stats from ike, that was a category 2. harvey is a category 4 when it hit land. 74 deaths in texas because of ike. for those people in galveston who remember it well, you've got to wonder what they're thinking and hoping it doesn't get worse because of the storm surges and all that that could be expected. it's significant right now where you are, joe. can you step out of screen for a minute and let's take a look at these palm fronds that are swaying. can you give us a look at what you can and cannot see there? >> reporter: i can't hear you terribly well, here, if you look out here on the water, definitely the clouds are thick. if the sun were to come out a little bit, we probably wouldn't get a very good look at it. the waters remain choppy. yesterday the situation throughout the day was off and on. we'd have rain and it will would clear up a little bit. then we'd have rain and wind, it was back and forth. think about it, if this is what's going to happen, this is what it's going to be like with all this rain coming down,

hurricane ike. it devastated the town, and in the aftermath of hurricane ike the hospital, which had historically been a cherry hospital that -- charity hospital that cared for all comers, the kind of hospital where a doc in texas who couldn't get care for her patient could literally buy them a bus ticket and send them to galveston and know they would get care there. that hospital changed. very abruptty we stopped doing -- abruptly we stopped doing any charity care, and the patients who were on the rolls of the charity care program at galveston were sent form letters that said, for example, due to the devastation caused by hurricane ike, dr. susan will no longer be your doctor. and that included patients who had cancer, patients who had chronic kidney disease, patients who had complicated room to logical decide and what happened after hurricane ike very much defined my experience as a medical student and the kind of doctor that i'm becoming. so this story is about the head and neck cancer surgeon, a

hurricane ike. in the aftermath of the hurricane the hospital which had historically been a hospital the cared for old comers, the kind words i can texas who couldn't get care for patient could literally buy a bus ticket and go to galveston another get care there. the hospital changed, very abruptly. we stopped doing any charity care and the patients who are on the roles at galveston were sent form letters that said for example, due to the devastation caused by the hurricane thehe ds dr. susan will no longer be your dr.. that included patients who have cancer, or patients who had chronic disease, patients who had chronic disease. what happened after hurricane ike very much to find my experience as a medical student in the kind of dr. that i wasr becoming. so, this story is about doctor who is the head head of the cancer surgeon. she refused to abandon her patients when their drop from the role. this is about her and what she did. the institution she works for told her to abandon patients susan began

ike was the first to hit landfall, a hurricane to make landfall in texas.overed the storms at the time. when she talks about days and days of rain and misery, we're at the leading edge of what is going to be a tough few days, maybe even a week or so for folks there. >> i kill -- and ike killed 21 people. get out if you are in the direct path of the storm. this could hit new orleans. still too many memories of too many terrible storms. >> 40 minutes past the hour. >>> president trump turning to twitter to warn everyone in harvey's path tweeting, "as hurricane harvey intensifies, remember to plan ahead." the president getting regular briefings and has spoken to texas governor abbott. the white house standing ready to provide resources where required, but downplaying concerns about preparedness. as you know, there's no permanent secretary of homeland security which overseas fema. >>> to politics now. president trump and senate republican leader mitch mcconnell taking very different approaches as they try to get this relationship and the legislative goals back

hurricane ike hit this area especially hard. long-time residents take me back to 1970 when hurricane celia hit here. that one injured more than 400, left many people dead here. we'll see how bad it gets as the day develops. >> nick, keep an eye on it. we'll check back with you. as hurricane harvey moves back towards texas, so does the flooding threat. cnn's paulo sandoval is in san antonio and that city is under a local national disaster declaration. >> reporter: here in san antonio you wouldn't necessarily know it yet, but everything will change drastically tonight as we're expected to see some of the effects of this massive storm. yes, the gusty winds will be a concern. the real issue will be the devastating flooding. think about it. this storm is going to hover around parts of texas for days dumping serious amounts of rain. as a result many of these flood prone areas are going to be looked at by officials. as a result many people in cities like san antonio will not be going to school today, will not be going to work. many roa

