amount of power loss at this time. >> we discussed earlier or i heard someone talking about the hazard underneath the water that you had to deal with when you're responding to try to rescue people. one person said he was responding in a vote and before you knew it he was going over the top of what ends up being the roof of a house. >> that's exactly right. that is a real concern. we stress safety first. we don't need to create to rescues out of one. this kind of water bring snakes out the grass and we have all kinds of hazards that we need to account for. >> how quickly did the water rise in your area? >> rain started around 11:00 p.m. in our first calls for rescue took about four hour hours. >> as we are talking, were looking at some images of people helping each other, trying to pull them out of the swiftly moving water. any rescues that stand out to

5:06 pm
they are bracing to abandon their homes. we've seen a couple people do that already. throughout the night we will try to come up with some rescue recovery teams and police to get some of the harder hit areas that are just a few blocks behind us. we have seen shoppers overhead making rescues. you might be able to see or hear them during this report. overall, people bracing for the worst. authorities in this area say this will continue for the next couple of days. people here should not, the mayors, the senator, the governor urging people if you are in these communities you need to hunker down or get out now. >> you're right. the shot where you are reporting from is incredibly deceiving. i know that area specifically, we been showing and speaking with people in the neighborhood throughout the day. one woman said the water at
5:07 pm
2:00 a.m. was just past her ankles. by 5:00 a.m. it was up to her chest in her addict of a two-story home. that's how quickly it rose in that specific area. another woman believes there were thousand people rescued and still on the rooftops waiting to be rescued. all of this plus a tornado warning. do you see anyone where you are standing right now? >> we are trying to get to an area and some of it is just two or three blocks that way. we could not get our crew in our cars there safely. we have seen families evacuate their home. one family said the water was about shoulder height and this is considered one of the hardest hit areas. we have seen the chopper going in-and-out.
5:08 pm
we are told gets much worse. we will try to get there for you. in general, it seems like there is a sense of, as the sun sets in the rain continues, this is really happening. our meteorologist say we could get 15 - 20 inches of rain yet. >> you are doing what you're supposed to be doing which is not driving through the flooded streets. we appreciate that. we will check back with you. be careful. right now, the white house announcing that president trump will travel to texas tuesday to survey the damage from tropical storm harvey. plus the meteorologist is here to go over what happens next. >> five-point to million people are affected. we have water still rising. we have the rain still flowing. the number one thing is taking care of people safety and what the most important thing is

5:13 pm
meteorologist adam is tracking harvey and adam can you bring us up to date on this tornado warning that we had mentioned its due to pass at 645 central time. is that over? >> it is not over. at least the tornado watches and over. we continue to see tornadoes spinning up. you see the rotation of the storm, it's grabbing some warm air off the coast of mexico. along the coast and into portions of louisiana. i will show you some tornado activity but i do want to begin with our spinning storm system. their desperate why will it be such a rainmaker? why do we continue to see these. it's not moving a whole lot. we will begin to see some movement. this is the time forecast model. these are potential directions. you can see they're all pretty much in agreement. we will ship for bacteria texas which is what it's now near. back down into the gulf of mexico by tuesday, running then all the way up the coastline, past houston. that will get most of the activity on the eastern side. you're just looking at a very
5:14 pm
long time frame where we will be tracking storms and some of the severe weather on the coast. here's what you were talking about. this is the area under the tornado watch stretching over portions of louisiana, and we've actually seen a couple of tornadoes as a result. these are tornado storm cells within the area. now just off to the western side of houston and running up a little further to the east as well. anytime the storms roll onto the coast, they could turn into tornadoes. the conditions are there. the good news is, as bad as it is, we typically only cef zero spread they don't typically last a long time when they're associated with hurricanes but if you're on your roof, you are in a tough spot. hopefully there's not a lot of folks on roofs. here are our rainfall totals. the rain is still going to come but we very seen these very impressive numbers. this is where he talked about getting up into the 25 range. it is not going to go
5:15 pm
anywhere. here is the future radar. attention to your timestamp. monday into tuesday, this could linger into wednesday. folks will have to watch this for a while. how much more rain could we see? here's one model. we very seen 20 - 25. this is additional, starting from zero. we could be seeing as much as another 20, 22 inches. it is like a bull's-eye, houston maybe a little further off to the east but a lot of spots, 15, 20, 25 additional inches. everything that folks are seeing, imagine all of that happening all over again in the next couple of days because that's the type of situation were looking at. >> i was listening to the mayor of victoria texas speaking. he said about 85000 people. out of those people about 65% chose to stay but he is
5:16 pm
worried about victoria texas becoming an island because of the rising water. >> we have those wins and where that storm is sitting, we actually have those wins. there's the storm. it continues to grab water off the golf. honestly it's raining but that tide is going to continue to push in. all the inlets will be water coming down. this will be a major water vent. the rain leaves in a week but people will be doing dealing with this for a while. >> thank you so much adam. we will check back in with you. >> harvey takes an incredible toll leaving the entire area devastated. harvey continues to linger over houston unleashing devastating flooding. we are back with a live report, just ahead. >> i'm to get all my family members and get them home.

5:20 pm
5:21 pm
judge he is the leader of the county's emergency response efforts. >> you were able to visit this area with the mayor. what did you see. >> it's total devastation. the good news is he ordered mandatory evacuation so it saved a lot of lives. my team and i are focusing all our efforts for the next few days on helping that city. not only do they not have any water or electricity or sewer, telephone services nonexistent in the mayor is literally camping out in one of the only buildings that able to have someone in it. all of our efforts for the next few days will be to help that city. - so it's a city of about 3000 people. >> about 3000 people but during the summer will have 18 - 20000. this is a major tourist destination. and our homes were damaged, condominiums, every building was either totally destroyed or almost totally destroyed.
5:22 pm
i've been here over 50 years. i've never seen devastation like this. it went right over the heart of porter ranch texas. they're in trouble like. [inaudible] >> we talked about this a little bit earlier, in the 1970s it killed 11 people, correct. >> yes, that's correct. major damage to corpus christi. >> you mentioned there were mandatory evacuations. we do know there are always some people who stay behind. what about rescue efforts. anything like that. >> the road has been blocked by power lines. those were finally cleared today before i went over there. in texas, you may know this, mandatory evacuation really doesn't mean mandatory because people can tell you they don't have to leave their home. we do everything we can to get
5:23 pm
people out of harm's way. the mayor did a great job with his staff. my staff to the great job. invariably some people will stay. i think for the most part, thank god we got most the people out. >> where were they evacuated to? >> they were evacuating through corpus christi. most of those people either went north where they went west to laredo. >> what about the hospitals in the area. >> the hospitals serving porter ranch are in corpus christi so all of that is focusing very well. our children's hospital has been doing a great job so the medical facilities for people who might need help in porter ranch texas are 18 - 20 miles away in corpus christi. >> you have enough help? it's been reported there are 3000 national and state guard, ten different states helping out at least. >> we don't need anything right now other than the time
5:24 pm
and patience because it's going to take a lot of time. we've had great support from the federal government. both u.s. senators have called me personally. the congressman, our state officials are on top of this. the national guard is on the way and other people are here to help. we just need a little time and we need electricity. were trying to get electricity over there and i think they will very quickly. >> the priority is to remain safe, first and foremost. >> you mentioned fema and how it's been working through the storm and you mentioned you been through many other storms as well. can you compare for us the process now versus then. >> it's night and day. the president jumped on this immediately, signed the declaration, the governor has the declaration, i've already signed the disaster declaration predicted that the first day. everything is in line.
5:25 pm
we've got designated to help individuals because of the quick action of the president and fema. i hope this will be a great example of how federal, state and local government come together and take care the people of texas. >> can you explain to us in simple terms, how will that impact the family, but they lost their home overnight because of tropical storm harvey. >> female only helps, originally only helps those who have no insurance. if there are people who have no insurance, that's where fema will come in with it being designated for individuals. that's where the real helpful come in. if you have insurance and you use all of your insurance you are still eligible to come back and try to get additional help from fema. we have a large amount of people in our area who, unfortunately, do not carry insurance for this so fema will be a very important partner in someone we will be
5:26 pm
working with very closely at our level and state level and the federal level. >> thank you so much for joining us. we appreciate you taking the time and our prayers are with everyone there in your area. >> thank you very much. >> authorities expanding the disaster declaration so that it now covers one quarter the texas population. will tell you how many people that is. plus we will take you to a town that suffered the brunt of the initial impact. an up close look at devastation. first, rick perry on the road ahead. >> unfortunately, the low-lying city of houston is going to be affected for a long time. i think that is one of the cautionary notes. anyone trying to say here is how long this recovery will last, they are just throwing jell-o at the wall. we don't know. we need to be prepared for a really long recovery. i think it's important that

5:30 pm
>> this is the fox report. tropical storm harvey causing catastrophic flooding in houston. the national weather service said some areas could end up with a record-breaking 50 inches of rain. houston mayor sylvester is responding to criticism over his choice not to evacuate the city. >> the decision we made was a smart one. was in the best interest. it was the right decision in terms of their safety, and always we must put the interest of the city of houston first. that's exactly what we did, absolutely, no regrets. we did what was the right thing to do and we are acting according to the plan we laid out. >> it is being blamed for at least two deaths.
5:31 pm
authorities say they remain laser focused on saving as many lives as possible. caroline shively is reporting live from houston. between your life shots we've been watching some of the footage of these rescues that are still going on. what is happening now? >> we are a lot higher and a lot drier than when we last spoke with you. we are still in a neighborhood. this is the road we were taking you down. a blocks that way, but by you, out with the duck vote, going in rescuing people. if you see a whole there must be someone out there with an ax or someone who needs help. this is sort of the central area, high ground that they have been able to take people too. a little shopping area here. this truck we are standing on his own by a brewery. the eighth wonder are they normally use it for fun events but it's so huge and massive and they are so desperate to
5:32 pm
try to get out to get there folks here. we have a number of people here. they will be going to hotels. they're going to shelters. they will go back home. they been calling relatives and anyone they can. this is one of our favorite rescue folks. we were on the duck vote when the six -month-old baby was taken out. this baby's father works at the hospital. his mother works at the hospital, but right now she is just trying to get to higher ground. >> how are you doing? you said it was time to go. >> yes fema right now were just trying to see if we can get somewhere where our families can get to it. >> why did you decide now. >> she's doing great. she's a little overstimulated by all the excitement today, but doing great. the water wasn't terribly high but we know water, more waters coming tonight and we didn't want to be there when it was rising even higher.
5:33 pm
>> we were on a duck vote and you wave them down. what's it like, just regular jo's, the normally go duck hunting. >> very grateful they were out and using their resources to help out the community. we really appreciate that. it's neighborly of them. >> good luck to you. that's the best behaved baby i've ever met. >> that's the scene heather. we still have ambulances here and the police presence and the little vote that you can see. they are going out and looking for folks. plenty of people out there and they want to come in. not everyone is trapped but the water is rising. the real problem will come tonight. they may not be able to see them or hear them and it's getting colder and windier and
5:34 pm
there is plenty more rain forecast overnight. >> we saw the footage of that family being rescued during the show. i'm so glad you were able to check back in with them. i'm sure if there are families watching somewhere else there glad to see they are okay. we just want to ask you about those duck votes and the citizen rescuers. are they going to limit them going out as night falls or will the rescues continue? >> at this location, the folks we've talked to, a couple guys were pulling themselves out. they were self regulated. they didn't have lights on their vote. they only go out during the day. it is incredibly deep. they said between 89 feet. in some spots, they were running out of gas and running out of ability. they were also trying to get to their own home. another couple we talk too, he was a doctor. he had to go on shift but he iran to the hospital. he was trying to get back home to his wife and his
5:35 pm
11-year-old daughter. this is one of the initial votes. we rode out with the folks down there because some of the rescuers needed to be rescued. one of those big massive trucks got into trouble. they just couldn't get out there. it is dangerous. you don't know what's under there. there's debris and dangerous things all in the water. we don't see any rescue trucks right now. once the back of this truck is filled up were going to take off. >> you've done a great job covering it. we appreciate all your work and your crew. >> we are getting an update on the rescue updates in houston. the chief tweeted out we have completed 90 flood rescues.
