trump came up with a very strong statement condemning the violence on both sides. welcome to the weekend, everyone. i'm anthony along with dana jacobson in for alex wagner. hurricane harvey is blasting texas this morning, and this is what it feels like. storm was a category four when it made landfall late last night northeast of corpus christi in rockport, with winds at 130 miles an hour and heavy rain. tornado watch has been posted for most of the coast, all the way to louisiana. the hurricane caused tens of thousands of residents to flee. more than 210,000 people are

without electricity this morning. >> harvey is now a category one storm, but it could strengthen again. it's already brought storm surges of up to 12 feet and is expected to cause extensive flooding over the next few days, from as much as three feet of rain. we have a team of correspondents stationed throughout eastern texas. we start in victoria, which is just a few miles from the eye of the storm. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. we are definitely seeing the worst of hurricane harvey as it churns inland here in victoria. maximum sustained winds at 90 miles per hour. wind gusts can top 100 miles per hour. they're intermittent but you get a sense of how dangerous and possibly destructive or even destructive as we've seen in other parts of texas, this storm will be. i can tell you the situation here really started to deteriorate around 2:00 a.m. that's when the powers went out. you could hear transformers blowing, power lines coming

down. what was really scary for people here, including us, was that the hotel started to sway. a lot of people right now out here have decided to wait it out in the lobby of the hotel, away from windows. as dangerous as the wind situation is right now and will be for hours, the real concern for officials here in victoria is the rainfall. they're not expecting to get nearly inches. they are expecting feet of rain. up to 2 1/2 feet from this storm. what they've been mentioning is cat dprastrophic flooding. it's why they wanted people to get out of the way of the storm. some did yesterday. others decided to ride it out. the big problem going forward is it could take days to assess damage here and any recovery because the storm is expected to linger. now, you're getting one perspective from us here of how bad the situation is, but just to give you a wider perspective, yes, we are right here, close to the eye of the storm right now,

but there are more than 7 million texans living in a state of disaster right now. again, this situation is worsening for some right now. >> be careful. thank you. danger is still being assessed from hurricane harvey. late last night, president trump tweeted that he signed a disaster proclamation, freeing up federal assistance for the state of texas. david is driving toward the city of rockport, where the storm made landfall. david, good morning. >> reporter: anthony, good morning. we left our hotel in corpus christi when it seemed safe to do so. the rain is falling at a heavy clip. this is still a category one hurricane, even as it has moved inland on the gulf coast of texas. we're headed to rockport because we're told the damage is extensive. there was at least one report overnight where the city manager told cbs news the roof of a senior housing complex had collapsed, trapping people. rescue crews were unable to get to get because it was not safe

to do so. they eventually were able to get those people to safety. this storm, by the way, is going to rank in the top 20 of most powerful hurricanes to ever hit the united states. video inside the eyewall of hurricane harvey shows the power of a category four as it barrelled into the gulf coast last night. several areas looked like disaster zones. wind gusts of over 160 miles per hour and flooding rains slammed towns along the water. it's not expected to let up for days. rockport and fulton were some of the cities hardest hit. they are the first populated areas to see a direct impact. early views of the damage show several mobile homes flipped or already in pieces. a gas station sign lies flat on the ground after it was toppled. people staying at this hotel had to be evacuated to a nearby school. >> debris everywhere. roof gone. rooms exposed. harvey is no joke. >> reporter: as you enter the

bedrooms of the hotel, the outer wall and windows are gone. parts of this area high school were left unrecognizable after demolished by the destructive winds. just to the south of rockport in aransas pass, the police department showed the walls of their building blown off. this reporter in corpus christi was nearly lifted off the ground as the winds picked him up during harvey's landfall. this is the first category four hurricane to hit the texas coast since hurricane carla, which came 56 years ago. the rain is coming down at a heavy clip and expected to continue the next two to three days. that's why flooding is a grave concern with this storm which, by the way, is still roaring as a category one, even as it is over land here on the gulf coast of texas. by the way, in corpus christi during the height of the storm, a homeowner shot the alleged intruder.

