officials got in front of this and evacuated a radius of 11/2 miles and law enforcement keeping people away, this is 30 miles northeast of houston near a small town called crosby, that is going to be a story unfolding. we believe at this hour most of the residents, folks in that area where pre-evacuated, moved out of the way. we will learn from the press conference scheduled for 9 am local, that may be coming sooner to ease fears, harris county officials in that area, we will be following this all morning and there is an additional story playing out just south of the barker reservoir in houston, if you look behind me versus canyon ranch, you see the water up very high, people trying to get out,

but office of emergency management issued a new mandatory evacuation, this gentleman, connor, what happened? >> i woke up to in email saying we were mandatory evacuation. >> what are you going to do? >> i was thinking of getting out and staying in my at's house? >> are you alarmed that here we are in a big city, you are being evacuated because of the reservoir situation, the reservoirs are overflowing, it will be several weeks, does this concern you? are you thinking of what you are going to do after the weekend? >> a little bit because people who lived here for years said this never flooded as bad ever. >> reporter: what you are going to have here is, while the weather has gotten better, it is

opposed to not rain, yesterday it didn't, first responders and those great volunteers able to work, we were on a rescue boat, rescued 12 people including the one-month-old baby, the situation at that plans, 30 miles northeast of houston is going to be a very dangerous situation. expected more explosions potential and just south of the barker reservoir the water overflowing and causing a lot more flooding and look behind connor. this is amazing, we see what seems to be personal watercraft, people trying to get out on their own, that wheelchair, talking to local officials here apparently is from a nursing home, in fact you knew something about that, that wheelchair, what happened? >> further down the road is a nursing home and before all the

flooding happened had to wheel and walk out all the residents. >> anyone on that overnight mandatory evacuation order, a list of several subdivisions, a dozen or more, those people are going to wake up to the news if they haven't already left the they need to get out. >> definitely will be a rush to do that when that happens. thank you very much. we knew that was going to have an explosion at some point, just happened at 4:00 local time. >> nothing they could do to avoid it, the plaintiff never experienced flooding like this before. adenosine standing by to talk a little more about more rain next week in the same area in texas. >> it is possible. some of the computer models

indicate perhaps a tropical entity that moves in the same direction but we are still days out still tracking, we will keep you posted but here's what is left of harvey, national hurricane center issuing its last official advisory on the storm. we will see the potential of several inches of rain as it moves towards the mississippi river valley, the ohio valley and with it certainly the potential for heavy rainfall. there is the track of the storm as it finally moved northeastward. additional rainfall four to six, maybe eight inches on the path of the storm, but for texas we are dry. watching the european model which gives indications as we head into monday an area of low pressure hangs out and moves up towards the gulf coast. this area looks like louisiana, mississippi, alabama, yesterday showing the houston area. this is something to watch.

we have potential for a hurricane in the next 24 hours, this could be our next big event for the east coast, maybe golf, the caribbean needs to watch. >> the rain next week janice is talking about could impact reservoirs and continue to rise. >> officials saying get out or die, rob schmidt picks up coverage in texas where thousands of homes are still underwater. what is the latest? >> reporter: storm has cleared out, cleared pretty much all of texas, the story does remain and could get worse. right here in richmond, texas, you can see it has come up pretty high, as high as it has ever been and the issue is there is still water dumping in from other areas so it will get even

higher than that and that is the problem and the worry right now for this part of texas, we spoke to one man who lives a few steps from this river who told us his concerns for the next 24 hours and the governor mirroring those concerns about the entire state. >> those folks are underwater, all the rain up north, this is as bad. i heard some time friday morning, we still have another day coming up slowly. >> we are up to our highest level of the number of texas national guard members, deployed, 10,000 national guard being deployed here from other states, the worst is not yet over. >> reporter: the death toll from the storm at 31 at this point and expected to rise. we had a judge in eastern texas

