to investigate the behavior. captioning spo ptioning sponsored by cbs >> o'donnell: as harvey rages, houston's response is called into question. thousands are rescued with shelters bursting at the seams. we were here just 48 hours ago, and there were only 700 people. now there's more than 9,000 people. >> honestly, my baby slept on the floor. >> o'donnell: the death toll rises with a houston police officer among the dead. >> we couldn't find him. it was too treacherous to go under and look for him. >> o'donnell: president trump visits the storm zone. >> this is historic, it's epic, what happened. but you know what? it happened in texas, and texas can handle anything. >> o'donnell: also tonight, the president says all options are on the table after north korea's latest missile launch.

this is the "cbs evening news." >> o'donnell: good evening. along with anthony mason in new york, i'm norah o'donnell in houston, texas. we are outside the george r. brown convention center. it is the city's primary shelter where thousands who fled harvey are jammed together at double capacity. we're going to have more on that in a moment. but some of the other headlines from today. 17,000 have sought refuge in houston. preparations are now being made tonight to try and open larger shelters. also today, two reservoirs overflowed, sending more water into neighborhoods. >> mason: the preliminary death toll is four, including a houston police officer. harvey has set a new record for most rainfall from a single storm, nearly 52 inches in cedar bayou.

the storm has dumped 19 trillion gallons of water just since last friday. that's 1.5 million gallons for every person in south texas. tropical storm harvey, once a category four hurricane, is expected to make another landfall overnight in louisiana. and, norah, your reporting on the shelter was one of the first indications that perhaps things weren't going as well as we'd been told. >> o'donnell: well, anthony, we saw it firsthand, our reporting, what happens to the people inside when the shelter doubles in capacity. the red cross, they are doing an amazing job there. but there are just too many people who are in want and need of some of the most basic human items. did you sleep here last night? >> i sat up here last night. >> o'donnell: they didn't have a bed for you? >> my babies are on the floor. >> o'donnell: how many babies? >> three. >> o'donnell: we first met michelle lavan a mother of three earlier this morning.

she arrived last night after her family was rescued in a dump truck. >> welcome to my new home. >> o'donnell: this is your new home. >> yes. >> o'donnell: michelle invited us to take another look this afternoon, where now more than 9,000 people are living inside the shelter. we discovered not much has changed, though she did find a mattress. >> deflated air mattress. >> o'donnell: why can't you blow up the air mattress. >> we don't have a pump. >> o'donnell: shaniqua cooper also arrived here last night with her husband and six kids. they also had no beds when they arrived. the kids slept on the floor. do you think the city should have been more prepared? >> yes. i feel like they should have been more prepared because i watched the news from the day that they said the hurricane was in the water, up until the water came in my house. and when the mayor said, "don't leave." he didn't think it was going to be that bad. i'm like, okay. so, but after that, when it started coming in, i just knew it was a lot. >> o'donnell: people have arrived here with only the

clothes on their backs and sometimes no shoes. donations are pouring in with more than 1,000 volunteers here doing all they can. this is abby. she's a volunteer. you can see she's kind of queen of the mountain. she's sitting atop all these clothes because she's searching for extra-large men's and women's clothes-- pants, shirts, whatever-- because there's a shortage. the red cross was told to prepare to shelter 5,000 but acknowledged they are overwhelmed. charles maltbie is running this shelter for the red cross. how's it going? >> it's going as well as it can be with the conditions. we're meeting the immediate emergency needs of all the clients. and we're just keeping up. >> o'donnell: "just keeping up," charles said. he also told me one reason they didn't have enough beds last night for michelle and shaniqua and other families like theirs, is because a supply truck got caught in the floodwaters, and the driver had to be rescued.

tonight, cbs news has learned 20 truckloads full of emergency supplies and more cots are on their way from all over the country. the challenge? getting them inside downtown houston. also today, mark strassmann had sharp questions for houston's mayor about how the city prepared for harvey. >> reporter: water rescues have created daily drama in a city that has found hell and high water. but houston's mayor stands by his decision not to evacuate america's fourth largest city. mayor sylvester turner: >> you cannot evacuate 6.5 million people. within two days. you cannot. that would be chaotic. >> reporter: it was chaotic and deadly in september 2005. 3.7 million people in the houston area evacuated from hurricane rita. in the gridlock, more than 60 evacuees died, many from heatstroke. with harvey, people here stayed put.

thousands have had to save themselves and ended up in crowded shelters. have you done enough to take care of the folks who were told to stay put? >> the city of houston has been impacted by an inordinate amount of rain that fell on the city of houston. >> reporter: but then what is the plan for those six million- plus people? >> we've asked people to prepare, and they did. i'm going to allow all the people on social media and talking heads to talk, but they don't have the responsibility of managing or running this city. i do. ep reporter: flooding has closed highways and roads all over houston, and getting supplies into the city has been a logistical nightmare. we followed four walmart trucks carrying donated food and water to the city's overcrowded convention center. it took the trucks two days to get here, but living space for all the evacuees left no room to unload the supplies.