the intruder is still alive. no major injuries in the city of corpus christi. it is as you get out of the area that you find extensive damage. this storm did not weaken at all. as it nailed the texas coast. anthony, when we get to rockport, we'll update you. >> david in corpus christi, texas, thanks. hurricane harvey has caused significant damage along a big part of the texas coast. the storm is heading northwest. winds decreased to about 100 miles per hour. demarco morgan is in galveston. >> reporter: good morning. the wind is still coming at us full speed. the rain has been off and on. we clocked 40-mile-per-hour winds and topped at least 50-mile-per-hour winds. i know manuel talked about it being 90 miles per hour. this is some of the debris off the pildinbuildings. this coming at you even at 50-mile-per-hour winds is dangerous. it is not always the wind that kills you but what's in the

wind. we've seen people coming out here and taking selfies. be careful if you're coming outside to take in the winds. we have palm trees out here that have been blowing. that's a familiar sign. the all-too familiar sign when a tropical storm or hurricane is in the area. this is something extremely dangerous. harvey is expected to soak galveston and the houston area for the next several days. galveston's record for total rainfall over a five-day span has been -- streets will likely be flooded for several days. north of here, three homes were destroyed by a wind-fueled fire. it is not immediately clear if they were occupied and if all of this isn't enough, there is also a threat of tornadoes northeast of galveston. we could be in the area where we could be facing the tornado threats. again, we spotted some people out here.

you want to be careful if you're coming out here. we spotted a group of five on several bikes an hour ago. this time of morning, these car. if you don't have to come outside, don't do it. stay inside. back to you. >> thank you. be safe. demarco morgan in galveston, texas. let's get the latest on hurricane harvey and where it is heading. megan is here with the forecast. good morning. >> good morning to you, dana. we are looking at a major situation here. in and of the fact it made landfall as a category four. look at, as a category one, it still maintains its structure. still looks much as it did over the open waters of the gulf of mexico. though the eye or center of circulation is now over land. what that does is provide friction. it's weakened the storm but it is still pulling in moisture. the moisture is coming courtesy of the gulf of mexico. that'll be a problem for days.

wind speeds to 90 miles an hour. it is crawling at 6 miles per hour. let's take a hook look at the f cast. it does not move much. it sits, it spins, it continues pulling in these intense showers and storms for days here. this is taking us through the end of the day today. watch as we go through time. into monday, into tuesday, potentially wednesday, we're still pulling in the gulf moisture. this is a situation that is going to continue. we'll still continue to see winds, as well. they should lessen as we lose a little bit of the tropical characteristics of this through days and days of sitting and churning here over texas. however, there are several possible scenarios as we look at what could happen moving into the next few days. a couple possible paths for this. different models showing us different ways that this could move. this is one here. shows it coming back out over the open waters of the gull f o mexi mexico. this happens, it is likely to restrengthen, using the fuel of the warm sea surface

temperatures over the gulf, then make another landfall, potentially pushing inland again, all the while still raining. there is a factor that takes it back on off to the west. any of these scenarios is going to mean a massive amount of rain all across portions of texas. we're talking about 20, 30, poss miab -- possibly 40 inches of rain in some areas. this is a threat that is going to continue not just through the weekend but into much of next week. anthony? >> meteorologist from our chicago station. thank you so much. at this early hour, while it may look like residents escaped the worst of it, a huge part of the danger and cost of a hurricane can come in the days and months after the storm. it's not just from flooding. power outages are a major concern, especially when it comes to hot and humid weather that follow hose the storm. temperatures next week are expected to be in the 90s. some people may be without electricity for weeks. post-storm illnesses may be the most serious concern. among the deaths in texas in

2008 from hurricane ike, 31% were due to illness. 18% due to carbon monoxide poisoning. 16% due to cardiovascular failure. other deaths came from fires and tree cutting. another problem is the lack of flood insurance. a report by texas officials found that 61% of the households that sustained flood damages during hurricane ike were uninsured. >> also in the path of hurricane harvey are key facilities for some of the nation's fuel supply. hundreds of oil refineries, pipelines and oil wells are spread along the texas gulf coast. there could be fuel shortages as a result of the storm. hurricane has already pushed up gasoline prices in some places. dp gas stations in the area were running out of fuel azors resids fled for safety. >> stay with us on this station and our streaming service cbsn.

