Is worst to come from
Harvey floodwaters?
HOUSTON — Crews overwhelmed by thousands of rescue
calls during one of the heaviest downpours in U.S. history have
had little time to search for other potential victims, but officials
acknowledge the grim reality that fatalities linked to Harvey could
soar once the devastating floodwaters recede from one of Ameri-
ca’s most sprawling metropolitan centers.
More than three days after the storm ravaged the Texas coast-
line as a Category 4 hurricane, authorities had confirmed only three
deaths — including a woman killed Monday when heavy rains dis-
lodged a large oak tree onto her trailer home in the small town
of Porter. But unconfirmed reports of others missing or presumed
dead were growing.
“We know in these kind of events that, sadly, the death toll
goes up historically,” Houston police Chief Art Acevedo said. “I’m
really worried about how many bodies we’re going to find.”
One Houston woman said Monday that she presumes six mem-
bers of a family, including four of her grandchildren, died after
their van sank into Greens Bayou in East Houston, though Houston
emergency officials couldn’t confirm the deaths. Virginia Saldivar
said her brother-in-law was driving the van Sunday when a strong
current took the vehicle over a bridge and into the bayou. The
driver was able to get out and urged the children to escape through
the back door, Saldivar said, but they could not.
“I’m just hoping we find the bodies,” Saldivar said.

The aggressive missile launch — likely the longest ever from
North Korea — over the territory of a close U.S. ally sends a clear
message of defiance as Washington and Seoul conduct war games
nearby.
South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff said the missile traveled
around 1,677 miles and reached a maximum height of 341 miles
as it traveled over the northern Japanese island of Hokkaido. The
distance and type of missile tested seemed designed to show that
North Korea can back up a threat to target the U.S. territory of
Guam, if it chooses to do so, while also establishing a potentially
dangerous precedent that could see future missiles flying over
Japan.
Any new test worries Washington and its allies because it pre-
sumably puts North Korea a step closer to its goal of an arsenal of
nuclear missiles that can reliably target the United States. Tues-
day’s test, however, looks especially aggressive to Washington,
Seoul and Tokyo.
North Korea has conducted launches at an unusually fast pace
this year — 13 times, Seoul says — and some analysts believe it
could have viable long-range nuclear missiles before the end of
U.S. President Donald Trump’s first term in early 2021.
Seoul says that while North Korea has twice before fired rock-
ets it said were carrying satellites over Japan — in 1998 and 2009
— it has never before used a ballistic missile, which is unambig-
uously designed for military strikes. North Korea also chose not
to fire its most recent missile at a lofted angle, as it did in previ-
ous launches to avoid other countries, and Seoul’s spy service said
the North launched from an unusual spot: the international airport
in its capital, Pyongyang. The South Korean military was analyz-
ing whether North Korea had launched a Hwasong-12, a new inter-
mediate-range missile that it recently threatened to fire into waters
near Guam, which hosts a major U.S. military base that the North
considers a threat.
Trump’s turn to face tricky
politics of natural disasters
WASHINGTON — George W. Bush never recovered from his
flyover of Hurricane Katrina’s devastation. Barack Obama got a
bipartisan boost late in his re-election campaign for his handling of
Superstorm Sandy.
Now, President Donald Trump confronts the political risks and
potential gains that come with leading the federal government’s
response to a deadly and destructive natural disaster. Hurricane
Harvey, the massive storm that has dumped torrents of rain across
Texas — flooding Houston and other cities — is the first major nat-
ural disaster of Trump’s presidency, and the yet-to-be-determined
scope of the damage appears likely to require a years-long federal
project.
Trump, who is suffering through a long stretch of low approval
ratings, has been particularly eager to seize the moment. He will
visit Texas Tuesday — and may return to the region again on Satur-
day. The White House announced the first visit even before Harvey
made landfall. On Monday, Trump promised Texans will “have
what you need” and that federal funding would come “fast.”
“We will come out stronger and believe me, we will be bigger,
better, stronger than ever before,” Trump said Monday during a
White House news conference.
Trump sent about two dozen tweets about the storm since Fri-
day, marveling at the size of the hurricane and cheering on emer-
gency responders: “You are doing a great job — the world is
watching!”

Inside Houston shelter, a loud
and sometimes chaotic night
HOUSTON — The second night inside the George R. Brown
Convention Center was louder, more crowded and at times, more
chaotic.
People who escaped rising floodwaters and pouring rain
spawned by Harvey arrived at the shelter Monday night by the
busload and truckload even as the convention center exceeded its
capacity of 5,000.
At one point, officers tended to two men lying unresponsive in
front of an exit, pushing away onlookers. The men had taken drugs
and would both recover within an hour.
Frustration grew in some places, more than three days after the
storm ravaged the Texas coastline as a Category 4 hurricane before
transforming into a tropical storm that currently sits parked over
the Gulf of Mexico ahead of an expected return to shore. One per-
son said she had only gotten one meal Monday while watching oth-
ers take several helpings of food.
Another person, Kevin Perkins, described sleeping on the floor
and feeling accosted by police officers inside.
North Korea fires missile over
Japan in aggressive test
SEOUL, South Korea — In a first, North Korea on Tuesday
fired a midrange ballistic missile designed to carry a nuclear pay-
load that flew over Japan and splashed into the northern Pacific
Ocean, officials said.
