The deadly storm is still causing major flooding and misery across an ever-widening area. Beaumont Texas is now without drinking water. Volunteers known as the "United States Civil Defense Assoc. are lending a hand and are asking for drinking water.

Contact your local water bottling company and ask them to donate as much bottled water as possible and send it to USCDA Beaumont, Texas.

We desperately need more volunteers!!!

The United States Civil Defense Association responds again

After Harvey is still wreaking havoc in parts of Texas and Louisiana, the biggest rainstorm in U.S. mainland history was weakening as it moved north toward Mississippi and Tennessee, but forecasters are warning that Harvey still has deadly potential. More than 30 people are believed to have died, and though the sun has emerged above Houston, Texas Governor Greg Abbott says "the worst is not yet over." National Guard members have made thousands of rescues, and the Navy is sending a ship to support relief efforts. But among the first responders have been volunteers loosely organized as the "Cajun Navy," as we saw 12 years ago during Hurricane Katrina. Reporter Matt Pearce followed along as a flotilla, led by a bright yellow fan boat painted with the words "SHO NUF," motored toward Port Arthur, Texas.

More from Texas:

Two explosions were reported Thursday at a Houston-area chemical plant that lost power amid flooding from Harvey.

"A true testament to a mother's will": saving her daughter, but not herself, from Harvey's floods.

Braving mud, debris and dread, Houston residents venture home to see what the storm left behind.

Catastrophic storms, once rare, are almost routine. Is climate change to blame?
