first class. about a week ago he was here reflecting on what this particular war hero must have endured when he noticed something odd about this brick dedicated to him. must el manassas is a very common name however that's not how you spell it. he started doing some research on his own. however, that wasn't the only mistake made. it wasn't morris mus el man, it was norris. so we got his first name and last name spelled wrong. out of the 66 bricks here you you say paid for by the county, jason i sas 55 of them are inaccurate. when he brought this up to stafford county otions. they said that those names came from a an eagle scout project and nobody checked them. we called the county to see, if in fact, that's where the information came from, but have not heard back from them. still, jason says the county

heros, but to the community, too . give these heros the respect that they've already earned. fix it up, make it right and it still will stay for many decades. >> just weird that happened in the first place. >> still ahead, we are continuing to cover this major, major storm, tropical storm harvey is lingering along the carve coast tonight. the very latest coming up. take a look a at the big screen, that is a live picture from galveston. it's pretty windy. the smaller box you're seeing some video from earlier. have harvey is president trump's first major natural disaster in office. look at how the president is responding as effaces some backlash for not doing more. we'll be right back. .

this is fox5 local news at ten. more now on our top story we've been talking about it all day, all last night. the devastation in texas caused by hurricane harvey. harvey is now a tropical storm but it is still dumping torntion rains on the loan star state. the storm is blamed for at least one death and more than a dozen injuries. authorities fear that toll will go higher once searchers reach areas wiped out by the category four hurricane. harvey has stalled and expected to cause problems for days. the storm could produce more than 40 inches of rain and that would trigger dangerous floods. because of the flooding one of the top focal points that we are concerned about is

rescue and recovery. we want to do everything we possibly can to keep people out of rising water. >> harvey was the strongest hurricane to hit the united states in more than a decade and it is the strongest storm to hit texas in more than 50 years. firefighters in corpus christi had a daunting task last night trying to put out this fire as the winds were whipping and the rain was really coming down. witnesses say the house exploded in flames and some cars parked nearby. they actually melted. still no word on what caused that fire. firefighters did the best they could to extinguish the flames but let the pounding rain put it out. katie t texas are saying saying a tornado touched down. it's an area not too far away from houston. the storm damaged 50 homes and many businesses. trees were up rooted

in the aftermath of the storm. still more rain is expected to come through the area. hurricane harvey is the trump first major disaster. the president is receiving updates while at camp david. earlier tonight we spoke with political strategist david brown and jack burkman about the backlash. this is a president and this is a white house that has shown an utter disregard for the traditions and the responsibilities that we would assume the white house would adhere to, namely a natural disaster. you wouldn't be going into the camp david and you you you would stay on the situation phone. i agree in part and dis agree in part. did he miss an opportunity. if i was trump this was taylor made for hivment i would have been down there day one and handing out sandwiches. i think trump did miss an opportunity. i would have been down there

plays in dlmed's reactive personality. it could have been a pr hit. harvey is the hardest hurricane to hit the us in a decade. matthew devastated southeast, florida, one month prior to that hurricane hur mean hit florida and in 2012 hurricane sandy hit the east coast. in 2008 hurricane ike pounded texas as a category two and hurricane katrina we all remember that, it slammed into louisiana back in 2005. it remains the most expensive storm in us history. definitely a mess for everybody down there. i feel so horrible watching and waiting. i think you were saying it earlier we have the report of one person dead. just pray there aren't any more deaths. they're some areas that they're still waiting to survey

of tornado watches and warnings around the area. that's going to continue right through at least until wednesday or thursday and that's a pretty good indication of the intensity of this storm. a lot, a lot of torntion rainfall. not out of the clear. for sure. but here at home things start of looking great. things are great, very calm which we're happy for, but we've had a really great weekend so far and we're go going to have that. as we take a look once again at harvey it is devastating causing a lot of problems for people. the other issue for them, sorry for walk ing into the screen like that, but the other issue here is the fact that they are without power and that's going to be very extended. so imagine trying to even, you know, get in there and try to see what's going on and survey things when there is no power, no electricity. people who might

that's what they're dealing with . with the water situation and the flooding you have to make sure they have safe water to drink. this is torrential rainfall coming down here. take a look at the extent of this reaching all the way through into louisiana a heading closer towards florida as well. arkansas, oklahoma all affected i want to tell you you right now with all this rainfall that is coming down, there is a very strong pocket but by about midday tomorrow houston could be under where a range of ten to 2s all this on shore flow that's continuing. this storm is just not moving. it's not getting out of here anywhere. it doesn't have any type of steering mechanism to get it out of the way. so it's kind of meandering here and not going anywhere at all and that's causing a the lot of the issues tropical storm warning in effect for this area allege the coast and the interior playing plenty of

course. there is a tornado watch until two in the morning and there are also some tornado warnings in effect. the tornado watch n.a.d.e. ' threat continues right through as well currently 630-mile per hour winds sustained it with as it kind of moves about p two miles an hour or so not much east to the northeast and here's a look at the projected path for it as we get through into about wednesday where it's supposed to just move a little bit north annulus some of its tropical characteristics. once again not going too far. rainfall amounts here we go, at least 20 plus for the area shaded here, 12 to 20 for the area shaded in white, seven to 12 inches the area shaded in yellow. this is on p to of what they've already gotten and this is through until tuesday, this project here. barely moving and drifting. the center is now 70 miles east southeast of san antonio, texas rain through thursday is the pro jected measurements there with isolated amoun.

be up to 40 inches it could be closer to the coast and the central of the storm. tropical force winds are extending some 115 a miles from the center of the storm and the tornado threat will linger through. here rat home things are calm and quiet as we say, ridge of high pressure in control porous. tomorrow is going to be a day pretty much like today, so if you you enjoy today you you you will definitely enjoy tomorrow. your planner shows you you by mid day 78-degrees. the beaches aren't too bad. sixty-three for tonight for us and partly cloudy becoming clear. tomorrow we're talking 80-degrees a very nice day and here's a look the at your fox5 seven day forecast. a couple of days of rain, but other than that it's actually looking fairly good. back to you. checking our other top stories tonight, d.c. police investigating a woman's claim that a man took pictures up her skirt. this happened at a 7/eleven store in southwest this morning. the woman was standing in a checkout line and a witness saw a man hold his phone

underneath the victim's descres she talked exclusively with fox5 . he put the camera real flow and flashed and everything under her skirt. it made my storm hurt a little bit. i want a the lot of women to know that there's a guy out in your area that will actually upskirt you. the man got away. we're told the store has a surveillance camera and police are expected to review any video of this, but there is some concern that this man may have done this before, so police are asking anyone with information about the case to give them a call. also in the district police are investigat ing an early morning shooting in northeast. two men were shot just before 5 a.m. at a mobile gas station off of new york avenue. it's not clear what led up to the shooting but detectives were seen combing inside and outside of that gas station for efforts. police say the victims were conscious and breathing when officers arrived if you have any information about this, call d.c. police. still no word what us contacted an early morning crash on the beltway, a tractor-trailer over turned on the
