At least 70 people have died in connection with the damage caused by Hurricane Harvey, which battered southeastern Texas for days and left entire communities underwater. The death toll is expected to rise as officials further assess the catastrophic damage caused by the storm.
Harvey started as a typical weak August tropical storm that affected the Lesser Antilles and dissipated over the central Caribbean Sea. However, after re -forming over the Bay of Campeche, Harvey rapidly intensified into a category 4 hurricane - (on the Saffir Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale) before making landfall along the middle Texas coast. The storm then stalled, with its center over or near the Teas coast for x four days, dropping historic amounts of rainfall of more than 60 inches over southeastern Texas. These rains caused catastrophic flooding, and Harvey is the second-most costly hurricane in U.S. history, after accounting for inflation, behind only Katrina (2005). At least 68 people died
