in their cars and homes as well. emergency rescues underway across houston and much of southern texas. are there enough rescuers to rescue all of those in trouble? we have reporters across the area as tropical storm harvey continues to drop rain now talking about up to 50 inches in some places. america's news headquarters from washington. i am leland vittert. leland: very scary situation.

i'm elizabeth plan. thousands of people remained without power and dangerous flooding affects much of the state. more than 2 million people live in the houston area. at least five people have died in the governor says more than 1000 people have dirty been rescued. caroline shively tracking it all from houston where the waters continued to rise. hey, caroline. reporter: hi to you, elizabeth. numbers coming in absolutely staggering. two feet of dirty hit us in houston. another 10 to 15 inches expected today. this thing is not running out until midweek. arena solidly coming down. take a look in the uptown area. we drove basically as far as we could, drop anchor because it is a river now. you can see some if you peeked out there where they run into each other, still some trucks are able to push through.

certainly a very dangerous time right now. you mentioned about half a dozen people found that. as the rescue teams come from all areas of texas, as they come from as far away as virginia, they will be going into these homes. in two decades of reporting, i have never seen such grave language. the police, fire department, fire department, emergency responders are same look, if you can do in your house, do it. don't go to your attic unless you have been asked. they are saying go to the roof. we don't want you trapped in your home. we don't want you to drown in this as you look at live pictures is absolutely what they are asking people not to do. most of the death in a tropical storm like this comes from folks driving their cars and they get stuck. this guy plowing through looks like he might make it. this normally high and dry, if

you had a ditch yesterday, probably a creek today could be a river tomorrow. things are grim here in houston and the infrastructure is absolutely starting to fall apart. you can see the waves coming through here. the places where water would normally drain out is probably not. rosenberg, which is the arrest, getting word that some of the roads have collapsed. an actual sinkhole. asking people to stay home, do not doubt in this unless you absolutely have to. a truck right there, no matter how big you are, you run a risk of stalling out and getting stuck in this. they are telling folks, only call 9-1-1 if you are in imminent danger if you think you are going to die. otherwise, please, please don't do this. do not get out on the road. elizabeth caroline shively with the latest. you have to think about the infrastructure is the water

continues with all that pressure. thank you so much, caroline. leland: learning now that the coast guard is deploying helicopters from all over the nation down to houston for aerial rescues once those road even for rescuers. some of the worst damage occurred in rockport texas north of corpus christi. the coastal town of about 10,000 people was a direct hit for hurricane harvey. at least one person died in that area during the storm and they haven't finished searching. additional fatalities to 5000 residents did not evacuate. >> i've seen the other family, like four or five kids in the trailer and a tornado hit it and they were gone. two more came across the other side coming the other way and cut a path on this way and everybody in that area come and there's no way they could've survived. >> our houses are gone,

everybody's houses were gone. everybody made their decision to stay, which was the worst decision they could have made. we are all lucky to be alive. >> adam klotz at the fox news extreme weather center. this is unprecedented and all impacts are unknown and beyond anything experienced. that reminds me of the words the national weather service was using when hurricane katrina was buried in new orleans. are there any parallels now? >> the parallels are that became a flooding event and that is what we see here across areas of houston and the entire texas coast. because the system will stall, flooding will be the major issue. happening right now, i do want to point out we continue to be under a tornado watch. we are seeking this warm air lifting up the gulf of mexico, and we see the tornado within

the last several hours. we've seen several tornado storms and this becomes scary, right along the span where you can see intense rainfall. we have seen those spinoff. the water is rising. so you can on your roof and get a tornado warning and you can't get back in the house. very scary situation around that area as we continue to have those conditions there where we could be tornadoes spin out. generally they fizzle out very quickly but scary nonetheless because you get rotation, briefly very strong winds. or take the patient at numbers 15 to 20 inches. i can bring you in tighter. pretty much everything is on the upper end from 12, 16, 20 inches when you start to get light colors. we've still got a long ways to go until the rain is over. here's where we look at all the

