:06:08. > :06:12.just beginning to understand the impact of hurricane Harvey. So far
:06:13. > :06:15.thankfully no reports of deaths, but people are still going door to door
:06:16. > :06:19.and checking on friends and neighbours in damaged houses like
:06:20. > :06:22.this one. At the same time, the torrential rain is now moving
:06:23. > :06:26.inland, meaning the authorities are having to deal with the problem of
:06:27. > :06:35.flooding as well as the damage from vicious storm. Are you in here? This

:07:19. > :07:24.LAUGHTER No brains! This is a really poor

:07:36. > :07:40.night, 130 mph winds that left nearly a quarter of a million homes
:07:41. > :07:46.and businesses without power. It was the strongest hurricane to strike
:07:47. > :07:50.Texas since 1961. It's still too early for a conference of assessment
:07:51. > :07:59.of the damage but it will be costly. What's your worst case scenario
:08:00. > :08:02.here? Harvey, that's about as worst-case scenario for a community
:08:03. > :08:06.the size of Victoria. We have never seen a forecast for that kind of
:08:07. > :08:11.localised brain. It is the most dangerous forecast we have ever
:08:12. > :08:16.seen. And the danger is not over yet. The storm is moving inland,
:08:17. > :08:20.dumping huge amounts of rain. In Houston the flooding has begun and
