is the fact that we do have that rain fall making its way in here and making its way away from the houston region, that's very good news. let's take a look and show you what i'm talking about, down in and around the houston area, around the new orleans region. you can see it right along i-10 and continuing all the way towards tallahassee. this is a big storm, now, as it becomes post tropical by the afternoon tomorrow. but still expected to become an impression as hi moves on through parts of louisiana. you notice in houston, still raining, where amelia is which is about right here it has been raining all day. the heaviest rain has stayed offshore. so what houston has, that's about all they're going to get. the rain is going to go and the flooding is foing going to contn many areas. for us, completely different storm system, this was national hurricane center, thought this could be tropical storm irma. it's more of a nor'easter in our

it was such a wonderful sight to see. in addition to that, i want to mention, i did post this picture on instagram, facebook and twitter, word got out that the coast guard is staying here. so we have seen people that are able to bringing in piles of food, pizza, water, brisket, anything you name it, to thank the coast guard. it's just been truly heartwarming to see the community coming together. and, so, yeah -- and in addition to that, you know, we're trying to see where the area roads are like, what's flooding like. the airport is going to be closed. we're hearing through, at least, thursday. members of the coast guard here saying that when they're up in the air, the scenes are incredible, they rescued the family that was in a trailer today. it was a family of five to six people and they had been stuck in their homes. so driving around the area on your -- you're still coming up on flooded roads. we're kind of on

here, everybody that's able to get out is smiling, is in good spirits, despite the fact that they -- at the best, have been dealing with water for five days and at the worst have nothing left, but the clothes on their back. i just heard in the hotel coming out here to do this live shot, the hotel lady asking, your daughter, does she need any toys, people want to donate toys to her. so that kind of wonderful sense of community going on down here, guys. >> it's amazing that people are still in such good spirits after everything they've been through and your spirits are holding up pretty well, too, we think. >> thanks, amelia. >> thank you, amelia. >> thank you. the flooding crisis is still developing in houston and for days, now, we've all watched some awful scenes of misery and desperation and relief. one of the most compelling images resinated from coast to coast. it chose a houston police officer carrying a mother to safety with her sleeping child cradled in her arms.

just was and somebody grabbed her. >> she was walking down this sidewalk, middle of the day. you can see cars are passing, that didn't stop the suspect from pulling her off the sidewalk, dragging her into the woods, taking her back there, trying to take her clothes off and trying, according to police, to sexually assault her. >> for some reason, suspect took off, chopper 4, moments after it happened. the search for the man would linger for two more weeks. it included this sketch, and eventually, a phone call, a tip, an arrest. >> i was a 33-year-old male. dominique ashley childs. he was arrested yesterday in manasas by our detectives. >> beard matches that of the sketch. even with an arrest, yolanda could keep you alert. >> i worked out in this area for a while. i will assume it's a safe area. i haven't ever looked over my shoulder or anything like that. so definitely shocking. >> a community thankful for a case solved, but

school community. >> it came from a number of different places, one is it came out of a third grade classroom where they were studying native americans and they were talking -- they got into a discussion about our local football's team name and logo and sense that was something deeply disparaging of a race of people who now has the own dc he now feels the name doesn't need changing. >> last year they did a poll and found they either found the name not offensive or actually supported the use of the name by the washington football team. >> the

border, eventually, getting there by over night tonight into the day tomorrow. so it is moving north very slowly at 6 miles per hour. but notice, the heaviest rain now gone around the houston area. right now, just some light rain, but not before some locations picked up well over 40 inches, numerous areas over 40 inches of rain and houston and, yes, we have set a new record for the lower 48, 51.88 inches just to the south and east of houston, that is the most all-time of the tropical system in the lower 48 states. that is the new record, jay gray down there in houston. jay, this is a record that nobody wanted. >> records falling by the wayside everywhere. some of the cities and towns around houston getting the amount of rain fall they get in a year over the last four or five days here. we also know that 49 inches, the most ever delivered by a tropical system in u.s., that's another record that's gone by the

look, it's still spitting, not nearly as intense as it was, the latest forecast i've seen, doug, you can correct me if i'm wrong, it calls for houston to maybe get another 2, 4, maybe 5 inches over the next couple of days here. understand, not as much we initially thought they would get over the next couple of days, but it's still adding on to what our catastrophic flood levels across the nation's fourth largest city. there are entire communities that have been -- even here at night which is something they don't normally do, but i think that speaks to the critical level here and how many people need that help. 17,000 or more in area shelters, thousands more have been flown to dallas for shelter there. the mayor of houston told us today that he expects by the time that this is done, he will need space for at least 10,000 more people. so, the effects of this storm, even if the rain is beginning to die ofre

>> many weeks, many months. jay gray live in houston. thank you very much, jay, for doing what you do down there. we're turning our attention to our weather. we have a system here. a little bit of a tropical system trying to form yesterday, more of a nor'easter as we come to think of the nor'easterly flow battling along the beaches right now. the winds upwards of 40 to 50 miles an hour. now, our rain fall starting to move out. that's some very good news. we're seeing that rain fall move out, around annapolis, actually move on down, st. mary's county. so the rain moving out, the nationals game, is the delayed. not postponed, just delayed. i think they'll be able to get going in the next hour or so. it does take some time to get everything up to snuff down there towards the game. now, what are we going to be seeing for the rest of the next couple of days storm ranger helping us out there over the next few days today. that rain

it, well, i think we had a pretty nice day. tomorrow, we can all kind of breathe a sigh of relief here. sun and clouds after a day we saw upwards of an inch of rain in dc. high temperatures tomorrow. really nice afternoon out there on our wednesday. thursday, looking equally as nice. it will be a little bit on the warmer side, though, temperatures back into the 80s. average high temperatures 85 degrees. then wind shift out of the east, high temperatures on friday about 72 with some shower activity tracking harvey, the remnants of harvey moving up late friday into saturday. i've got a high temperature of 72. many of you will not make it out of the 60s and take a look at what we're expecting here. i think we'll be mostly cloudy all day, showers likely on saturday, but nothing too heavy. harvey is not going to bring us anything other than some shower activity, a little breezy, a little bit cool. but not a complete wash out on saturday. sunday and monday looking better. if you have plans this holiday weekend, i wouldn't cancel them, as i mentioned earlier

i would bring some board games. >> all right. and plan on putting them away on sunday and monday. >> yep. >> thank you, doug. he was nearly ten years ago that the museum moved into its landmark building on pennsylvania avenue. well, now, financial problems could force museum officials to sell the space. a financial review is underway in various options are being considered. the museum's ceo resigned as one of the steps in the process. the museum will remain open during this review. the museum is dedicated to protecting and celebrating the first amendment, the original new zee yum w museum was located in roslyn. >> get ready for another come