updates are available on cbs news.com. president trump is facing sharp criticism for granting a pardon to the former sheriff of arizona. he gained notoriety for his aggressive action to arrest immigrants. >> lawmakers and civil rights advocates are questioning the president's decision and its timing. to clear arpaio of possible jail time. he was scheduled to be sentenced in october. >> reporter: good morning. while the pardon itself comes as no surprise, democrat and republican senators, as well as a few civil rights organizations, are all slamming president trump's decision. one group going as far as to call the move a defense of racism. >> sheriff joe can feel good. >> reporter: president trump eluded to his impending pardon at a rally in phoenix on

tuesday. >> do the people in this room like sheriff joe? was sheriff joe convicted for doing his job? >> reporter: arkansaspaio was convicted last month, defying a judge's order to stop detaining people solely on the suspicion they were in the country illegally. it was a practice criticized as racially profiling latinos. in a white house statement, president trump applauded arpaio for, quote, his life's work, protecting the public from crime and illegal immigration. and said after more than 50 years of admiral service to our nation, he is worthy of a presidential pardon. cbs news has learned that pardon was driven by the white house and did not follow typical department of justice guidelines. it requires at least a five-year threshold before the agency can remove a clemency petition.

the department of justice said the president exercised his lawful authority and we respect his decision. the former sheriff thanked the president and said he'd hold a news conference next week to tell his side of the story. >>pardon, i'll be with him till the end. i mean that. i'll let the true story come out about the views of the judicial system and politics. >> reporter: the decision has outraged civil rights organizations like the aclu. it called the pardon an endorsement of racism and that by pardoning arpaio, trump has chosen division over unity, hurt over healing. now arizona's republican senators, john mccain and jeff flake, both denounced president trump's decision. all of this happened while staff at the white house were dealing with yet another staff shakeup. it was announced friday the president's deputy assistant is no longer with the administration. one official explaining that he

did not resign. dana? >> another busy night at the who white house. north korea fired several short-range rockets off its east coast this morning in its effort to test its missile and nuclear launching abilities. this as kim jong-un overseas military training exercises and shows no signs of restraint. the u.s. says none of the missiles in this latest test posed a threat to the u.s. territory of guam. two flew 155155 miles. another blew up immediately. u.s. and south korea continue with their drills, which the north claims is preparation for war. hurricane harvey, president trump with the political storm that always seems to be brewing in washington. let's start with the pardon of sheriff arpaio, who as was mentioned, has been denounced by both republican senators in as.

what do you think the political fallout from doing this right as the hurricane was about to hit landfall? >> it is a continuation of his political strategy, moving to the base. obviously, fallout from democrats. fallout from the establishment republicans. but something very popul yoular fallout from the establishment republicans. but something very popul youla the base. the rally in phoenix, a message to the base. we say this is hurting your agenda in washington, hurting your poll numbers but there is no sign of wavering among the base. even among republicans, you have around 75% who have a favorable view of this president. so 2018, there's already can dates, p -- candidates, pro-trump candidates to primary. if only you have a small slice of people in this country supporting the president, but if they show up for a republican primary, it'll get him more favorable supporters in

congress. even if it means the republicans lose the majority, it is a bigger strategy of blowing up this republican establishment. >> the president has a test right now in the hurricane. this news came as it was hitting. how big of a test is this for his administration? >> well, hurricanes have not been good traditionally for republican presidents. we can go back to andrew with george h.w. bush. katrina with george w bush. even mitt romney as a candidate, could be argued he was hurt by sandy coming through before the election. there are hundreds of positions still vacant in the federal government. one of those is not the fema director. there is a fema director in there. general kelly, who came from dhs, now obviously has a direct line to the president. i think that will help, as well. but there is a long history of presidents being hurt by these type of natural disasters. it is going to be something to keep our eye on, if this storm unfortunately keeps on the course it's on. >> another story that broke last night is that sebastian gorka, a

deputy assistant to the president, is no longer a part of the white house. this slipped out quietly. what happened here, you think? >> this is a continuation of the fall of the bannon wing of this administration. gorka was, i think, had a bit more media coverage that warranted his role. he reported to steve bannon and was part of the nationalist movement within the white house. can bannon gone, it was only a matter of time before he left, as well. the president liked him on tv, so he did a bit of tv, but he was never really in the inner circle of advisers to the president. >> one of the other stories, north korea. another missile launched. what else can be said on this from this administration? >> i was just talking to people earlier this week who actually were saying, well, maybe that fire and fury statement actually worked because look how quiet north korea has been lately. now we have this. no one really knows what comes next in the playbook. diplomatically, not only through this administration but every

