Giffin-Scheffers, a mother of three, said she hasn香蕉视频直播檛 slept properly in two days as she and her husband take shifts on the lookout for signs of danger.

Every time her phone lights up with a tornado alert, her family has to hunker down in their pantry as wind gusts howl through the city like 香蕉视频直播漟reight trains,香蕉视频直播� she said.

Canadian engineer Raihan Khondker said his family safely left their home in southeastern Texas, but he returned to the Bay City area as part of a support team at a nuclear power plant.

For three days, Khondker, who is from Toronto, has been working tirelessly to manage 香蕉视频直播渙ne thing after another,香蕉视频直播� driving through water-choked streets to help out where he can.

Khondker said houses in his neighbourhood have been turned 香蕉视频直播渦pside down,香蕉视频直播� and rising waters in a nearby river threaten to send a potentially catastrophic flood into the area.

香蕉视频直播淓very single creek in the neighbourhood is full,香蕉视频直播� he said. 香蕉视频直播漈here is an imminent flood coming to Bay City, we just don香蕉视频直播檛 know how much water we are going to see.香蕉视频直播�

Harvey slammed into Texas as a Category-4 hurricane Friday and has since been downgraded to a tropical storm, which is causing torrential rains.
