AllSides Media Bias Rating: Left
While the initial impact of Hurricane Harvey may have seemed lighter than expected from a Category 4 storm, the destruction from the lingering storm continues to grow. Mandatory evacuations have been announced in some Houston neighborhoods, as over 30 inches of rain have fallen in some areas. With another 15 to 25 inches of rain still expected in the same region, flooding has already reached catastrophic levels.
