It would appear as though the eye made landfall at Rockport, Texas. The reach of this storm goes to the east coast. I am waiting to hear how many died.

I expect Harvey to be different from the hurricanes of 2005. Harvey didn't have a long time to whip the ocean into a high storm surge. It could not have been pushing the same storm surge as the 2005 storms. Hopefully, it is only the rain that is causing hardship without a strong storm surge.
So, Trump pardoned a self-righteous white man, huh? No surprise there. Maybe he'll be Trump's next Homeland Security Secretary. It is all symbolism and is racism. Pardoning Joe Arpaio is an expression of racism.
Joe Arpaio was not only guilty of contempt of court, he was very much out of line with his peers.
Joe Arpaio would have found an age group to support him in USA prisons.
...Human Rights Watch (click here) presents in this report new statistics that testify unequivocally to the aging of the US prison population. Among our findings:
Between 2007 and 2010, as noted above, the number of sentenced state and federal prisoners age 65 or older increased by 63 percent, while the overall population of sentenced prisoners grew only 0.7 percent in the same period. There are now 26,200 prisoners age 65 or older....
The elderly in USA jails don't get sympathy from anyone. Contempt of court is not a life sentence.
