Houston police have rescued at least 3,400 people in the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey - and that number is expected to rise, Police Chief Art Acevedo tweeted Tuesday morning. More than 17,000 evacuees were being housed in shelters across Texas as of Tuesday morning, the Red Cross tweeted.

And as flash flooding continued for a wide swath of the area Monday night, evacuees arrived by the thousands at makeshift shelters in convention centers, suburban high school gyms and a minor league ballpark.

However, he warned, that it is a "dynamic" situation and "every number we put out right now is going to change in 30 minutes."
