Trump can't stop marveling at the size of Hurricane Harvey on Twitter



As Hurricane Harvey dumped foot after foot of rain on Houston this weekend, President Donald Trump seemed to marvel at the extent of the disaster on his Twitter feed Sunday.

"HISTORIC rainfall in Houston, and all over Texas. Floods are unprecedented, and more rain coming," Trump tweeted Sunday night. "Spirit of the people is incredible. Thanks!"



Earlier on Sunday, the president tweeted, "Going to a Cabinet Meeting (tele-conference) at 11:00 A.M. on #Harvey. Even experts have said they've never seen one like this!"



In a third tweet, Trump exclaimed, "Wow - Now experts are calling #Harvey a once in 500 year flood!"



The disaster, which many viewed as a big test of Trump's nascent administration , has claimed at least five lives. More than two feet of rain has fallen in the Houston area. That could increase to as much as 50 inches Sunday night, according to the latest National Hurricane Center projections.



The White House said Trump would visit Texas on Tuesday. He spent the weekend at Camp David, where the White House said he held two meetings with Cabinet members via teleconference about the storm response.

Denim diva! Model Martha Hunt struts around NYC in close-cropped blue jumpsuit She's a catwalk fixture for Victoria's Secret. And on Friday Martha Hunt seemed to be honing her strut as she navigated the Chelsea neighborhood of New York City. The 28-year-old North Carolina-born beauty looked leggy as usual thanks to her eye-catching denim jumpsuit. The garment managed to show off the stunner's lithe frame thanks to a very slim-cut waist, which was also emphasized by an incorporated belt. Though she measures a towering 5ft10in tall, the legs appeared to be just a bit long, meaning the clotheshorse had to roll them up at the ankle. Strappy block heels appeared to make her walk a breeze, while she carried her belongings in a small tan purse.  A thick gold bracelet on her left wrist appeared to be her only other accessory. Her blonde locks were parted in the middle and fell in gentle waves down to her chest. Heavy lashes, subtle blush and peach lipstick ensured the ...

She REALLY wanted that biscuit! Greedy puppy is rushed to the vets after getting her head stuck in a glass cookie jar while trying to steal a treat A hungry puppy landed her owner with a vet bill after getting her head stuck in a cookie jar while trying to nab a biscuit. Mother-of-two Sarah Unwin, of Rugby, Warwickshire, was horrified when her four-month-old Rhodesian Ridgeback Clara got her head stuck in the glass jar. After attempts to free her with soap and washing up liquid ended in vain, the 26-year-old and her husband Ben were forced to take her to the vets, who eventually got her out for a fee of £30. Images show sneaky Clara peering out of the glass jar – as if wearing it like an astronaut's helmet. Mrs Unwin admitted this was not the first time the mischievous pup has got herself into trouble, and is often caught stealing her five-year-old daughter's Barbie dolls. She said: 'The kids had been having the biscuits that were in the cookie jar and there was h...