other administration, we've really run the course on north korea. where we do from here, i think people are, you know, scratching their heads, what comes next. >> shannon, thank you so much for being with us this morning. tomorrow morning on "face the nation" here on cbs, major garrett will be filling in for john dickerson. major's guests will include bernie sanders, independent of vermont. it's about 22 after the hour. here's a look at the weather for your weekend. we know how dangerous hurricanes can be, but what are the forces that combine to make them such a threat to life and property? coming up, a look at how hurricanes develop and why some think the storms will get worse. later, the trash talking and

posturing have been laughable, but there's nothing funny about a billion dollars on the line. we'll look at the money and mayhem fueling tonight's highly anticipated mayweather/mcgregor fight. you're watching "cbs this morning" saturday. who are these people? the energy conscious people among us say small actions can add up to something... humongous. a little thing here. a little thing there. starts to feel like a badge maybe millions can wear. who are all these caretakers, advocates too? turns out, it's californians

it's me and it's you. don't stop now, it's easy to add to the routine. join energy upgrade california and do your thing.

president trump's pardoning of former sheriff arpaio is controversial and unperes departmented. we'll talk to a legal expert about why the move was highly unusual. plus, its discovery 72 years after its sinking made a lot of news. its real history is more amazing. we'll recall the harrowing story of the sailors who survived the navy's worst ever disaster at sea. you're watching "cbs this morning" saturday.

how would you describe how cyber hacking hurt the hillary clinton campaign? >> first of all, as matt said, it is important to recognize hillary's campaign was probably the most prominent example but this has been happening and it's happened to both parties. what was different and the way the threat evolved is they're stealing information and putting it out into the press. as matt said, we want candidates to get out there and talk about the issues. we want them to be heard. we want the american people to get the full debate. if we allow foreign countries to steal information and push it out, we're not going to have the debate and let the foreign countries decide what we're talking about. we can't do that. >> what concerns you most, matt, when you look at future elections? >> obviously, it is a bipartisan problem. i worry not as much about the next presidential campaign in 2020. i worry about that rising star.

you can see a barack obama or george w. bush coming a mile away. if some hacker were to go into their e-mails and misconstrue some exchange, it can alter history. >> what do you hope to change? other than a white paper put on a shelf. >> exactly. we want to do something tangible. one thing we're working on is putting together a document that can be shared and used by republican campaigns and democrat campaigns. a playbook of best practices from a cyber security standpoint. you have to remember, especially down ballot campaigns, in the movies, they're portrayed as glamorous places. they're not. they're usually a bunch of young kids, rag tag organizations. they all bring their laptops to work. somebody gets assigned to be the digital director/i.t. director.

♪ hurricane harvey made landfall as a category four storm, making it the first major hurricane to hit the u.s. in nearly 12 years. the last time was in october of 2005, when hurricane wilma came ashore as a category three storm on florida's gulf coast. wilma caused $20 billion in damage and killed at least five people. exactly one month earlier, hurricane rita barrelled into the texas gulf coast and louisiana as a category three storm. more than 3 million people evacuated along the texas coast when rita struck. louisiana was also still suffering from the aftermath of hurricane katrina, which made landfall on august 29th, 2005.

that category three storm swamped new orleans and caused more than 1800 deaths and $100 billion in damage. so what causes hurricanes like harvey to form in the first place? here is a cbs news science contributor and city of new york physics progressor. good morning. >> glad to be on the show. >> when you look at the storm as it sits hanging over texas, what concerns you most about harvey? >> first of all, if it lingers over the land, it can cause massive flooding. then watch out, if it goes back into the gull, it can be reenergized and create a second, even a third landfall. so the agony has just begun with this hurricane of the decade. >> let's talk about the science behind hurricanes. how actually do they form? >> believe it or not, a hurricane is like a bowling ball. they form off the coast of africa as a small breeze. they gather energy as they gather warm water across the

atlantic. if it comes in just right, it'll get a strike. it'll go into the gulf of mexico, will energized by the warm water, or it can be a gutter ball and veer off in the wrong direction. this hurricane right went through, into the gulf, got energized by the warm water and now hitting -- >> the fuel of the warm water. what about the speed because it was moving faster and slowed down. what's the impact there? >> when it hits landfall, you have friction. plus, it is no longer energized by the warm water beneath it. velocity drops it. goes from a category four to category one within a matter of hours after it hits landfall. watch out, if it gets back into the water, it reenergizes and the nightmare starts again. >> even in a category one, we're still dealing with flooding and storm surges, yes? >> remember the gulf of mexico is 2 degrees warmer than normal. that has set off alarm bells in washington. just last month, the government