warn people in eastern texas on the louisiana border they need to get out, the worry is the river which runs through beaumont into port arthur before spilling into the gulf could rise to an unprecedented level and the expectation from this judge who was a big deal in tyler county is loss of life is almost certain at this point and extreme damage to property, the same warning we heard when the storm initially came up or made landfall, if you are going to stay, write your name and social security number on your body so they can identify you because the likelihood of getting killed by the storm is that high, the water continues to rise, a big story even though we will have sunny days in texas these waters continue to rise. >> being able to find people who did stay because the street

signs are underwater is difficult all the way around. >> long road to recovery, thanks. today the vice president is heading to texas to meet with victims and survey the damage left by harvey, he says the administration wants to be there every step of the way as they restore, recover and rebuild. two us warships on their way to texas, the uss oak will bring disaster relief supplies and medical, maritime and their support. >> donald from playing hardball in the text from kickoff calling congress and democratic senator claire mccaskill specifically, he was in her state, she is up for reelection, he said get on board, get it done or get voted out. >> they are taking us frankly to the cleaners. we must, we have no choice, we must lower our taxes. your senator, claire mccaskill, she must do this for you and if she doesn't do it for you, you

have to vote her out of office. i am calling on all members of congress, democrat, republican and independent to support pro-american tax reform. they have to do it. >> he was really broad on his tax reform policy that he laid out. simplify the tax code, eliminate special-interest loopholes, provide tax relief for middle-class families and cut corporate tax relief. what is interesting, fox news has a poll out talking about do people think congress will pass tax reform this year and here is the paul, yes, 49% state is important, 46% say no, pretty

much half and half which is it likely? yes, 14% say yes but it is overwhelming, 78% say not likely with this congress. >> that coincides with the approval rating for congress which is 15% whereas donald trump is 41% overall but his highest approval rating comes on the economy at 49%. he does have the upper hand now and congress had better listen and get some work done. >> may be. we will see. >> the time is 10 minutes after the top of the hour. you just heard him, donald trump putting pressure on congress to put money back in your pocket. what do voters think? lee carter joins us up next and cartoon controversy, you have seen politico under fire for this image depicting hurricane harvey with some saying it marks the victims. what do you think? that next on "fox and friends" first. olay regenerist

>> donald trump heading directly into the damage in texas. how did his message resonate with voters? lee carter is with ill and scanned partners and she put the president of the dial test. the governor did an amazing job is what donald trump and thank him he had a soundbite, listen to that and give your opinion. >> i want to thank our governor, your governor has done a fantastic job, thank you very much, right here. we want to thank your governor, senator cornyn, we want to thank the whole group. >> republicans gave in a, independents and a-and democrat to see. this was a really good visit for the president and he made it about the people who are doing a great job, he didn't make it about himself, people responded well. >> he spoke in springfield,

missouri on taxes. >> a tax code that is simple, fair and easy to understand. that means getting rid of the loopholes and complexity that primarily benefit the wealthiest americans and special interests. our last major tax rewrite was 31 years ago. >> that was surprising for people how did that rate? >> this is one of the best messages the president of the delivered, republicans gave a plus, you couldn't even see them the line so off the truck, independents gave in and even democrats gave it a c-. this is extraordinary given how poorly he did was independents and democrat over the last two weeks, he couldn't say anything without dials falling to the floor so everyone responded to his message, his tone, they liked that he was disciplined and liked what he had to say and democrats said this was something they could get behind,

so the tax code is supposed to favor the message, that resonated with democrats. >> he talked about the american model, a soundbite for that. >> my administration is embracing a new economic model. it is called simply the american model. under this system we will encourage companies to hire and grow in america, to raise wages for american workers and help rebuild our american cities and communities. that is how we will all succeed in growth together. >> how did that fair with everyone? >> it did very well, republicans gave it an a, independents also and a and democrats a c-. look -- democrats, not so great but better than we have seen in some time and this notion of american model tiger to wages,