moisture continues to pound houston, galveston and at this point portions of western louisiana as well. i'm afraid we are just going to keep lifting this moisture up the gulf of mexico and we will see rounds and rounds of it. all the flashlight advisory up and down the coast. you begin to wonder how long can it last? i am taking you from sunday into monday morning, continuing to spend, still seem heavy showers are a little bit of a break, at least calming down a bit. still monday into tuesday in the system just spins and keeps dumping rain in the general area. i'm afraid we will be dealing with this monday, tuesday, brief breaks in the rain, but that continues all the way to the middle of next week. >> fair to say the worst in terms of flooding yet to come for houston. >> yeah, we might only be halfway there. we could get another 20 inches or more.

leland: unbelievable in clearly unimaginable. extreme weather center. thank you. >> startling information. brandi webber at the storms and friends in texas. his district stretches from the coastline and land towards houston. some of the hardest hit areas under mandatory evacuation areas and they are bracing for more flooding. he joins me now and you can imagine the connection is not excellent. if you can hear me, thank you for joining us. i was looking at a map of your district and i want to get a gauge of how your constituents are doing. are you hearing from some of them? are they able to get to safe ground if needed? >> thank you, lives. we have helicopters from the coast guard, gps rescuing some which has taken a real hard hit. galveston, lake jackson downs

bows, real hard hit. a 20-mile radius for 64 years. i've never seen this. elizabeth i think that's what we are really understanding. not only have we never seen it, though we heard we are about halfway through the worst of the storm up to 21 inches. reporters on the ground where sometimes the infrastructure constructed knuckle simply under the pressure and the way. are you getting the resources you need to make those evacuations we've seen troy the winds start to drag down? >> the great state of texas is in here paid galveston county, they've all had aspects. first responders doing everything they can, but we never anticipate this kind of volume of people needing to be rescued. we are doing them one at a time. looking out as first one i've

got video out and it's unbelievable. we could always use more help. lots of land, lots of flood water. it's a bit difficult to get mobilized. elizabeth: can you share with me the stories you are using? some folks starting to see what is really a years worth of water overnight and some of them waking up in the middle of the night. a lot of people like you said are searching for safety and there's a lot of guidance and at the same time difficult to get families, animals up on the rooftop. what are you hearing? how are people getting now? >> well, by boat. we've had volunteers not only first responders, the citizens put out a call on face the un- emergency network that if you've got a flat bottomed boat, please call this number. our great citizens are responding. we never envisioned this kind of

volume so we can always use more. citizens are coming out to get people out of the attic. we've got some medical emergency rescues. we've got some helicopters may be an hour ago. as i said earlier, i haven't seen it firsthand talking to people who are stranded. it's just unbelievable. >> my last question is where are these folks going and you have the safe place for them to seek refuge? >> thank goodness we've got a lot of good first responders and emergency management people they were at least on the dry places, they were good they are. we can make that happening. the sheer volume and the number of people stranded that we have no way to predict dean. we've got a lot of emergency shelters people are going to.

a long time to dry. i did hear your forecast earlier. more rain for at least two, maybe three more days. it's only going to get worse. elizabeth: congressman weber, thank you for the time joining us today. we know you have it it very much and you are facing some harsh weather conditions and your constituents are as well. thinking for you, praying for you and we wish you the best, sir. >> thank you. fixing to go pick up a pair of my constituents right now that are stranded. >> speaking of additional resources heading into the area from the coast guard, the u.s. coast guard expecting eight more helicopters to help with rescues. three more flood response teams in additional air assets from the customs and border protection as well as the dod, meaning the department of defense, u.s. military operating during hurricane katrina using heavy helicopters to bring in not only supplies, but also rescue people and bring them