issued a warning, stating that because of the warm waters off the gulf of mexico, this hurricane season, which goes on until the end of november, could be one of the worst in memory. so watch out. there could be more monster hurricanes to come. >> that's the theory that climate change is impacting all of this. >> we're not sure, okay. however, there's no smoking gun. but it is consistent with the fact that the gulf is warming up, and that is the energy that is driving these monster hurricanes. according to the government, this hurricane season, watch out. >> right. >> we've been talk about storm surges all morning. what exactly causes a tomorrow surge? >> storm surges could be 12, 13 feet tall. the waves that are whipped around at 130 miles an hour, landfall, sometimes they get bunked up as they go toward land. that's why you get these huge, monster waves hitting the coast, coming in at 130 miles an hour. >> i feel like we've talked a lot about some of the different storms that hit.

maybe some of it is comparison. take something like super storm sandy in comparison to harvey or even katrina. can you make a comparison with those? >> yes. sandy caused about $70 billion in property damage. it was only a category three, but it went right up the northeast, causing tremendous flooding and damage in a heavily populated and very densely populated area. >> right. >> katrina was category five. it had property damage of about $100 billion. it actually created cracks in the levies, which then flooded new orleans. here, we don't have that situation. i think it is going to be up there. it is going to be up there perhaps among the top ten. >> why do you say that? >> because this hurricane is a monster hurricane. it is 130 miles per hour wind. it is lingering. it's stationary right now. it could cause flooding, blackouts, evacuations, and it could get reenergized again. we're just seeing the beginning of the agony.

>> doctor, thank you for being with us this morning. time to show you some of this morning's headlines. the "washington post" reports an intensive search is underway for a u.s. service member who is missing after a blackhawk helicopter crashed in the sea during a training exercise off yemen friday. u.s. military officials say five other soldiers aboard the helicopter were rescued. the cause of the crash is under investigation. the u.s. is conducting operations targeting al qaeda in yemen. the "guardian" of london said soldiers killed a knife-wielding man in brussels. officials are calling it a terrorist attack and are not raising the already heightened threat level. they believe the suspect, who had no known ties to terror groups, acted alone. the soldiers were not seriously injured. the "economist" reports ousted strategist steve bannon may be out of the white house but he is still planning on fighting for president trump.

bannon's return to running his breitbart news says he plans on training his fire on senate majority leader mitch mcconnell and other republicans who were critical of the administration. bannon says he plans to, quote, light up mcconnell and help shake up the 2018 elections. the ""san francisco chronicle"" reports security concerns are high though a right-winged group has a scheduled conference instead of a rally today. officials put in a slate of security measures to avoid a repeat of the deadly demonstration in charlottesville, virginia. authorities are focused on keeping the peace with protesters still expected at that news conference.

the vet's #1 choice. ♪ the legal and political worlds are reacting forcefully to president trump's controversial pardon of joe arpaio. the former sheriff was convicted last month of criminal contempt for violating a judge's order not to detain people suspected of being undocumented immigrants. >> arpaio was to be sentenced in october. he faced up to six months if jail. joining us from our washington

bureau to discuss the pardon is a law professor at george washington university. jonathan, good morning. >> thank you. >> you know, we've seen presidential pardons before. this isn't new. but why is this one unusual? >> well, it is unusual in a number of respects. first, it is very early. presidents often get to pardon toward end of their terms, particularly when they're heading out the door. and the second reason is that this is a relatively minor offense. you're talking about sentencing that would be equivalent to a misdemeanor. third, presidents usually wait until after sentencing to see what a court ultimately hands down, in terms of punishment. all of those things, obviously, were departed from here. the biggest difference is that it does appear that president trump circumvented the normal process. it does not appear that the department of justice and their pardon office weighed in here or

siep si signed off on this pardon, and that is important. the justice department is in a position to look at the cases and put them in context. >> the department of justice has specific guidelines for pardons, does it not? is a president bound by those guidelines? >> he's not. the pardon power is almost absolutely. i say almost because there is a limitation on its use in cases of impeachment. but what is troubling for some of us about this pardon is not the application to the immigration controversy. the most troubling thing is that this is really about the rule of law. a court issued an order to a sheriff. he disobeyed that order. not just for a week. it's not like he did a couple of arrests and finally got the message. he ignored it for 17 months. and it is very important for police officers to comply with court orders. they sign warrants. they limit abuse. it is a dangerous world if law enforcement just flagrantly

