Full extent of Harvey’s aftermath starts to come into chilling focus

The full extent of Harvey’s aftermath started to come into chilling focus Monday in Houston and across much of Central Texas, as rain measured in feet, not inches, overwhelmed lakes, rivers and bayous, leaving several people dead and thousands displaced in a weather disaster described as “beyond anything experienced.” “A flood of this magnitude is an 800-year event, and it exceeds the design specification of our levees,” said Fort Bend County County Judge Robert Herbert in a statement Monday. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/full-extent-of-harveys-aftermath-starts-to-come-into-chilling-focus/2017/08/27/1b2b184a-8b56-11e7-8df5-c2e5cf46c1e2_story.html?utm_term=.11495bc561db