5:36 pm
one of the hardest hit communities, we talk about harvey making landfall. steve is reporting live for us from nearby corpus christi. steve, how bad are things now? >> things are so bad in rockport. it's hard for officials to get an actual count of how many are dead or missing. many of the first responders were volunteers or firemen, sometimes on foot. the situation is so tough up
5:37 pm
there with no electricity, no cell phone service, no power, power line down across the road, trees across the road, it's very difficult to move around. even to get an accurate count has been tough for these first responders. we've heard people just knocking down doors, calling out, is anyone inside alive. we've seen volunteers in rockport, just with flashlights going around looking for people. it's a very dire situation. when you see the destruction and right now, still very tough to get an accurate count of how many people are in trouble. >> we've covered a lot of these hurricanes. we know what will happen next as they are able to go home to home, they will mark on the outside of houses. if someone is still inside or if someone was rescuers still needs to be rescued. the first responders, do they have everything they need? >> and some of the areas the first responders are arriving. you can really see help is on the way. we saw convoys of military vehicles arriving and the national guards setting up staging areas and shopping centers. they're already giving up thousands of mras, meals ready-to-eat and water. there are some real efforts being made.
5:38 pm
a lot of people are evacuating out of there. even the private sector is getting involved. a lot of the hotels like our holiday in his opening their doors and setting up beds in the lobbies for people who have nowhere to stay. you have contractors and evacuees in many of the accounts around here. >> everybody working together. thank you so much but we appreciate it. >> in the meantime, harvey's economic impact is now coming into focus. the texas gulf is responsible for about one third of the oil production in the u.s. now harvey is forcing several refineries to be closed including an exxon mobil plant which can process up to 600,000 barrels of crude oil. day. join me now is christie, chair of the texas railroad commission. thank you so much for joining us. >> thanks for having me. houston itself, the energy capital of the world is what it's known as. the coastal region, 17% of crude production there, how
5:39 pm
will this impact people across the country? >> it is going to be huge initially and then we think it will peter out. the good news today, we appreciate, and i've been listening to your first responders, the conversations you been having for people in houston, now we are finally getting to rockport and the neighborhoods and communities coming together, that's first and foremost the most important thing were focused on today, how it's impacting people across the state and were not finished. if you look if you look at the forecast, we are probably only halfway through this rain event. we've got several more days to figure out how we continue to rescue people, keep people out of harm's way. >> when you look at the economics, that's secondary to what is priority for us today. obviously the people first, thinking the first responders, and frankly we've had a great conversation and continue to work with agencies across the
5:40 pm
state, agencies locally in the federal government has been responsive immediately and we really appreciate that. that will help us long-term for recovery, even though we have a long recovery in front of us. we are pushing for everyone to do that part of it. >> the president will come there on tuesday. do you think that's a wise decision based on what you see right now and planning ahead what you'll be able to do tomorrow and until tuesday? >> we obviously know we are beginning to see some recovery and responders getting into the rockport area. i think houston will still have rain. i hope he brings his raincoat. we will still have flooding issues across the state for several more days. remember, people forget, as it's raining in austin, the areas closer to central texas, all that water still has to get to the coast again. it will have multiple flood stages as we go forward. we are appreciative of the
5:41 pm
president coming. we appreciate the help that were getting from fema and other federal agencies. that is important to this date going forward. >> as you said, people first, the economy next but we do have to talk about that because the texas portion counts for crude oil capacity. quickly, as we wrap up, what does this mean for the rest of the country in terms of the economy. >> today we've got ten refineries that are closing or are closed. that is about, 30% of the refining capacity in this country is sitting in the texas state and the texas gulf coast. we will see some initial impact though we've got reserves. what we don't know and what we are assessing now in the corpus area and we have to assess after houston has finished, the rain event that's going on and how long it takes to get those refineries back up and going. the quicker they get up and going, the better it is for
