Tropical Storm Harvey made landfall again Wednesday morning, this time near Cameron, Louisiana, the National Hurricane Center said, bringing more rainfall to Louisiana after dumping more than 9 trillion gallons of water on Texas and causing unprecedented flooding in Houston. The National Weather Service had some rare good news for Houston on Wednesday morning:

Our tropical storm warning, storm surge watch, and flash flood watch have all been canceled. Improving weather conditions to come! #houwx

But it also posted some sobering radar imagery of what Texas has endured since Harvey made landfall in Rockport late Friday.

Radar animation of #Harvey now extends a little more than 5 days long. Amazing and scary to watch this engine churn out all that rain. pic.twitter.com/h0LyBQzQ1C

Harvey is projected to crawl through Louisiana and Arkansas on Wednesday and Thursday, then head across Mississippi, Tennessee, and Kentucky through Saturday.
