Emergency forces are still at work in Houston, Texas recovering whatever is left from the 1,000 homes destroyed from flooding this month.
Creeks and river beds continue to rise in the Cypress area of Houston, which is only resulting in more and more people having to leave their homes to reach safety.
"More than 8.8 trillion gallons of water have fallen on Texas only this month alone," said CBS.
That amount of water has resulted in many homes destroyed and many left helpless in Houston with no escape. More than 6,500 residents were without power for longer than a week this month only resulting in even more desperate attempts to get out.
The death toll is also rising with how fast the rescue team works in finding the cars that have been found underwater in lower parts of the highways.
The weather is to delivery another one to three inches more of water to the Cypress area over the next day. With most of the lightening gone from the area the power should be restored to most resident that are still able to enjoy its luxury.
More than $5 billion of damage as already been accounted for and that number is only rising.
