louisiana faced hurricane katrina 12 years ago. >> meteorologist adam joseph is in the "action news" weather center with a look at what's ahead tonight for the gulf coast. >> it depends on where you are. houston is beginning to dry out as heavy rain pushes east. tropical storm harvey continues to spin over the open waters of the atlantic, spinning the moisture around the large storm. where you see the brighter reds, beaumont texas, parts of interstate 80, three feet of rain in that part of texas. in houston, it's pouring in parts of the gulf coast states. in cedar bayou, just east and south of houston, they set the all time record with any tropical system in the lower 48, none to this point has dropped this much rain in one storm, nearly 52-inches over the five day period, previously breaking the record of 48-inches from what was amelia back in 1978 also in the state of texas. it's all because of the erratic path of storm that made landfall friday near corpus christie, looped around and went back over the open waters. it's zig zagging over the area since friday moving northeast six m

katrina. but brock adams at fema is a real superstar in emergency management and he's -- he'll have things under control. >> i had a really -- i was able to have a good conversation with mr. long and appreciated his insight and he seems to have a good grip on things. >> i'm sorry, brock long. i sa i said brock adams. >> that is okay. the same person, sir. but the real story is the flooding. and there are predictions of over 40 inches of rain in certain areas of texas. so what does fema need to do to keep people safe? what can fema do? >> well, right now, the federal force, which is made of up people from across many agencies, they are actually -- it is still in response mode. so it is not in a recovery mode yet. and they are not moving in just yet because they don't want to put these people in harm's way either. but they have been very, very forward leaning. they've brought generators, dozens, and practice sheeting, cots, blankets. they've really, really moved out ahead of the storm in terms of the -- being able to respond and help jump start the recovery. people are going to want to get back an

storm's radar, on this, by the way, the 12th anniversary of hurricane katrina slamming into new orleans. fox news meteorologist adam tracking harvey's path. adam, do you have good news for us, please? >> i don't know if it is good news. folks in houston clearing out in a day or so. rain still an issue and we are seeing as you mentioned this shifting more and more towards the east. rain shifting as far east as portions of the florida panhandle. that is heavy shower activity from lake charles and heavy showers east of the houston area. we've seen all the moisture continue to roll onshore. this area we're seeing heavy rain. a little lighter in the houston area. still an inch, two, three, left. put this into motion for you. this is the future radar. pay attention to the time stamp in the corner. this is taking you to early wednesday morning, right on the border of houston seeing a little more rain. but the heaviest rain at that point shifting off to lake charles. we'll see movement on this, lifting to the north, shreveport, through little rock, up through memphis, all an area we track a lot more heavy rain. as it moves

some comparisons are katrina which hit new orleans 12 years ago and at that point killed 1800 people plus devastation there. check in with adam, meteorologist adam, he's keeping track on what is happening there. it's been about five hours now since the eye of the storm hit the land there. what are we seeing? >> in these last couple of moments, jackie, new information coming in. the winds are continuing to die down but we just went to a category two storm. we are down to a hundred miles an hour wind. it's not falling apart but shrinking a little bit. you can see the eye wall slowly getting smaller and these are strong winds getting up to that hundred and ten in places like fort lavaca continue to deal with strong winds as well as victoria but it's weakening in general and like corpus christi was in a very heavy rain it's falling out of that and we getting just a bit. the other story is that it continues to slow down and will continue through the overnight hours. moving now only at 6 miles and hours were not seen movement and the problem with that is anyone who is in the way of it rain follows and falls and falls because it's n

katrina killed more than 1800 people. people seem to take the warnings for harvey far more seriously. for the very latest on the storm's path, meteorologist adam klotz in the fox news weather center. adam, and we've watched this eye wall come ashore. heard about the wind. as bad as expected. not quite as bad or we don't know yet? adam: we don't know the damage yet but the storm itself yes, as bad as expected and some cases maybe worse as we were able to climb up to the category 4 storm. at this point, a category 3. that doesn't mean a lot to folks in the path of it. what's the difference? category 4 is 130-mile-an-hour winds, now down to 125-mile-an-hour winds. still a massive storm. this is the eye wall, the hurricane stretching out beside it, general track, there all the way until it hits land. just within the last 40 minutes or so, see it turn to the north. that is going to affect folks in the immediate path as we begin to see it take the northerly route, anyone in that direction obviously on the right-hand of this system, that's where the strongest winds are. the major population center here is corpus christi, beginning to turn a little wa
