  • A chemical plant that was flooded after Harvey catches fire again late Friday. NBC News is reporting that the United States Environmental Protection Agency said Friday that “no high levels of toxic chemical have been detected” at a Texas chemical plant that exploded and again caught fire earlier that day following problems caused by flooding by Hurricane Harvey. The EPA said an emergency response surveillance aircraft flew through the smoke of the new fire at the Arkema Inc. plant that broke out Friday afternoon. The chemical plant in Crosby, Texas, located northeast of Houston, Texas, first exploded early Thursday, triggering an intense fire. Residents within a mile-and-a-half of the facility were evacuated on Tuesday over concerns that about an explosion or fire. “Imagery reviewed in the aircraft clearly shows a strong fire that is west of the building that burned yesterday,” the EPA said after Friday’s fire. “Preliminary analysis of data is showing that although the fire has extreme intensity generating smoke, no high levels of toxic chemical have been detected.”
  • NBC affiliate KPRC Channel 2 is reporting that West Houston residents who live along Buffalo Bayou and have water in their homes should leave. Mayor Sylvester Turner said Friday that engineers believe water releases from the Addicks and Barker reservoirs in west Harris County will continue for at least 10 days, but could last as long as 15 days. He said personal safety and the strain on first responders are the primary reasons for the evacuation request. The voluntary evacuation of homes and apartments is for the area west of Gessner, east of Highway 6, south of I-10 Katy Freeway and north of Briar Forest. Houston fire Chief Sam Pena said most people in the affected area west of Gessner Road have already evacuated, but there are pockets where people have remained. Houston police Chief Art Acevedo assured homeowners who have not left their home that officers will protect the neighborhoods that have been flooded. Turner said emergency crews will shuttle residents to a shelter if needed. The mayor said that even though his request is voluntary, he reserves the right to make it mandatory if the situation warrants.
  • F.E.M.A. are warning residents effected by Hurricane Harvey to watch out for people impersonating City of Houston and Federal Emergency Management Agency inspectors. NBC affiliate KPRC Channel 2 is reporting that the impostors are reportedly knocking on doors and attempting to enter homes, presumably intending to rob residents, city officials said. More News Headlines Renters find issues with flood-damaged units, property Navy helicopters rescue flood victims President Trump set to visit Houston area Saturday How to recover photos after a flood “Both FEMA and Houston employees wear clearly labeled FEMA or city of Houston photo identification badges,” the city said in a statement.

Anyone who suspects someone of posing as a city of Houston employee or FEMA inspector is asked to call 911 if it is an emergency. Otherwise, city officials said to report possible FEMA impersonators by calling the toll-free Disaster Fraud Hotline at: 1 (866) 720-5721.

  • Harvey made landfall again as a tropical storm around 5:00am ET on Wednesday about 5 miles west of Cameron, Louisiana. Now as a tropical depression, Harvey is with maximum winds of about 20 mph, it was about 30 miles northwest of Greenwood, Mississippi, at 5:00pm ET late Thursday. After having drenched Texas and Louisiana, Harvey is expected to speed over the Ohio Valley during the Labor Day weekend.
  • At this moment, 280 tornado warnings issued as a result of Harvey including one for this twister in Pickens County, Alabama.
  • At this moment, at least 38 deaths have been attributed to the storm as of Thursday night.
  • The Arkema Chemical Plant in Crosby, Texas has suffered at least 2 explosions. NBC News is reporting that initial fears that a chemical plant fire burning outside of Houston on Thursday has sent a stream of hazardous black smoke into the sky were minimized as the company and local officials downplayed any widespread threat to public health. After an aircraft was sent to monitor the aftermath of 2 explosions at the Arkema Inc. plant in Crosby, the Environmental Protection Agency said the data collected showed there were “no concentrations of concern for toxic materials reported at this time.” Arkema officials warned Thursday morning of the possibility of further blasts, saying eight more containers storing a highly volatile chemical known as organic peroxide is expected to degrade. The organic peroxide produced at the plant is used in products such as kitchen countertops, industrial paints, polystyrene cups and plates, and PVC piping. “These things can burn very quickly and violently; it would not be unusual for them to explode,” Arkema executive Richard Rennard said at a news conference, adding that the explosions were more like popping noises caused when the containers built up with pressure. Authorities say a fire that was reported at around 2:00am CT on Thursday sent smoke billowing about 30 to 40 feet into the air.
  • At this moment, more than 32,000 people across Texas were in shelters Wednesday, Texas’ governor said.
  • At this moment, at least 20,100 people have been rescued from water across southeast Texas.
  • NBC News is reporting that the Trump administration expected to send initial request to Congress of at least $5.5 billion to aid Harvey.

