    Houston

    TROPICAL Storm Harvey bore down on Louisiana on Wednesday, pouring down more water after having set rainfall records in Texas that caused catastrophic flooding and paralysed the US energy hub of Houston.

    The storm that first came ashore last Friday as the most powerful hurricane to hit Texas in more than 50 years has killed at least 17 people and forced tens of thousands to leave their flooded homes.