leland: a fox news alert as we continue our coverage of the historic flooding in and around houston all the way from victoria, texas, north into houston, city used to dealing with a lot of water, but nothing like this at thousands of rescues underway and at that time, we went on the air committed nine, the 9-1-1 systems in houston overwhelmed by calls of people needing to be rescued. on the phone with us now, texas railroad commissioner ryan who is just south of houston where a lot of this water is now flowing back down towards galveston. appreciate you being here, sir. you are the texas railroad

commissioner, but so much more. you can turn into a citizen, rescuer right now. give us your experience over the last 24, 48 hours. >> thanks for having me on. it really has been a once-in-a-lifetime event here. we've got homes that have never seen water that are now seeing flooding. we see local community e-mail saying people should get to the tops of their rooms, black hawk helicopters, so much flooding and we are just trying to get everyone we can take a safe, gets a caring dad out of the water. leland: you sent in some pictures. is there enough resources on the ground or is this one of these cases of neighbor helping neighbor. we've heard times people are coming out in their own flat bottomed boats, on their own jet is trying to move around these

neighborhoods in at least those most in danger out. >> yes. first of all -- [inaudible] but this is one of those events where no, there's not enough resources but it makes you proud , helping each other, whether removing debris so water can drain or moving people from homes to shelter. this is to make sure we keep as many people safe as we can. >> a deeply personal aspect looking at live pictures not too far from you and galveston county. this is galveston, texas where we see jet skis out in roads and highways that have turned into rivers as people go out and try and rescue folks. at the same time, it is easy to get dog down in these individual rescues and then you think about houston as the city of the

energy capital, in many ways the energy capital of america already heard about the exxon refinery shutting down, shell refineries shutting down. how long are we expecting this to last? what is the impact around the country and also the impact in texas because all the resources into texas need gas to fuel the rescues. >> that is right. this situation is changing by the hour. i think it is hard to overstate how massive the impact is going to be when you consider the state of texas refined maybe a third of the country about 6 million barrels a day. already 2 million of those perils of the finest capacity or offline comics acting another billion and a half barrels to come offline. the observed 4 million barrels of products. there is additional flooding hard for workers to get to those plans. the plans for precautionary

reasons are slowing down. we can expect a big impact, not just in texas, but the world as all the oil and gas. train to another galveston port is still closed. tens of thousands of them still stranded out to sea. the impacts of this are incredible and as you play now, sort of wide ranging. appreciate you joining us on the phone. stay safe anonymously everyone appreciates whatever you can do to help out. all the best. >> thank you for having me. you all have a great day. elizabeth: tropical storm harvey continues to linger of the state of texas. images and social media hard to ignore. plenty of people giving us a glimpse of the flooding and devastation in their homes and neighborhoods. for more, we turn to branyan is who has the very latest. >> icon elizabeth. and they call for help. people homes in the houston's

they try and catch up with the road hands. getting into people's homes like that is just astounding. this is water in edge broke, houston. vehicles are stalled out. the water you can see has a strong current as roads literally turn into rivers in that neighborhood. this video is from the balcony of someone's apartment complex in maryland -- in the maryland area as well maryland area as well as houston. nowhere to go. also seeing people on facebook began to post calls for help, statuses on the hurricane harvey emergency facebook page. a mere few stint we did an hour ago, urging people not to use social media accounts for rescue request, to actually call 9-1-1 only if it is life-threatening or if you need help. if you need to leave your home,

call 311 in the houston area. we will continue to monitor social media as we are getting stunning images from houston. elizabeth: brian, thank you very much. unbelievable. drink your friends and family said their final goodbyes to one of two u.s. soldiers killed in iraq. sergeant alan stigler junior of the 82nd airborne was laid to rest on saturday in arlington, texas. he was fighting isis militants in a month when he was killed there with the army called in artillery missile. the 22-year-old had just one month left on his tour of duty. sergeant rochon brooks was alongside of him and also died good book says in afghanistan on his first deployment to iraq. if you think about that, 22 years old means he was eight years old on 9/11. elizabeth: doctors appointment and it was really devastating. i saw the images from the funeral yesterday. it was really sad. still ahead, latest developments