  • Tropical Storm Harvey is with maximum winds of about 40 mph, made landfall again around 5:00am ET on Wednesday about 5 miles west of Cameron, Louisiana. It was about 50 miles north of Lake Charles, Louisiana, at 5:00pm ET. Bands of heavy rain are expected to persist over the next several days, with parts of Texas and Louisiana facing record rainfall through at least Labor Day weekend, forecasters say.
  • Flash Flood Warnings remain in effect for parts of the Houston region through Tuesday evening.

  • NBC News is reporting that one of the world’s largest chemical companies warned Wednesday that its flooded plant near Houston will likely catch fire and explode in the next few days — and there’s nothing the company can do about it. Arkema Group’s plant in Crosby, Texas, located about 20 miles northeast of Houston, was inundated by more than 40 inches of rain by Hurricane Harvey and has been without electricity since Sunday, the company, based in Colombes, France, said in a statement. The plant manufactures organic peroxides commonly used in everyday products like kitchen countertops, industrial paints, polystyrene cups and plates and PVC piping. The materials must be kept very cool, but refrigerators for the plant’s low-temperature containers are out of commission, and backup generators were also swamped, meaning “the potential for a chemical reaction leading to a fire and/or explosion within the site confines is real,” the company said. All residents within 1½ miles of the plant were evacuated on Tuesday. The National Guard was on the scene, and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security set up a command post near the site. “We have an unprecedented 6 feet of water throughout the plant. We’ve lost primary power and two sources of emergency backup power. And as a result, critical refrigeration needed for our materials on site is lost,” Richard Rowe, chief executive of the company’s North America operatives, said Wednesday in a conference call with reporters. “Materials could now explode and cause a subsequent and intense fire,” Rowe said. “The high water that exists on site and the lack of power leave us with no way to prevent it.”

  • Houston police officer dies in Harvey’s floodwaters. The Houston Police Department wrote on their Facebook page, “It is with a heavy heart that we announce the tragic in the line of duty death of Sergeant Steve Perez. Sergeant Perez was bravely serving the City of Houston in the face of this unprecedented weather-related disaster when his vehicle entered high water. The death of Sergeant Perez reminds us of the dangers that police officers willingly face every day in order to serve this great City. We will go through this extremely difficult and trying time with heavy hearts sadly reminded of the ultimate sacrifice one of our own paid. Words cannot adequately express the sense of loss the Perez family and their extended Houston Police family are experiencing. Our hearts and prayers go out to Sergeant Perez’s family, his friends, neighbors and colleagues. He is survived by his wife Cheryl, a grown son and daughter, and extended family. We ask that everyone keep him and his family in their thoughts and prayers. We are proud of the courage of this 34-year veteran. Like Steve, we will not waiver and we will not stop until we meet the immediate safety and security needs of the community Steve and his HPD family love to serve.”

We’ll congratulate each other when it’s all finished.” Outside the fire house after the briefing, Trump stood between two fire trucks to greet a sizable gathering of people — “what a crowd, what a turn out,” he remarked — and he applauded the “total cooperative effort” on the ground in Texas. He drew cheers when he waved the Texas state flag. “We love you. You are special. We are here to take care of you,” the president said, calling the storm “historic” and “epic.” “It happened in Texas, and Texas can handle anything,” Trump said.