disregards the orders. >> what about the message this sends to other government official, as you talk about the fact this was a disregard? >> it sends a troubling message, and it is certainly not going to help president trump's greatly deteriorated relationship with judiciary. this is the coin of the realm. judicial order and compliance with orders is what holds our system together. having said that, in fairness to the administration, other presidents have engaged in political pardons. bill clinton abused pardons to a greater degree. used it for his own family, friends, political donors. frankly, it was disgusting at the end of his term. but this is nonetheless troubling in a different way. you know, the thing that holds us together as a nation committed to the rule of law is our belief that we comply with these types of court orders. we can appeal them. we can disagree with them. we can challenge them. but you comply as long as

they're valid. for a law enforcement official to disregard a court order is a dangerous thing. >> laurence tribe, a fellow constitutional law professional at harvard said friday, arpaio's pardon gives the middle finger to courts and the constitution and signals contempt for the rule of law and for human decen decency. >> i think larry's point is a good one. i think that we have to move beyond the subject and the controversy underlying this case. we can disagree about immigration, but we have to play by the rules. and the most important one is that we have a court system to challenge these types of things. now, it is true, this is an 85-year-old man. someone who had not committed an early offense. spent a lot of time in public service. all of that is factored in generally at sentencing. indeed, president trump could have negated the sentence. he could have allowed this to go forward. if he did that, arpaio could appeal his conviction but not face any jail time.

long here in victoria. in fact, just in the last few minutes, we could actually hear what appear to be debris clanging up against cars and things that are just outside this area where we are right now. you can just really see right now these trees behind me. really starting to bend down, bend over, as this wind continues to pummel this area. the power is out. transformers started to blow around 2:00 a.m. here. people are seeking shelter in the lobby of the hotel where we are broadcasting from. they're trying to get away from the windows. the situation really deterior e deteriorating here right now in this part of texas, as hurricane harvey continues to churn inland. as dangerous as the wind situation is right now, the big problem for so many places throughout texas will be the rainfall. expected to be record amounts in some areas. i can tell you right now, where we are in victoria, 16 inches of rain have fallen just in the last 24 hours. again, strong winds out here.

we're hearing what appears to be more and more debris just flying through the area here where we are in victoria. you can't see it right now. we're trying to remain as safe as we can. but we can definitely hear it. so we'll keep monitoring the situation here and let you know how this progresses. >> manuel, you were saying before that you felt hotel swaying? >> reporter: that's right. you know, and that is what really alerted us to come downstairs and get into the lobby. that the hurricane was approaching. you could feel the hotel -- it was almost like a minor earthquake. things shake and rattle because the building is swaying. but the windows also start to rattle. that's when people started to heed the warning to get downstairs and away from windows. you can tell, you know, and it is intermittent, but this is the kind of hurricane strength wind that will topple things over. we can hear it in the background. but it will also break windows.

that's why people board them up. anyone who didn't do that right now is experiencing the wrath of harvey. >> manuel in victoria, texas, be careful out there. thanks. hurricane harvey has caused significant damage along a big part of the texas coast. president trump tweeted this morning, closely monitoring hurricane harvey from camp david. we are leaving nothing to chance. city, state and federal governments working great together. the storm is heading northeawes and the winds decreased to 100 miles per hour. demarco morgan is in galveston. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. the rain pick ued up since the last time we spoke an hour ago. 40 to 50-mile-per-hour winds. look at this palm tree right here. it should give you a good gauge of just how the winds are blowing out here. when you look at the ocean, you can see the high tide. it is continuing to come into this area. a major threat for this area is also storm surge and flooding. before we talk about that, we

want to let everybody know in southeast texas that you are under a tornado watch until at least 1:00 p.m. local time this afternoon. keep that in mind. when it comes to flooding, galveston could break a record for five-day rainfall set in 1900. there could be flooding damage to home and businesses in the galveston area. also in houston. be very careful. streets will likely be blocked for several days. on the boulevard peninsula, not far from here, a wind-fueled fire damaged three homes. it is not immediately clear if the homes were occupied, but it was extremely dangerous. pretty much anything can happen when you have a hurricane. a mixture of tornadoes, high winds, heavy rains, you want to be careful. again, a reminder for the people in southeast texas. you are under a tornado watch until 1:00 p.m. make sure you are packed and ready and able to get to a safe place at moment's notice. this is not a game, people. back to you. >> demarco in galveston, thanks

