THE LATEST: Four people have died in the slow-motion disaster that is Harvey, but that number could rise as inundating continues to worsen in Houston and throughout southeast Texas. Harvey, which has barely moved since slamming Texas on Saturday as a Category 4 hurricane, is still a tropical storm.
