On Friday, Hurricane Harvey made landfall on the Texas coast as a massive Category 4 storm. Although it has been nearly four days since it first hit the Lone Star State, residents in Houston and surrounding areas are still dealing with catastrophic rains and flooding. The National Weather Service says that the storm, which has stalled out over the area, will continue to drop record rainfall over the remainder of the week.