>> number one, let me assure you it's going to be improved today. >> reporter: can you guarantee that the supply chains of food, water, cots are going to get through to that center in time for these folks? >> we have made a request on fema for an additional 10,000 cots and additional supplies. and we have said that we need them to get here as soon as possible. >> reporter: fema officials say they're aware of the needs here at the convention center and city officials say they planned to open three more shelters, including the toyota 7 -- center and astrodome, mark strassmann, cbs news, houston. >> the houston police >> o'donnell: all right, mark strassmann, thank you so much. the houston police officer who was killed was identified today as sergeant steve perez. he drowned in his patrol car sunday. houston police chief art acevedo said perez's wife didn't want him to go to work, but he wanted to go do his job. >> so, we couldn't find him. and once our dive team got there it was too treacherous to go under and look for him. so we made a decision to leave

officers there waiting until the morning because as much as we wanted to recover him last night, we could not put more officers at risk for what we knew in our hearts was going to be a recovery mission. we kept his wife apprised, even though we had a high probability that he was gone. we don't-- we always hold on to hope. ng a morning at 8:00 a.m., the dive team was out there again, which was their number one priority, and within 20 minutes they found him. >> o'donnell: sergeant perez was 60 years old. he spent 34 years on the force. houston's flood control system has been stretched to the breaking point. today, two reservoirs overflowed and a levee failed, sending more water into neighborhoods where people are still trying to escape. david begnaud has more reporting on that.

>> reporter: the people living in kingwood border lake houston, and they didn't have much time to evacuate. they are being inundated by overflow from five nearby creeks, a river, and a dam. dozens of civilian samaritans waded in chest-high water as boats arrived one after the other, carrying residents escaping the high-rising floodwater. nick hawk from dallas rescued countless people he doesn't even know. the only reason he stopped? >> my 19-foot boat capsized. next thing i know i looked up, it's me and the sheriff underneath the boat, and we both looked like we were going to die. >> reporter: most everyone got out with just the clothes on their back. >> you want that off, don't you? >> reporter: and their animals. this deer was found in distress. adelaida stano and her husband, matt, took these pictures of their apartment complex that has been ground zero for rescues. >> there's no power, alarms ringing all night long. so it was just bad. >> reporter: in west houston today, we were live on cbsn, when water started rising quickly. you hear this officer says the

water is coming up. it's time to go. >> come on, the water is coming up! >> reporter: so we're going to listen to what he's saying. we're going to pack up and head out. officials warned it was flowing uncontrollably from the nearby baker reservoir, and a second reservoir just north of there, leaving homes with three feet of water in them. back in kingwood, camille gandara confirmed what we'd all seen. >> the worst. there's no video that's going to say how bad. i mean, we lost everything. >> reporter: the rescues went on for nearly ten hours today. the people we talked to said folks are still at that apartment complex. people on the third floor who have said, "we're going to ride it out." but, norah, everyone who wanted out has been rescued. >> o'donnell: david begnaud, thank you so much. even with evacuation shelters overcrowded and ill equipped, today president trump defended federal and texas emergency management officials during a visit to the storm zone. here's jamie yuccas.

>> reporter: in corpus christi, president donald trump was optimistic about the response to hurricane harvey. >> we're going to get you back and operating immediately. it's epic what happened, but, you know, what? it happened in texas, and texas can handle anything. >> reporter: as he was leaving a local firehouse, he waved a texas flag that had been plucked from marcos garza in the crowd of a few hundred. >> he held up my flag! this is crazy. i'm going to cry. >> reporter: he was joined by officials from fema and the red cross, as well as texas governor greg abbott. >> we won't say congratulations. we don't want to do that. we'll congratulate each other when it's all finished, but you have been terrific. >> reporter: the president and first lady also stopped in austin to get a look at the statewide operations. >> nobody's ever seen anything this long, and nobody's ever seen this much water. >> reporter: the president pledged to work with congress to send federal dollars. >> probably there's never been

anything so expensive in our country's history. >> reporter: mr. trump was anxious to get to texas, trying to avoid the criticism that president george w. bush faced when he initially flew over new orleans after hurricane katrina rather than visiting louisiana. mr. trump did stay away from the hardest hit areas. corpus christi resident kenneth hamm. >> i understand the logistics of it. you don't want to gunk up rockport and aransas pass with a whole lot of extra traffic. it makes sense. >> reporter: as people begin to think about the rebuilding process, many are now questioning president trump's decision to roll back regulations on construction that would protect homes from rising sea levels. norah. >> o'donnell: all right, jamie yuccas, thank you. we're going to have much more reporting from here in houston, but for now, let's go back to anthony mason in new york. >> mason: thanks for the great reporting down there, norah. tonight, harvey is on the move again. scott padgett is chief meteorologist at ktvt, our cbs station in dallas-fort worth. scott, where is it headed? >> it's headed to the north-

northeast, picking up a little bit of forward speed and looking at the radar image, a little glimmer of hope is on the west side of harris county just west of houston drying out. these rainfall rates you see in the light-green color, about a tenth of an inch of rain per hour. heavy rain is just off to the east. near beaumont, rainfall rates of about two inches of rain per hour. the dry air getting pulled into harvey. harvey is pushing its way slowly to the north and northeast but the tropical storm warnings remain in effect through parts of louisiana, port arthur, near morgan city. the forecast track has harvey making a third landfall by later on tonight into the early morning hours as a tropical storm. then, downgrading to a tropical depression and tropical low into parts of kentucky and tennessee. near port arthur and possibly near lake charles another seven to six inches of rain. even alexandria and monroe could see flooding rains as we go through the next couple of days but harvey will be a thing of the past as a system as we go through the end of the week and into the weekend, anthony.

