In a four-day period, Hurricane Harvey ravaged southeastern Texas, pouring more than 40 inches of rain over the region.
Harvey is the wettest tropical cyclone on record in the contiguous United States, resulting in floods that inundated hundreds of thousands of homes, displaced more than 30,000 people, and prompted more than 13,000 rescues.*
Hurricane Irma maintained 185 MPH winds for longer than any previously recorded tropical cyclone. It’s powerful winds make it the strongest Atlantic Ocean hurricane on record.
