this hearing was put together before harvey had a name. so we will do our oversight and continue to at the appropriate time. i anticipate a delegation will hold hearings or do appropriate review. i'm one when there is an emergency going on tries to stay out of the way of the first responders and let them do their job. and so at the right time we will do that and we will have administrator pruitt before our committee sooner rather than later. i share frustration that it has been a long delay in getting some of these positions filled partly by our friends in the senate. but the time has come for the agency heads to come before our committee and they will. now, as to this hearing, i appreciate subcommittee chairman murphy in the opening comments. we care deeply about what is happening in texas. we care deeply about what is about to happen in florida. my own district is on fire. much destruction going on there. all these things matter. you want to talk about air quality, we can use your support on some of our forestry legislation to reduce fue

the epa has been a key agency responding to harvey. for this reason this hearing should be a timely and important step in exploring how to strengthen the agency as it supports local responders and begins to assess the possible environmental impact of the flooding, tox iic releases. but this is devoted to a much less significant topic. the scope of environmental risk caused by this ongoing crisis while still coming into focus are considerable. people are evacuating through dir di dirty floodwaters. there have also been reports of fires at chemical facilities. additional reports have suggested possible damage to leaking gas tanks at fuel facilities which if true may pose environmental concerns that the epa will need to address. i'm particularly concern bd reports of flooding sites and what damage they may have caused. according to epa, 13 of the 41 former and current toxic waste sites in harvey impacted areas have flooded and may have experienced some damage. additionally the city of houston contains approximately 450 petro chemical plan

it is two-face harvey. i haven't unable to cut my grass two weeks. what i want to get at is i moved down here from pennsylvania. i am a carpetbagger. that is what they call the yankees that move down south. know, was up there, you when sandy hit, i was even affected in pittsburgh. i got a little fender bender. that ain't nothing. it is terrible what is happening to people in houston. it is awful. i feel like this nation, this nation was founded on, i mean, billion, ahe $45 shouldn't be able to -- where does that money go? i want some of that money. i know -- i feel like -- americans, i love this country, but people just want -- they want, they are looking out for themselves -- i mean these people in office, they don't think they can be touched, but one if by land, two if by sea. paul revere said that. you, gentlemen. guest: thank you. host: that gets to the point we talked about earlier -- guest: we have to have accountability. it is making sure the public has confidence that the money is not being wasted. you can document that. you end up having thi

and now hit by harvey. do you see people changing their minds and saying we're not going to rebuild, we're going somewhere else? >> that's not what i'm sure of. there were a lot of structural problems with new orleans in general. even going back to visit, i went back, you can see a lot of the damage is still there. some neighborhoods haven't rebuilt. most of it has. it's all about how houston recovers from this. can they structurally make it better so in case this type of flooding happens again, these affects wouldn't be felt as detrimentally as they were this time. i don't know the answer. it needs to go through the planning commission and figure out can they survive something like this again. i have friends that live in houston. they said they don't know when they can go back and return. i think the effects of this will be felt in the short term but in the long-term as well as to whether or not the city can recover from this. >> lauren: gary i respect your point. i hope you're right this disaster won't af

the epa has been a key agency responding to harvey. and for this reason this hearing should be a time line and important step in how to strengthen the agency as it supports local responders and begins to assess the possible impact of the flooding, toxin releases. but this is devoted to a -- people are evacuating through dirty and contaminated flood waters that may contain bacteria and toxic substances. there's also been reports of fires anddential reports express possible damage to leaking gas tanks at fuel facilities. which if true will be problems the epa needs to address. for example, accord to epa 13 of the 41 former and toxic waste sites in harvey impacted areas have flooded and may have experienced some damage. ditionally the city of houston contains chemical petrol plants. our local communities need the expertise of the epa to prevent and mitigate such releases. but the trump administration has been working over time to weaken epa's ability to help back home. and now it's really showing at a time of disaster. the storm also rais