5:42 pm
the entire country. we are seeing the price of gas at the pump go up. it's gone up 5 - 10%. we will understand how important texas is as you are filling up at the pump. >> thank you. we appreciate you joining us. >> texas is receiving an outpouring of support from several major cities. houston is facing widespread flooding. we'll have more on that help coming from across the country ahead. >> inevitably the community comes together. texans come together to help each other. one of the things the governor just told me as we have resources coming in from ten different states. he is signing an agreement right now with the federal government to create a dual status command. >> it's just a burst pipe
5:44 pm
how yothat's why new downy sprotect and refresh. conditions fibers to lock out odors. so clothing odors don't do the talking for you. lock out odors with new downy protect and refresh. whyou're not thinking clearly, so they called the fire department for us. i could hear crackling in the walls. my mind went totally blank. all i remember saying was, "my boyfriend's beating me" and she took it from there. and all of this occurred in four minutes or less. i am grateful we all made it out safely. people you don't know care about you. it's kind of one of those things where you can't even thank somebody. to protect what you love, call 1-800-adt-cares it's time for the biggest sale of the year with the new sleep number 360 smart bed. it senses your every move and automatically adjusts

5:46 pm
5:47 pm
spirits of the people are incredible. thank you. >> so bringing our political panel to discuss, former deputy assistant and george w. bush, also with us. democratic strategists and activists and a fox news contributor. thanks for joining us. >> brad, i want to start with you because you dealt with the schedule for president george w. bush in the days following 911. tell us about that. >> it was a decision that had to be made by the president. it was just like president trump has to make, when you go to the affected area. now remember, on 914, three days after 911 president bush did go there. the ground zero was still a fight of recovery. the president had have a very small footprint and he had to make sure he was not disturbing the recovery area. my nephew was lost in 911. he was a first responder at the world trade center.
5:48 pm
i was particularly concerned, as was the president in making sure that he did not stop the ongoing operations and that's exactly the kind of decisions that have to be made by the president as he goes to the affected areas of texas. >> all the people that we've spoken with, the mayors, judges and in an area there, on the ground in texas, they are all overwhelmingly talking about president trump in positive terms in terms of his response so far. what do you think. >> i think it's certainly great that the president has brought his cabinet together and make sure the full weight of the federal government is there for texas and louisiana. when i look at this trip that he announced, tuesday, perhaps there could be some consideration of what you've been reporting on is that the worst may still be ahead of us. if he is going to go, that will make it harder. instead of rushing to the
5:49 pm
scene, in this case, the president could stay in washington, make sure all of the agencies are following his instruction and really run the federal government's response away from a situation that is perhaps getting even worse. >> to think people would give them a break or give them a hard time and say he should be out there? >> what you think. >> he announced a targeted date of tuesday. i can always slide depending on the circumstances on the ground. i can guarantee the white house is taking the council of governor abbott so he's not distracting from the life-saving rescues that still may need to take place. i will tell you this, if i was planning his event, i would say he should land in austin, he should get briefed at the capital and do teleconferences for the affected areas and use
5:50 pm
a helicopter to areas so there's not a motorcade and you're not taking too many resources on the ground. there's a lot of options a president can do. >> let's hope this is an opportunity to bring the country together. we really need to come together and hopefully this is an opportunity to do that. >> an incredible view of the natural disaster as people give us an eyewitness account of devastation on social media. that's up next. it's time for the biggest sale of the year
5:51 pm

5:53 pm
5:54 pm
