Finally, relief for flood ravaged Houston seems to be near as Tropical Storm Harvey slowly churned toward the Gulf of Mexico on Tuesday afternoon.

But the departing remnants of Harvey's backside continued to dump more rain in Houston where 56 credit unions collectively serve nearly 800,000 members and their families. In addition, reported levee breaches threatened to pour even more water onto roads and neighborhoods where homeowners are evacuated their flooded homes and vehicles. Since Friday, 49 inches of rain has fallen on the nation's fourth largest city, which is a new record or the Lone Star State, according to national media reports.

"Reports are now that the storm is moving Northeast more rapidly than previously forecasted," said Craig Rohden, president/CEO of the $78 million Space City Credit Union. "If this happens, we should start to dry out over the next 24 to 48 hours. We stand by ready and able to assist our members when they need us. We anticipate many people will have flooded vehicles and homes."