so good. >> we have got to talk about the fall-like weather and harvey, harvey, harvey. it is going to be making an impact for labor day week. look at the still somehow holding together. it is a tropical depression and it will not be having an impact on us like down in the gulf. it's in and out of here as we head through the top of sunday but we are still going to see a good deal of rain from it. let's get a look right now at the timing on this. so, the rain is actually going to begin to arrive late tonight into early tomorrow morning. could be a few sprinkles this afternoon or evening. cloudy skies. then push ahead into saturday afternoon. notice how it's very on and off. we'll see lots of cloud cover for your saturday. no doubt about that. you get periodic breaks from the showers. but then we move into saturday evening and overnight the rain picks up again. looking at anyone from an inch of rain. those temperatures well below the norm for this time of year. 61 at leesburg. 57 in winchester. running errands today, the temperatures hover in the to battle rain and will be

more storms like harvey are coming. you have to have a solution to involve catching the water, when it comes down, and allowing it to be gradually absorbed and gradually flushed out to the gulf of mexico. this is the green solution. that is the -- the detention ponds, flood control reservoirs and so on. it is expensive because it involves setting aside precious land and that it can't be developed and can't collect property taxes on. but ultimately, in the long run, it is probably the better solution. >> christopher, you have written that texas is really houston, in particular, a microcosm for a much larger debate that pits the interests of in surers against those of home builders. explain. >> what we're seeing in texas isn't new. a version of this happens every time there is a big storm. home builders or developers said the priority should be building as affordable and widely as possible because people need homes. that is true. but ensurers say think of future risk. if we build too cheaply, the next storm will be more d

we have to turn and talk about harvey, irma. irma is now a category 5 storm, barreling towards the caribbean and possibly florida's east coast. hurricane hunters flew into the storm for a closer look. i want you to look at this image. they're flying right into the eye. you can barely see. for more on irma's path, i want to check in with nbc news meteorologist steve sosnic. places like puerto rico, already in economic distress. the governor says they've set $15 million aside, which is nothing. >> right. >> and haiti, one of the poorest countries in the western hemisphere. i want to say the second poorest. they cannot afford to get hit like this. they're still getting over the previous one. >> this is a storm that sets people back decades, so this is why we really need to keep a careful eye. we're hoping that over the next couple of hours to later on today, the storm starts to make a northward jog. that would spare the islands, the northern fringe of that eye wall, which is the strongest part of this storm. but again, this is an h

>> harvey was a different storm. harvey was a rapidly intensifying the storm. number one, the intensity came up quickly. it made a impact into port author and basically moved up to the state over five days and stalled out which copious amounts of rain. list over it-- storm is different. the key is when it starts to slow down to make its weight north and then we will have a better idea of the true impact that we will see in florida or the southeast. the bottom line is it's the steering current and model guide is clear. it's going to come up the florida peninsula and there is a lot of certainty in this forecast. we didn't have certainty in harvey. >> obviously flooding is a big concern for evacuation areas, but is there a significant health concern with the some of the floodwaters? >> absolutely. anytime you have standing water for an extended period of time there are challenges that occur. the way we manage that is to test the water and make certain we know what's in the water and what the health challenges are. i mentioned we have seen over 5000 individuals in

let's talk about harvey in the southeastern united states. still a tropical depression and continues to rotate across the western sections of tennessee and kentucky. that's where we have flash flood warnings. but we can't forgot what is taking place in texas and louisiana. this is a major threat going forward. still 25 gauges and rivers at flood stage. one of them, the brazos river at richmond west of the houston region rising 43 feet and currently at record levels. it stays at record levels for the next four days. it is going to take four days before this river even begins to start to recede. you can imagine the health concerns going forward as well. now let's talk about the other system we're concerned over the atlanta. this is hurricane irma. there are several computer models that we look at. one is a european model and one is an american model. the european model takes us to the end of next week and makes a hurricane between miami and cuba. the american model, this is just updated recently. still a strong category 4 hurricane as we look i

as of today, 47 people were killed by harvey's rath. neighborhoods like the one i'm standing in, this is called will chester west. the white house estimates more than 100,000 homes like the ones you see behind me are either damaged or destroyed. the scope of the catastrophic flooding is captured in these stunning satellite neighborhoods. entire neighborhoods that were once green are now submerged in brown water. of course, chris, there are concerns about contamination and diseases that you see behind me and all across the houston region. >> fema announcing they've approved assistance for nearly 100,000 people so far. the job is going the fall to congress. they're awaiting the trump administration's request for billions in emergency funding, the first wave of help to kind of deal with the fallout of the disaster. sources tell cnn the house could vote as early as next week on that first round of funding. vice president mike pence in texas consoling victims, seeing the devastation firsthand, even chipping in in some cleanup. president trum