the walls of the programs were in four letters that said due to the devastation caused by hurricane ike, doctor susan will no longer be your doctor and that included patients that had cancer, chronic kidney disease, and what happened after hurricane ike very much defined my experience as a student and kind of student that i'm becoming so this story is about the head surgeon and she refused to her abandon her patience and this is what she did. what is a surgeon without her operating room and wha would dor do when the institution she works for obviously need her help. susan begin t began to find hern answers to the questions her patients were scattered but many would further up the coast. these patients. susan couldn't reach them by telephone to in the weeks after, she began to climb into her volkswagen and drive out to find them and was unaccustomed to the time ike granted her a. sunny and cool the most perfect october. adult almost driving through the seaside towns listening to variations of the harpsichord. of these towns were intact compared with galveston. the restaurants were open a

ike brannon is with us now with the cato institute. is here to talk about ways to reform the national flood insurance program, which has to be free off the rise by the end of september and is nearly $25 billion in debt. good morning. first explain what the national flood insurance program is and who uses it. guest: it's the main way people who live in floodplains or by oceans or anywhere where they like it flooded, how they get insured. there is now a little bit of private insurance. more than 90% of people get it through this. the big problem with the national flood insurance is it does not really function all that much like insurance. for instance if you have a house and live in washington, d.c., the more expensive your house is, more prone it is to some kind of potential damage, can you pay more insurance. national flood insurance really does not work all that well like insurance. it does not increase the cost if you live close to a floodplain. one of the biggest problems in our study that came out the other week is we have pretty g

tropical storm allison, hurricane rita and hurricane ike. hurricane ike cost the state $22 billion worth of damage. do you think harvey may eclipse that? >> this is going to be a very expensive and costly frustrating event. you know, i've been doing this nearly two years and i've never seen a hurricane impact a community like this one. not only did you have a category 4, a very rare category 4 making landfall with the devastating storm surge, but now that's going to be coupled with multiple days of torrential rains. you know, this is -- this is a hurricane that's going to be talked about by itself. it's going to be hard to compare this one to any other. >> fema administrator william "brock" long on a very busy day. thank you for your time here on msnbc as we cover hurricane harvey. appreciate it. >> thank you. >>> a controversial pardon is just one of the surprise moves made by president trump just as this major hurricane was about to hit the u.s. what may have prompted all of the decisions, coming up. comfortable you are in it. so find a ve

but nevertheless, he kept agitating and when ike went out of office he was thrilled. now he said all conservatives can be fighting and behaving the same angle. nelson rockefeller pillaged for being like a democrat but he said we hate the russians as much as we do. we want to talk about how he's running new york. so now the fight is on to take on the republican party as you say. without ike, who is a centrist, moderate, we now can find a way to take over the conservative republican party we can now realign the parties, we can get the southern democrats who say they're conservative to join with us and we will hold midwest and will become the new majority, that was his goal. he had this goal and in 1940, he thought it was going to be taft he thought it was quite shocked. he was not even concerned that goldwater 16 states because he said all movements start off this way. he wrote the up before i was born, calvin coolidge 11 of the largest landslides in american history. it had no welfare state or big army. eight years later frankie roosevelt went to the 1932 election. let

there was ike. you were talking to me about it in 2008.was the mindset of a lot of residents there knowing that, no, this is not necessarily the same kind of threat as further south in the coast, but when it comes to the flooding that may come in the next couple of days with this system stalling, how are they approaching that? >>. >> they have an understanding of what is going on here. they knew this wasn't going to be as strong as hurricane ike. they weren't as worried about the winds in the storm surge. you can see water marks and businesses that talk about just how high the floodwaters got. homeowners that we talk with say especially those in low-lying areas that know they're prone to flooding say that that's what they're keeping an eye on. there are a lot of sand bags put out. in fact, it was hard to find sand bags yesterday. they were putting down their shudders whe shudders. they have generators ready. they know that flooding could be a major issue. because a lot of people experienced hurricane ike and the damage from that, they actu

was there for ike, it ripped -- i'm a disabled been out of the hospital about a year when ike came through, i lived in pasadena, texas, at the time. i was living in a three bedroom and it flipped, just and you'd flip a ball over you know i look for after that? trailer.ut of the i wasn't looking for anybody's like to know, i don't have politics made out of this, but doesn't matter who the is, it doesn't matter, people helping people. neighbor got their place ansacked after hurricane ike, people came through and took whatever they wanted. off another bunch of people that were ransacking a and had had four kids lost her husband overseas, i chased them off her place. out on my porch and just sweated it out. a electricity for almost month and a half after ike. that is all i have, half front trailer and a porch. that is enough, i'll get off my soap box v. a good day. sharing yourou for story. mag nekerrville, texas, good morning. caller: good morning to you. something i wanted to mention, not being hurt up here, i live in the hill country near the guadalupe iver, people further down will be hurt