and more rain. casey stegall my. the rain can't be making it any easier for the viewers that are still working around. >> no, leland, it's really queuing down. i can't get my head around it. i'm standing in it. can't get my head around this. texas is where we are, about 20 miles south of houston city limits. we have a triangle your communities. the mark texas, dickinson texas and then directly behind the camera is a community known as santa fe. santa fe under tornado warnings. we can't tell if it is in the sky or the rain is coming down. these are neighborhoods, but you can see some of the homes are up

higher. leland: looks like we just lost the microphone. this happens so often in the storms that the equipment begins to become waterlogged. casey has been out there since her stare friday. that is under the incredibly difficult conditions as the rain continues to come down there. casey has been talking about and you can hear us now in terms of the need for more and more rescue resources to get into these areas. reporter: can you guys hear me now? >> we are still having problems. this from galveston, texas. sort of a time where they were beginning to get in. some of the that the vehicles before the flooding started yet another concern for these communities. you can be where it is on the outer edge of the texas coastline is where these communities will begin to get

caught off in the equipment in there at all. we'll check back in as soon as we get them a new microphone cable. transfer we heard from our meteorologist adam klotz we are about 20 more inches to go. terrifying situation. historic flooding in houston shows how dangerous the situation still is throughout much of the state is rain continues, closely monitoring inland flooding risk. more insight on the risk from flooding. robert mason, office of surface water chief with united is geological survey. thank you for joining us. i appreciate it. we have a map i want to put up and it shows the work that you've done, sort of logging engaging the river level around much of houston. this was taken this morning. these rivers were already stretched. there's practically no where for the water to go. tommy what you learned in the situation we see right here. >> we continue to watch this. if you're in the field, measure

the velocity, the rivers and how much are slowing down. it happens. we haven't had anything like this in about 20 years. last time i saw anything close, it is still rising. 2001 now we're approaching now. there's no place for the water to go. that puts pressure on infrastructure. but the new danger for folks. the waters are still rising in a new challenge for these people. >> more of a challenge for people living there.

clearly there's going to be more communities, people may be needing to evacuate or very likely are. that will be several days. some of them will be rising well into the week. leland: at the water stops, we can see rivers start to rise. on the situation because people will say it's not raining, i'm not in any danger. i would've said that the assumption you would really warn people to believe in. >> absolutely. i warned them against. the idea is waters flowing in from other areas upstream for these communities might be now. that may take a day or two for the waters to arise from the areas and contribute all the more. >> could they have done anything more? >> this is a very unusual flood.

this is probably a design event, in other words putting everything under stress or they might have designed something that's bad in terms of roads or bridges to the extent of doing not would've been more than communities could afford. elizabeth: robert, thank you for joining us. we appreciate the perspective. leland: keeping iran texas, but also very big news out of washington as president trump has issued a codger burchell first pardoned during the storm. coming up, former doj official about sheriff arpaio and why critics say this pardon is not exactly straightforward.

one of his earliest and strongest supporters during the campaign. this pardon spares are jail sentence after he was convicted of criminal contempt for going after undocumented immigrants. critics say the pardon undermines our judicial system. let's bring in robert driscoll, deputy attorney general the civil rights division, former attorney for mr. arpaio and also friend of the show. such a loyal friend. you are wounded but will here. we appreciate it. at some level, heaters are going to hate or disagree as it were in washington. the constitution is pretty clear on is that the president's powers are absolute. >> basically unreviewable. people are complaining the sheriff was good, that's why you need a pardon. anyone who is pardon committed a crime under the judicial system. that is kind of the way it works. from a legal, it may not be

safe, but we've seen presidents on both sides of the aisle use it to the dismay of members of the opposite party. some people say that because the president may attack to attorney general sessions about the investigation before the pardon it makes a pardon invalid. is there anything to that? >> know, the president's pardon power -- in the past have pardon people on the eve of the trial, after trial. you cannot mass pardon. i don't see any reason. it's a unitary executive branch. all executive authorities have that conversation. >> there has been some discussion in terms of the political chatter about the timing of this on a friday evening as the hurricane was tearing down a texas can now still the results of the hurricane and plenty there in texas. but in much of the way that this is a political issue now, going

