Blasts at Harvey-flooded chemical plant near Houston In Texas, Tropical Storm Harvey is being felt well away from the city of Houston. A hospital in Beaumont is under evacuation, and the entire water system in that city has been shut down.

Jim Malewitz, investigative reporter for the Texas Tribune , updates the situation.