. >> likely to be the first hurricane to make landfall since ike slammed assure near where you are in 2008. back then the loss of life was very low, partially -- i think only people who went out and were sight seeing. if you heeded the warnings at the city and noaa put out, you would have -- >> here's video. >> it was something else. not anywhere as close to as strong as what we're talking about right now. in 1900, a very serious devastating hurricane back then. mayor -- city manager, what have you learned from those experiences? what is galveston doing differently now even though you're on the outskirts on the storm. it certainly could get close to you. >> first of all we've hardened our infrastructure as a result of hurricane ike. we're in a better position than 2008. the other thing we hope everybody remembers hurricane ice and take these things seriously. they need to continue to monitor the local news sources, these things can change pretty quickly. >> when you look at the images of 2008, you can see the pleasure pier, big tourist destination how badly it got hit and since comple

we do not evacuate patients, we have been here in hurricane rita and hurricane ike.p our patients until the city lost water. >> let's talk about with 193 and you're drawing down now, let's talk about the most critical care patients and how you take them to another location and what the process is. this takes hours. >> the process is very organized. i'm very proud of that. we practice this all the time. we have great association affiliations with other agencies. so we started at the top with our manifest of our most critical patients, dialysis patients and icu patients, those are the ones you're seeing being taken out now. we start with the highest level and work our way down. >> as you triage the patients, most critical care out and work on down the list, this is a community that relies on the hospital. you're the emergency room as the sign says. if somebody has an emergency, where are they to go? they should steer clear here? >> that's a good question. at this time, we're not prepared to take any more patients. we were taking patients from helicopters, the nursing h

it sounded to me like the messed up ike really the confidentiality or something like that. the er you mentioned that press is good at protecting and mous informants wondering why, you know, does intercept really drop the ball or -- you know, they can only do so much and, you maybe reality winner just did some really stupid stuff informants don't do. guest: well, i think the answer that the estion is government has more and more discover thenow to identity of leakers and the case to which he's referring was one in which government, using it's own internal investigative tools was quickly able to identify who it alleged leaker and they have now charged her and her case is now pending in court. host: i know you deal with legal aspects of what reporters do, hat about the way, the reporting we see, news outlets dominating newspapers, turning web, what does that do for the job that you have to do as far as defending these freedoms? guest: everything moves much more quickly, surely, than it a even when i started as young lawyer. that brings a lot of excitement is innovating,ry lawy

and, in fact, this storm has the potential to be stronger than ike.otentially the strongest storm in the state of texas for nearly half a century. and the first category 3 hurricane in the united states in 12 years. so, yes, we just did come from an evacuation center here in corpus christi, texas. they have so far processed more than 700 people over the last day or two. and they have been busing them over to san antonio. we spoke with one woman, she just was with her 6-week-old daughter and she was frantically trying to get to safety. another woman who was 97 years old, she's been through storms before, but she felt that she had to head to san antonio. another woman who was seven months pregnant. certainly a lot of people realizing that this is a very serious situation, and heeding the warnings. here in corpus christi, the authorities made a decision not to put forth a mandatory evacuation, but they have a strong, what they call a strong voluntary evacuation order. still some of the low-lying areas in and around corpus christi do have those mandatory

others have left. >> scientists say harvey could be far more destructive than ike.f of mexico out of the city of galveston is high sea wall. >> the issuelandfall, it's just going to sit and meander. >> president trump's attack on top republicans are creating a rift ahead of key legislative deadlines in september. >> congress will have just 12 working days to raise the debt ceiling. >> it started here at this convenience store where wanczyk purcs hasethree tickets. the winning ticket a combination of birthdays and one very lucky number. >> tempers hot in detroit after this all-out brawl. the first of three bench-clearing fights. >> who's responsible for that. >> the umpire. the umpire should have taken control. >> or could it be grown men have to take responsibility for their actions? >> let's not get too crazy. [ laughter ] >> let's not try to rewrite history now. >>> good morning to you. i'm with norah o'donnell and bill weir. charlie rose is off today. >>> and satellite images from space show a storm and how big it really is. covering much of the gulf coast. >> ha

