Abbott says there is a reality that we have to come to grips with and that is, we are just beginning the process of responding to this storm.
He says the number one goal from Corpus Christi all the way to east of Houston is still protecting and preserving life and rescuing everyone we can find.
Abbott referred to his phone call with President Trump saying he wanted to pass on his gratitude to the local leadership for their efforts.
HISTORIC rainfall in Houston, and all over Texas. Floods are unprecedented, and more rain coming. Spirit of the people is incredible.Thanks!
