अमेरिकामा डरलाग्दो प्राकृतिक बिपत्ति, अत्यन्तै शक्तिशाली आंधी र पानीले अमेरिकाको टेक्सस डुब्यो - लगभग ६० लाख मानिस प्रभाविद (भिडियो सहित)

Hurricane Harvey tore through the state of Texas over the weekend, leaving behind a trail of devastation and an ongoing fight for survival in Houston as residents there continue to battle rising flood waters.
Harvey, a category 4 hurricane, was the strongest storm to hit Texas since the 1960s. The storm devastated coastal communities in its eye, and then delivered a blow to Houston, the country’s fourth-most populous city, with record rainfall.
Multiple wind gusts higher than 100 mph were reported during Hurricane Harvey. The highest gust reported on land was recorded at 132 mph in Port Aransas, Texas, according to the National Hurricane Center.
A new record daily max rainfall of 16.07 inches was set at George Bush Intercontinental Airport in Houston on Sunday, breaking the old record of 8.32 inches from 1945, according to National Weather Service (NWS) measurements. The airport was closed in the wake of Harvey.
In the last two days, 24.44 inches of rain has fallen in Houston, the NWS reported on Monday. The rainfall from Harvey has already made this August the wettest month on record for Houston. The rainfall as of Monday afternoon that has inundated Harris County, Texas, is equal to approximately 732 billion gallons of water, which is enough to fill more than 1 million Olympic-size swimming pools.
BC News meteorologists expect up to 50 inches of rain to accumulate in the southeastern part of Texas by Wednesday as a result of the storm.
Harvey has so far affected about a quarter of the Texas population, or 6.8 million people in 18 counties, according to The Associated Press.