harvey is the first significant hurricane to hit texas since ike in september 2008. one of the most destructive hurricanes to ever hit texas and one of the deadliest. it brought winds of 110 miles per hour to galveston and houston areas and caused $22 billion in damage and killed 84 people. harvey is also the first big storm along the middle texas coast since hurricane claudette in 2003 when it caused $180 million in damage and now harvey is hitting the same area as hurricane carla. in 1961, carla came ashore with wind gusts estimated at 175 miles per hour and caused more than $300 million in damage so time will tell where harvey's impact will be remembered in history. but today people in texas are hoping it stays far from this list. neil? >> neil: tracy thank you very very much. now the president has already indicated as he said at the top of the hour he wants to visit texas next week. he's going to be a busy bee next week because he's also leading the effort to get tax cuts done next year so a lot riding on the president's busy schedule in the next few weeks. chuck

the last time was 2008 this was hurricane ike, that also caused devastation.ee a repeat here in texas, but time will tell. it's not only the coastal concerns, inland, fresh water flooding, maybe a foot to a foot-and-a-half of rain possible through the beginning of next week a lot of concerns here in texas. okay, we will cover it here on the weather channel. back to you. >> it's a ton of rain. we have fresh memories of hurricane sandy here in new york joining us with how he is preparing to handle harvey is galveston city manager brian maxwell. we really appreciate you joining us we'd love to know what kind of preparations you have under way and what impacts you expect at this point. >> right now we are preparing for the onslaught ofwhat we think will be 15 to 18 inches of rain and a two to four foot storm surge on the island, comparatively speaking to ike, it's quite a bit less. nonetheless, it will cause us major problems with drainage and street flooding over the area over the weekend. >> how much did ike cost you >> it cost the city of galveston in the billi

nine years ago this area was devastated by hurricane ike. some businesses on the coast were destroyed and had to rebuild. many low lying neighborhoods saw record flooding. the mayor says by leaps and bounds they're better prepared today than they were nine years ago. they're going to need every bit of that preparation. lester? >> joe fryer tonight for us, thank you. >>> as we mention urgent evacuations are being carried out ahead of hurricane harvey's landfall. a number of hospital patients have been moved including several newborns just days old who were airlifted out of the storm zone entirely. nbc medical correspondent dr. john torres is in corpus christi to tell us more about that. >> reporter: for guadalupe garcia, dialysis is the difference between life and death. >> i have no kidneys. my kidneys are shot. >> reporter: so his last stop before evacuating was this dialysis center in corpus christi, where machines do the work of his kidneys. so if all this shut down and you weren't able to get dialysis for days, that could be life threate

ike in 2008 was enormous in size. it was only a category 2 hurricane at landfall along the upper texas coast, but ranks as the third most costly hurricane on total damage estimates for ike $29.5 billion. in 2012 hurricane sandy slammed into new jersey. it was the deadliest hurricane to hit the northeastern u.s. in 40 years and the second costliest in the nation's history at around $65 billion. but in 2005 hurricane katrina rocked louisiana and the nation as a category 3 storm. katrina caused $108 billion in damage making it the costliest storm in u.s. history. the storm itself did a great deal of damage, but its aftermath was catastrophic. levee breaches led to massive flooding and many people charged the federal government was slow to meet the needs of those affected by the storm. hundreds of thousands of people in louisiana, mississippi and alabama were displaced from their homes. it's estimated more than 1,800 people were killed. >>> and harvey has you talking on social media and remembering as well. shelby who sur

we learned things from rita, ike, the tropical depressions we have.ost of the problems -- tropical storms we had a lot of flooding. we are as experienced as anybody in the country. one of the things, and the governor and i talked about it a few hours ago, now that you have first rescue, and we are still rescuing out. then you have rescue and recovery and then rebuilding. as we get people in shelters, as the fema man on the scene said the object is not for them to linger in shelters a long time. it's to get them into, and by the way, anyone in the 18 counties listening to my voice and watching you, it is disaster assistance.gov. you can sign up for fema benefits. we want to get them into apartments. want to get them in housing. want to get them somewhere. we don't want them to linger in these centers. it's not good for anyone. it will take time and people have to be patient but the federal government is really on top of it and they've done a fabulous job. i think it's because the president is a business guy and he says get this done. it's what he think