>> mason: we look forward to that. scott padgett, of ktvt. thanks. hurricane harvey is all too familiar for victims of hurricane katrina. michelle miller is in louisiana. >> reporter: we are headed toward lake charles, louisiana, about three hours east of houston. it is bracing itself as tropical storm harvey should make landfall tomorrow morning. the rain in lake charles has been steady the last four days, but last night it became dangerous. nearly 200 residents were forced to evacuate, some 600 national guardsmen here have been put on harvey duty. now, remember that hurricane katrina did not impact this region, tenitugus'st and speaking of katrina, this is the 12th anniversary of that horrific storm, and as harvey moves its way east, new orleans is in its path. that city is without 12 of its

drainage pumps. anthony. >> mason: michelle miller in louisiana. thanks. and coming up next on the "cbs evening news," president trump warns north korea after firing a ballistic missile over japan. it's been month after month of fiber. weeks taking probiotics! days and nights of laxatives, only to have my symptoms return. (vo) if you've had enough, tell your doctor what you've tried and how long you've been at it. linzess works differently from laxatives. linzess treats adults with ibs with constipation or chronic constipation. it can help relieve your belly pain, and lets you have more frequent and complete bowel movements that are easier to pass. do not give linzess to children less than six, and it should not be given to children six to less than 18. it may harm them. don't take linzess if you have a bowel blockage. get immediate help if you develop unusual or severe stomach pain, especially with bloody or black stools.

the most common side effect is diarrhea, sometimes severe. if it's severe, stop taking linzess and call your doctor right away. other side effects include gas, stomach-area pain, and swelling. talk to your doctor about managing your symptoms proactively with linzess. except when it comes to retirement. at fidelity, you get a retirement score in just 60 seconds. and we'll help you make decisions for your plan... to keep you on track. it's your retirement. know where you stand. to keep you on track. patrick woke up with a sore back. but he's got work to do. so he took aleve this morning. if he'd taken tylenol, he'd be stopping for more pills right now. only aleve has the strength to stop tough pain for up to 12 hours with just one pill. tylenol can't do that. aleve. all day strong. all day long.

when heartburn hits fight back fast with tums chewy bites. fast relief in every bite. crunchy outside. chewy inside. tum tum tum tum tums chewy bites. >> mason: president trump said today north korea's latest missile test signals contempt for its neighbors and the world. the intermediate-range ballistic missile flew directly over japan yesterday, before splashing down in the pacific. ben tracy is in tokyo. ( sirens ) >> reporter: an early-morning warning siren is how people in northern japan learned a north korean ballistic missile was soaring over their heads. millions more received a text message saying "missile passing. please take cover." a rattled japanese prime minister shinzo abe called the missile launch reckless and a grave threat.

the japanese military promptly deployed a surface-to-air missile launcher at a u.s. military base in tokyo. south korea responded by scrambling f-15 fighter jets, which conducted practice bombing runs. it also released rare footage of its own missile test conducted last week. in an unusual move, the north korean missile was fired from near the capital of pyongyang, likely from a mobile launch pad. that complicates any potential preemptive strike by the u.s. because it places north korea's missiles in unpredictable and potentially highly populated areas. ( cheers ) just last week, president trump inferred that his tough talk on north korea was changing kim jong-un's behavior. >> i respect the fact that i believe he is starting to respect us. i respect that fact. >> reporter: but since that speech, north korea has now fired four missiles.

north korean state media just released a new statement and it is calling this missile launch over japan "muscle flexing" in tsponse to the u.s. and south korean joint military exercises currently taking place on the korean peninsula. anthony. >> mason: ben tracy reporting from tokyo. thanks, ben. still ahead, a televangelist changes his mind and opens his doors to storm victims. xeljanz xr. a once daily pill for adults with moderate to severe ra for whom methotrexate did not work well. xeljanz xr can reduce pain, swelling and joint damage, even without methotrexate. xeljanz xr can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal infections, lymphoma and other cancers have happened. don't start xeljanz xr if you have an infection. tears in the stomach or intestines,

>> mason: the houston megachurch led by televangelist joel osteen opened its doors to victims of harvey today. this followed days of social media criticism aimed at osteen for not offering the 16,000-seat arena as a storm shelter. in a facebook post sunday, the church said it was inaccessible because of severe flooding. but photos shared online showed it had escaped the worst. this morning, osteen tweeted that he and his wife "cared deeply about our fellow houstonians."
