Here's What You Need To Know About Harvey On Wednesday Morning

Tropical Storm Harvey, the worst storm to hit the Houston region in 50 years, made landfall again on Wednesday in southwestern Louisiana, threatening more catastrophic flooding and forcing tens of thousands of people to seek shelter.

The storm made landfall near the Texas border, just west of Cameron, Louisiana, the National Hurricane Center said. Meteorologists have said the storms impact wont be nearly as strong, but the relentless rain is still cause for concern. The National Hurricane Center forecasted Tuesday evening that another 6 to 12 inches of rain would pummel areas from the north and east of Houston to southwestern Louisiana.

Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards (D) said that the storm appeared to be less severe than expected.

The worst case scenario has not happened, he said. Were very grateful for that.

By Wednesday morning, conditions in Houston finally began to improve and the National Weather Service canceled its flash flood, tropical storm, and storm surge warnings for the area.

Our tropical storm warning, storm surge watch, and flash flood watch have all been canceled. Improving weather conditions to come! #houwx
NWS Houston (@NWSHouston) August 30, 2017

Across the Houston metro area, rescue efforts continued even as the rain began to let up. As of Tuesday evening, federal and local agencies had rescued approximately 13,100 people across southeastern Texas, according to The Associated Press.

Officials warned of a long and difficult recovery for residents of the countrys fourth-largest city. Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner announced Tuesday evening that he was imposing a midnight to 5 a.m. curfew to ensure public safety. (The mayor initially scheduled the curfew to begin at 10 p.m., but amended it to give rescue efforts more time.)

Weve got to recognize a new normal, a new and different normal for this entire region, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) said Monday .

But not all of Texas is out of the storm. In Port Arthur, located 91 miles east of Houston, water continued to rise to alarming levels and even the citys main shelter began to fill with water . And for those who had not yet evacuated, the chances of rescue grew slimmer, according to authorities.

Were getting 911 and rescue calls but theres nothing we can do, Jefferson County Sheriff Zena Stephens told KFDM . We cant take the boats out right now. The water is rising and its coming there and its no way to get to them.

Heres what you should know about the ongoing impact of the storm.