the only thing to top it was hurricane ike. that happened back in 2008. when it comes to the west end of galveston, it is not protected by a seawall so, authorities there are telling everyone to take precautionary measures. they are also saying a voluntary evacuation is in place. when you talk about low-lying areas, that's downtown gavp ston. they're telling people in this area, in and around this area to sort of prepare for five to seven days with food, water, and supplies. started off with just three to five days. now they have moved it from five to seven. you always want to play it safe and make sure that you take those warnings into measure. >> very good advice. meteorologist megan glaros of our chicago station, wbbm here with the forecast for harvey as it approaches landfall. megan, it has to be something significant if you are here in person. >> yeah, that's right. with harvey, we are looking at my jor storm system. but the problem with this is, it's sitting over what we almost call premium fuel. sea surface temperatures are very high with this. whi

people are moving inland away from the low-lying coastal areas nearly oh blisserated by hurricane ike08. >> walls blown out. boats turned upside down. >> reporter: hur cake ike holds the distinction between the costliest in texas history. 103 people killed in the u.s. while about $30 billion was spent to repair the damage. the galveston sea fall is 17 feet high. a storm surge over that could travel into the gulf of mexico, into galvaton bay tripling one of the busiest ports and home to a major refinery. >> hopefully a wake-up call. >> reporter: jim blackburn is an environmental engineer at rice university saying the current infrastructure won't hold up if the city take as hit. >> if we reach those levels we could see the worst environmental disaster in united states history and probably shut down and cause a major gap in gasoline and jet fuel and other types of critical products availability. >> reporter: for some texans that's reason enough to leave town. >> we don't know what's going to happen. if we're come back to home, what damage we're coming home to. it's sad. it's scary. >> re

i was in charge of the evacuation for hurricane ike. it went very well. in this case, we had a rain event. unless you know where the rain is going to fall, you don't know who to evacuate and, in fact, yesterday the hardest-hit area of today is southeast harris county. if we had told those people you have to evacuate, they would have laughed, because they were not in any kind of flood danger. to talk about evacuating 2 million people in advance of a rain event. we've had two major rain events in the last two years. this is now the fourth. the mayor and i work very closely together. it's a bipartisan effort. our office of emergency management and the city work together. so to suggest that we should have evacuated 2 million people is just an outrageous statement. so now that i've got that off my chest, and we know harris county i think far better than the general does. so what we're facing now is an effort to respond to a tragedy. somebody used the term proportions. we've never seen water like this in all of our watersheds. they're all out of their banks. th

wings, ike airplane lift in the bridge. they begin to feel vertical lift in the bridge, especially in the center span. -- there was no suspension bridge anywhere like this, anywhere in the pacific northwest. unfamiliarity of how a big thing like this was supposed to behave. people excited about this. there is a certain gracefulness about a bridge like this. , just wanted to think there was not anything wrong. that it was normal. once they got the concrete on the deck, the additional weight would all go away. as we got out of summer and begin to get into fall, and the winds picked up, our prevailing winds out of the southwest, which blows almost directly across the bridge deck, they begin to notice that there was an angulation in that deck. by fall, soldiers were coming out from the military base for the novelty of writing the bridge. they would kick their feet over the railing and stand on the outside of the bridge. they would lean out as far as they could and the center deck of the bridge would be rising. not just inches,

also different is with ike it came in and it left. and like i said, this one has stayed. but the bands of rain, you know, both hurricanes, which we did not get get hit by a hurricane. this was more of a rain event from the hurricane. but the real difference is, i think is the bands of rain. like we would see one street totally unwater and then two hours later it would be clear and then across town it was another one the same. so it has been -- in fact, people that i know that have done this for years and years have said they've never seen anything like this before. and it's every part of the city. it's not north southeast or west. it is r single part of our city. >> right. we began this by talking about how roads in and out of the city are impassable. tell me about the city inside the city. are you seeing some relief where you can see some movement? >> oh, yes. and it's not that all of them are impassable. some of them are barricaded for reasons of people not coming in to drive through the waters just to look. and some are impassable too. but we have -- i mean, i've been
