Tropical Storm Harvey, whose torrential downpours have already wreaked havoc on southeast Texas since making landfall late Friday, could dump up to 50 inches of rain in some parts of the Lone Star State by the end of this week.
The precipitation levels could shatter all records, leaving authorities to grapple with some of the most catastrophic flooding ever witnessed in the United States.
As of 4pm local time Sunday in Houston, parts of the city’s metropolitan area had received over 25 inches of rain, according to The Weather Channel.
Dayton, a town just northeast of Houston, recorded 27 inches of rain in just 48 hours.
The rainfall totals in the Houston area are expected to easily surpass the figures recorded in 2001, when Tropical Storm Allison dumped nearly 40 inches of rain.
