Hurricane Harvey slammed into the coast of Texas over the weekend, leaving at least eight dead and thousands displaced in its wake of devastation. While the nation watches, Houston, the fourth-largest city in the U.S., is transforming into an underwater wasteland, with days of rain left to come.

Unlike many other cities in Harvey’s path, Houston did not order evacuations before the storm—the last time a significant hurricane was predicted to hit the city, Rita in 2005, officials ordered citizens to evacuate. According to local newspaper the Chronicle, around 2.5 million people hit the road at the same time, clogging highways for nearly a day. Officials later reported at least 60 people died on the road due to heat conditions and dehydration after being stuck in traffic. The decision to not evacuate this time has left countless residents trapped in flooding homes.
