"This disaster is going to be a landmark event." That's how the head of FEMA describes the devastation of Hurricane Harvey. "This is a storm that the United States has not seen yet," he adds.

 

This morning, a local official called the flooding caused by Hurricane Harvey "an 800-year event." The National Weather Service describes the damage as "unprecedented" and "beyond anything experienced." According to the Insurance Information Institute, flood damage may equal that of Hurricane Katrina, the costliest natural disaster in United States history.
