Texas Standard for August 31, 2017
As waters recede, the death toll rises in the aftermath of Harvey – and fears grow of more grim discoveries. Broadcasting from the Gulf Coast, we’ll bring you the latest on rescue and recovery efforts. Plus: Explosions reported at a flooded-out chemical plant northeast of Houston. And: As the biggest rainstorm in the history of the U.S. mainland makes it way well beyond our borders, Gov. Greg Abbott announces the worst is not over for southeast Texas. Also: An important ruling on the eve of the so-called sanctuary city bill. We’re live from the Galveston County Daily News. And no matter where you are, It’s Texas Standard time:
