:07:17. > :07:19.at this very moment, and we have just heard in the past few seconds
:07:20. > :07:23.that this weather event is on a scale never before recorded in
:07:24. > :07:31.history, with the possibility of rainfall reaching up to 50 inches,
:07:32. > :07:34.the most ever seen in this state. Harvey arrived in Houston with a
:07:35. > :07:39.vengeance, no longer backing the full force of a hurricane, but still
:07:40. > :07:42.deadly. In just 24 hours, more than two feet of rain fell on the fourth
:07:43. > :07:48.largest city in the United States. The results are devastating. This
:07:49. > :07:52.appears to be either the worst one of the worst floods Houston has ever
:07:53. > :07:57.had, and we are measuring it not in inches but in feet. Houston has
:07:58. > :08:02.ground to a halt, and with the rain still teeming down, the waters keep
:08:03. > :08:06.on rising. Police are urging people not to venture out, not to risk
:08:07. > :08:12.their lives, and this is why. Pedro told us he was almost swept away. I
:08:13. > :08:16.got stuck so I had to find a way to come home. I had to walk all the way
:08:17. > :08:20.there, and the rescue boat is over there, but it was helping someone
:08:21. > :08:25.else, so... There are rescues happening at there? Yeah. The storm
:08:26. > :08:28.has crippled transport and let people struggling to go about their
:08:29. > :08:33.lives. Right now, it is hard to believe that this is the richest
:08:34. > :08:36.nation on earth. You get the sense here of just how quickly this
:08:37. > :08:40.situation is unfolding. The flooding clearly caught these drivers by
:08:41. > :08:44.surprise, and still the rain is coming down, with no sign of it
:08:45. > :08:48.stopping. The authorities are struggling to cope. They are calling
:08:49. > :08:52.for more boats to be sent in. More than 2000 people in need of rescue

:10:02. > :10:05.reggae and other musics. There is the smell of chicken wafting through
:10:06. > :10:09.the air, and of course, the glorious outfits. Today has also been hugely
:10:10. > :10:15.emotional. As well as celebration, there has been commemoration. A lot
:10:16. > :10:20.of today has been about narrate it -- honouring the people who died in
:10:21. > :10:34.a Grenfell Tower disaster, and many more who became homeless. It started
:10:35. > :10:43.with a song to heal broken hearts. A promise of strength. Grenfell, we
:10:44. > :10:49.are united. Amen. And then, with the joyous sounds and vibrant colours of
:10:50. > :10:54.carnival, they celebrated the lives of those taken by tragedy. Many wore
:10:55. > :10:59.green for Grenfell, a colour symbolising growth and renewal. We
:11:00. > :11:05.are doing this in honour of the victims, to be honest with you. I
:11:06. > :11:18.have got my own relatives who died. We love the Carnival, Kadija loves
:11:19. > :11:22.the Carnival. We're bringing back colour and bringing back life. At
:11:23. > :11:26.times, those watching the procession were overwhelmed, sad and for those
:11:27. > :11:30.who once had a front row seat to the biggest street party in Europe. But
:11:31. > :11:35.with laughter and love, Carnival paid respect in the way it knows

:11:41. > :11:43.are all one Love, one community, and together, we are much more
:11:44. > :11:48.successful, and together, we celebrate the best of Britain. There
:11:49. > :11:54.have been moments of reflection, stillness and solitude, as well as
:11:55. > :11:59.gratitude for those who saved lives. Carnival has always had its roots
:12:00. > :12:04.film rarely within this community -- firmly within this community. It was
:12:05. > :12:08.started by immigrants who are facing racism, inequality and poor housing.
:12:09. > :12:12.Much of this still resonates on the streets of Notting Hill today. Since
:12:13. > :12:15.Grenfell Tower, the sense of community is important. We have
:12:16. > :12:24.already had a minute's silence for them and everything. Everyone had
:12:25. > :12:28.that minute. It is a good spirit right now, good vibes. Notting Hill
:12:29. > :12:32.Carnival will always symbolise celebration, freedom, but in the