to rebuilding, to a positive thing fits with the make america great narrative much less focused on his frustrations and putting people down as he has most recently, positive message, great speech for the president and responded to both his tone, the message and the way he stayed on message the whole time. >> you have a good report card, appreciate it. >> always like a good report card, 17 minutes after the top of the hour coming up the gunshot wielding texan with no time for looters. >> going to have to shoot you. i will cut you in half. >> how he is taking matters into his own hands plus paying tribute to the people, 20 years since the death of princess diana. hear from someone who met her and says that her legacy still lives on. ♪ ♪ never fading with the sunset

the wedding ceremony and we were discussing remembering getting up early that morning, watching the wedding and our floor director said you can watch the wedding on youtube in this digital age. when you met princess diana what would she think of this going on now? >> she must've been 5 years old, she was so young. interesting thing because the bottom line is we are used to living in a phone agent everything being so instant. diana was just on the cusp of that. she herself, professionally and privately, i she embraced the media age. and connect with some of the media and make friends with elements of the media. even she was stunned how much she has been remembered and images have lived on because we

have to remember the images are trapped in time. she struck me as a marilyn monroe figure, very public persona, happy smiling princess but in private when i met her at the ritz hotel in london she was more interested that i had taken my mom out for afternoon tea, wanting to connect with normal was that. she made fun that i had to buy a tie because i turned up without a tie and she liked that sort of thing about people, she was a people's princess. >> you said she had a secret and that was a smile then that is something we all remember, there is a sense of tragedy that she had this beauty about her and realism about her. you for joining us, we appreciate it. from london. the time is 25 after the hour, a

actually coast guard sent by the government. the backlash, a lot of people say this is an unfair characterization of texan christians and flood victims in general, selena says it is like no one at politico has anyone who sit in a pew every sunday, do they have any understanding of how insulting this is? another tweet says this is tasteless and shows lack of humanity. some people suffering in texas, this is their contribution. like i said before, the artist is defending his cartoon, he says he is specifically making fun of the texas secessionist movement were people who want texas to be its own country while they are benefiting from life-saving government aid. a lot of people on twitter saying harris county, the area that was heavily hit by this

the latest developments, state run media, kim jung un thing north korea's missile launch over japan was only a prelude to an imminent strike on qualm. the us following up with a missile agency announcing it successfully shooting down a medium-range ballistic missile off the coast of hawaii, what do you make of the latest moves from both sides. >> the missile flight that went over japan was highly provocative. last time a missile flew over japan was in 2009 in 1998 and those two were space launched but this is the first time a missile flew over, very provocative because a missile breaks up in the atmosphere the weight is not intended to it could fall on innocent japanese civilians, american forces are very highly provocative, missile defense tests very important, one is to test these purely defensive systems that can intercept incoming missiles and send a message the united states has this ability.

if north korea were to -- where an american ship would have technical ability to intercept missile and would not be worse going that route. >> let's look at what donald trump has to say, he sent this message, the us talking to north korea and paying the extortion money for 25 years, talking is not the answer but at the same time secretary matus responding saying we are never out of diplomatic solution among some other things, is the discrepancy between the two, what do you think? >> if you look at the transcript the reporter asked secretary matus, are we out of diplomatic options? responded to that question and said no. diplomacy requires everything on the spectrum of military power short of using force, the credible threat of force. i think secretary matus

complemented what donald trump said. if we are just going to talk to north korea without preconditions, relieve sanctions because of things they want with requiring what is necessary stopping long-range missile programs, their nuclear programs we won't, it won't work and it hasn't worked for 25 years, i he is complement in the president, not contradicting him. >> we don't want to fall into the trap of the redline because we -- there is going to be consequences, have to be consequences. >> exactly right as you can't just talk. you want a credible threat of force. secretary matus if you look at his other remarks in recent weeks he said the north koreans should not launch a missile at the united states or us territory or we will retaliate and they will regret doing so. secretary matus says we are trying to avoid conflict, avoid war and the best way to do that

is credible threat of force. >> context is so important, thanks for bringing that into play for us, appreciate you joining us and we will be right back, stay with us. boom. love it.
