Hurricane Harvey resulted in the worst flooding disaster in the United States, House Homeland Security Chairman Michael McCaul said Wednesday, but the response has been "one of the best-coordinated recoveries that I've seen."
"First of all, my governor submitted a disaster [declaration] to get FMEA pre-positioned on the ground early on to respond to this enormous, devastating event, that I think the state has never seen before," the Texas Republican told Fox News' "America's Newsroom" program, noting that he has been in his House position through Hurricanes Katrina, Rita, and Sandy as well.

Democrats would be quick to criticize President Donald Trump's performance following Hurricane Harvey's devastation even if he took extreme measures, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee said Wednesday.
"If Donald Trump got a drinking straw and personally sucked every drop of water out of the flood zones of Houston the Democrats would say that he didn't put the water back in the right place," Huckabee told Fox News' "America's Newsroom." "There is nothing he is ever going to do to satisfy the critics who hate him and want him out of the office."
Trump's critics have said he has not been showing empathy to the massive storm's victims, but Huckabee pointed out Tuesday's visit was largely for him to meet with officials.
"He did not want to go to Houston for the obvious reason his presence there would have disrupted an enormous amount of emergency efforts to save people's lives," said Huckabee. "I think that is showing empathy. He is scheduled to go back this weekend and go to Houston and to be able to see those victims and put his arms around them. So this is the early stage of what is going to be a very, very long recovery for the people who are affected by these floods."
Exxon has given $1M so far.

Police find van of family of 6 believed to have been swept away by Hurricane Harvey
Officials announced on Twitter they have located a van they believe may have belonged to a family of six who was swept away by raging flood waters brought by Hurricane Harvey on Monday.
Manuel Saldivar, 84, and his wife Belia, 81, along with their grandchildren Daisy Saldivar, 6, Xavier Saldivar, 8, Dominic Saldivar, 14, and Devy Saldivar, 16, were allegedly driving across a bridge in Greens Bayou, Texas, in order to escape rising waters when they encountered even more severe flooding.
...
"At least two bodies that we can see in the front seat, but based on the angle and the type of van with no windows in the back, it is hard to look inside," he told reporters, according to BuzzFeed News.
The department is working with a local medical examiner's office and a police dive team to identify the bodies.
A lot of hard feelings & blood feuds can get settled + lost in the honest in an event like this.

Notice the oil slick.
Arkema chemical plant raising possible risk of explosion Arkema chemical plant raising possible risk of explosion
6 Hours Ago | 03:22
Arkema's North America chief executive said on Wednesday the company has no way of preventing chemicals from catching fire or exploding at its heavily flooded plant in Crosby, Texas.
The company evacuated remaining workers on Tuesday and Harris County ordered the evacuation of residents in a 1.5-mile radius of the plant that makes organic chemicals.
Richard Rowe, who is CEO of the company's North America unit, told reporters the company expects chemicals on site to catch fire or explode within the next six days. He said the company has no way to prevent a fire or potential explosion near the plant that is swamped by about six feet of water.
The plant evacuated its remaining workers on Tuesday amid the risk of an explosion after Tropical Storm Harvey knocked out power and flooding swamped its backup generators.
