Harvey came ashore August 25 as a Category 4 hurricane with high winds and a destructive storm surge. After it moved slightly inland, it swirled in place over southeast Texas for a few days, dropping record-shattering rain and flooding several areas.
With Hurricane Harvey causing catastrophic flooding in parts of Houston and southeast Texas, it is a little hard to get a full grasp on how much water really fell. Ryan Maue with WeatherBell Analytics calculated that around 20 trillion (20,000,000,000,000) gallons of water fell across east Texas during Harvey. To compare, around 6.5 trillion gallons fell during Hurricane Katrina in 2005. Rain totals at the time of Maue's tweet was calculated around 15 trillion.
