Since making landfall Friday, the most powerful hurricane to hit Texas in five decades hammered Houston and surrounding areas with drenching rainfall and epic flooding. The death toll is 31 and rising, and about 30,000 people have scrambled into shelters. And it's not over. Downgraded to a tropical depression, Harvey was drenching parts of Louisiana, with warnings that torrential rains could hit areas of Mississippi, Tennessee and Kentucky.