rainfall to come. let's take a look at what we're going to deal with in terms of additional rainfalli coming in with this. even if it moves back over the gulf and restrengthens, we're still pulling in the moisture. if it stays over the state of texas, still pulling in the moisture. we're looking at rainfall totals that could include in this white shaded area here upwards of three feet of rain. perhaps as much as 40 inches of rainfall. i want to show you the national hurricane center track. if you've ever looked at a hurricane before and you look at the track, what we often see is a cone. we call it the cone of error. this time around, it does this. the cone is more like a circle. it is just going to sit and meander over portions of texas. tapping into an unlimited source of moisture. we're talking about days on hen of rain. could top 40 inches in spots. >> megan, thank you. as we reported, about 7 million people live in harvey's path, and they are going to need help in the days, weeks and

to help out. it is early, but what advice would you give? >> volunteers are always going to be needed all of the time. the red cross depends on financial donations to survive. people can help by texting the word "harvey" to 90999 to make a $10 donation. >> how long an effort are you preparing for down there, stephanie? >> we are preparing for the long haul. as we know, disasters are chaotic and unpredictable. harvey is going to dump a lot of moisture here. texas is going to be flooded for a while. we'll be prepared to help people as long as needed. >> do you have a sense of what this may compare to as far as other disaster or hurricane relief? >> each disaster is different. every time, unexpected things happen. so really the focus is on what is happening right here now with harvey and right here in texas. that's where our focus area is now. >> what is your biggest concern then there right now? >> our biggest concern is making

sure that everyone has the shelter they need. that people are evacuating. what woe're doing is working wih our local emergency management, the government officials and community partners to make sure we have the shelters open and people have a safe place to stay and a warm meal to eat. >> stephanie, thanks very much for joining us this morning. >> thank you. stay with cbs news as we bring you continuing coverage of hurricane harvey throughout the day on this cbs station and on our digital streaming service, cbsn. it is about ten after the hour. here's a look at the weather for your weekend. it was the worst disaster in the history of the u.s. navy. now, with its wreckage

from swarms of sharks. >> a shark would be coming through the group, and he would take someone fairly close to you. take him under. >> reporter: 72 years later and 18,000 feet below the ocean's surface, the iron hull of the indianapolis has been discovered. >> that's it, paul. we've got it. >> reporter: an underwater expedition, spearheaded by microsoft co-founder paul allen, located the ship last weekend. >> for the first time, you can point at a place on the globe and say, here's where this ship is. we can now memorialize it. >> reporter: doug spent years interviewing the crew of the indianapolis for his book "in harm's way." he says many of the survivors share a common trait. >> at some point, they had been pushed to such a brink, a precipice, that this experience of floating in this void of an ocean was a crucible. they were really being asked, like, who am i? >> reporter: the story of the indianapolis has inspired

movies, television shows and books. >> lost 100 men. i don't know how many sharks. maybe 1,000. >> reporter: robert shaw's character in "jaws" gives a monologue about the terrors the sailors faced. >> lifeless eyes, black eyes, like a doll's eye. >> reporter: the film's popularity may have helped some of the survivors begin to heal. >> that's one of the first ways they really dealt with their own feelings about this experience. also, you know, that movie is important because it is the first time indianapolis moves into the american consciousness. >> reporter: for the men of the indianapolis, the ordeal of july and august 1945 never drifted far from their consciousness. but the discovery of the ship and final resting place for so many of their shipmates may provide the closure they've sought throughout the decades. >> it still leaves open the trauma of that experience, but

the fact that we found the ship now, that brings closure to the story of the indianapolis. >> reporter: for "cbs this morning" saturday, new york. >> so glad some of the vet rera are still around. >> saying the trauma will continue but you have the closing chapter to one part of the story. >> our producer said the book "in harm's way," one of the scariest books he's ever read. >> which is a good endorsement right there. i will be downloading. 20 years ago this week, her untimely death shocked the world. up next, we'll look back at the legacy of the people's princess and show you how her trials and triumphs endeared her to the world. you're watching "cbs this morning saturday."