(steve) bennett has now retained a prominent bay area civil right attorney who will investigate whether police viola

the epa has been a key agency is finding to harvey. for this reason, this hearing should be a timely and step in exploring how to strengthen the agency as it supports local responders and begins to assess the possible environmental impact of the flooding. this hearing is devoted to much less significant topic, the scope of environmental risks caused by this crisis are critical. there have been reports of fires at chemical facilities from which may result in the release of toxic pollutants. there are also possible reports of damage to begin gas tanks, which if true -- leaking gas tanks, which if true epa will have to assess. 41ording to epa, 13 of the former toxic waste sites in harvey have flooded. the city of houston contains 450 petrochemical plants. these have contributed 74 substanceof hazardous emissions into the air. we need the expertise of the epa to prevent and mitigate such releases. the trump administration has been working overtime to weake e epa. it is showing at a time of disaster. this raises ongoing concerns over safety

money donated for harvey will be spent on the storm. >>> now while south texas cleans up from harvey, other parts of the u.s. will be dealing with severe weather this weekend. >> let's get the forecast from accuweather justin. good morning. >> good morning to you. we still have lots of heavy rain to come throughout portions of kentucky, portions of tennessee. that potential for several additional inches of rain. some areas could see even more ongoing flooding problems, and even the potential for severe weather out to the east of harvey into the afternoon with damaging winds. another hurricane out into the atlantic. this bears watching down the road. this is in the next several days as the impacts could be making their way to the northern leeward islands. it's something to watch. also, heat really cranking up in the northwest over the course of the next couple days. we are talking record high temperatures in the northwest. but meanwhile, more moisture means additional rain here into the northeast. kenneth, diane? >> justin, thanks. >>> and vice president mike pence brought a personal t

similarly in harvey southwest airlines help the with some of the evacuation out of the area. so i wanted to take this moment to thank industry partners for their support, too. >> and then one final message again, like harvey the whole community want to come around the southeastern united states and our partners in puerto rico and the virgin islands as well as a seminole tribe. the whole community needs to be involved, get involved the nvoad.org and you can activate your insurance policies if you have damage and go to disasterassistance.gov if you been impacted as well. thank you, folks. [inaudible conversations] >> florida senator marco rubio and bill nelson got an aerial view of the damage done by hurricane irma earlier this week. here's a look.

the president will then be going to a hurricane harvey relief center. we are not sharing the details of which specific one. there are certainly security concerns. and again, as the president wanted to make certain he expressed earlier in the week with his visit to texas, he did not want to interrupt any of the rescue and recovery efforts right now. as you're seeing, the tarmac is dry there, things look to be a little bit better. though again, the process of cleanup and recovery is pretty extraordinary and will be years in the making, according to texas governor greg abbott, who met the president and first lady there on the tarmac. they had a few words together on the other side of the car that we were able to see directly on the other side of the camera but we could see them speaking directly with him. after that the president meeting with members of the texas delegation there back at ellington field, and beyond that, the president will take off once again and head to lake charles, louisiana, another area that was hit by a second landfall that was made

here's the rater left of harvey hammering middle tennessee. it will produce pretty good rains up into middle kentucky, but the moisture holds off here until tomorrow evening. the heaviest activity will probably be in two waves, one tomorrow night and one saturday night. temps in the 60s tomorrow, dry, harvey brings the showers friday evening right on through saturday. yellow weather alert -- friday through saturday but nothing major from harvey. i don't think it will be in a major risk for strong storms. high risk for some isolated showers and gusty winds. in terms of impact, street flooding low, but outdoor plants, high risk to those because it will affect outdoor cooking, outdoor reunions and if you want to move everything to labor day, it will be safe on labor day. tomorrow at noon, temperatures in the 60s and cloudy but still dry. you can walk to lunch tomorrow. then we get into tomorrow evening. still dry with precip as far north -- bring precip as far north as manassas and i favor that, actually. by saturday morning, here comes the rain