after sheriff r. pio for the obama administration was a political issue then. >> he was. i represented back in 2009 when the investigation open and a half since 2010 or 2011. it started literally the day after the migration, the most a campaign for president obama to go after because of disagreement whether or not local law enforcement should enforce. that is still happening today with people on different sides obviously president trump. leland: where does this go from here? is this giving a cover to other sheriffs around the country and other law enforcement, whether it be local police chiefs who want to take a stronger stand on immigration or is it simply the fact that the president is the president gives them not cover. >> i think the only cover they would have would be the policy from the presidency. i don't see the president getting into a habit of pardoning local law enforcement

in mass for things like this. sheriff arpaio had a close relationship with the president. his investigation was a little bit unique. some people may obviously correctly derived what the president is using, but i think i would next decade to pardon any sheriffs to get himself in hot water. >> suffice it to say, he is continuing support of law enforcement. >> again, it ends up being a political solution. leland: robber, we appreciate you coming in is always. we wish you a quick recovery, sir. thank you as always. elizabeth: thousands of people fled their homes along the texas coast, taking safety from hurricane harvey. next, an update from the salvation army on the relief effort and how you at home can how. -- help. and fast and friendly claims service.

speaking of service? oooo, just out. it was in. out. in! out. in! what about now? that was our only shuttlecock. take a closer look at geico. great savings. and a whole lot more. when i feel controlled by frequent, unpredictable abdominal pain or discomfort 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.

elizabeth: fox is what we continue to follow the developments out of texas that thousands are rescued from catastrophic flooding in and around houston. of course when people are pulled to safety, they need a safe things like food and shelter. as for groups like the salvation army steps in. joining us now to talk about their effort is boyd matthews. i know obviously you haven't looked very much in your very, very busy. i have to ask you, are you

prepared for the thousands of people who are still being evacuated and rescued? >> well, they think we are ready for the increase could be hope it doesn't turn into that. the salvation army pre-positioned 44 feeding kitchen the height of the storm and when it became available, we can feed over 60,000 meals a day out of just those 44 units. elizabeth: that's what i was going to ask you, sort of what is your capacity in and around houston and also, how long are you going to be able to sustain not? we hear so often this could be a three to four to five day event if not longer. >> well, we can see those 60,000 plus daily as needed and then we can increase our capacity is necessary from the 450 we have around the country. it has been a terrible time, terrible toll on those going through it and even the workers who want to be there are being

called to just go the extra mile and a typically well prepared to do that with our disaster services. >> .that is going to ask is you have a certain expectation going in. certainly you can visualize, this is obviously something maybe none of us perhaps visualize. i'm also wondering how do you get additional resources and their how people want to volunteer, how can they get on the ground to help these folks at the whole city is waterlogged >> well, the american people are mighty generous in and make it possible for us to send hundreds of volunteers, hundreds of aid staff, those who are technically trained to help out in disasters in training compassion and wanting to share with those who are going through a difficult time. some of them alone. in the salvation army, we need to ask. the love of a god who cares for us and we need to make sure

those similarly going through a tough time are knowing that there is someone there who's going to be with them and see them through to the end. we have reserves throughout the nation who will help us with as much as we need in the houston area to make sure no one goes hungry, no one goes unclothed. elizabeth: thank you so much for joining us and for your help on this very dire situation. we let our viewers know how they can help, too. thank you very much. as you heard from the salvation army has mobilized. if you want help, make a donation online at help salvation army.org. you can also call 1800 sel army or tax storm 251555. all the information on your screen right now. train to the rescue efforts continue in texas. let's bring in congressman kevin brady joining us by phone from his home in the woodlands as is monitoring the houston flooding as we all are.
