The Latest on the Flooding in Houston

The Brian Lehrer Show | Aug 28, 2017

Alan Blinder, who covers the South for the New York Times, and Kevin Sullivan, Washington Post Senior Correspondent, talk about what they've seen in Houston individually. And listeners call in to report on what they're hearing from family and friends affected by Tropical Storm Harvey that flooded Houston, the nation's fourth largest city. More than 2,000 calls to 911 for rescue were made as massive flooding hit Houston and many other places across Texas. And Texas Governor Greg Abbott announced that there are still 185 critical rescue requests still pending.
