By Emily Flitter and Marianna Parraga LAKE CHARLES, La./HOUSTON (Reuters) – Tropical Depression Harvey weakened as it moved inland over Louisiana on Thursday, leaving behind record flooding that drove tens of thousands from their homes in Texas, with the death toll rising as bodies were found in receding waters. The storm that paralyzed Houston is predicted to be one of the most expensive natural disasters in U.S. history and presents the administration of U.S. President Donald Trump with massive humanitarian and rebuilding challenges. (GRAPHIC: Storms in the North Atlantic – http://tmsnrt.rs/2gcckz5) The storm has killed at least 35 people and forced 32,000 people into shelters since coming ashore on Friday near Rockport, Texas, on the Gulf of Mexico Coast as the most powerful hurricane to hit the state in half a century. The Houston Fire Department will begin a block-by-block effort on Thursday to rescue stranded survivors and recover bodies, Assistant Fire Chief Richard Mann told reporters. On Thursday Harvey is forecast to move northeast through Louisiana into Mississippi, dumping 4 to 8 inches (10 to 20 cm) of rain, the National Hurricane Center said. Flood watches and warnings extend from the Texas-Louisiana coast into Kentucky. “Our whole city is underwater,” said Port Arthur, Texas, Mayor Derrick Foreman in a social media post where he also broadcast live video of floodwaters filling his home in the city of 55,000 people, about 100 miles (160 km) east of Houston. Nearly 30 inches of rain hit the Port Arthur area, the National Weather Service said. Beaumont, near Port Arthur, said it had lost its water supply due to flood damage to its main pumping station and residents in the city of about 120,000 people would lose water pressure from Thursday morning. Fort Bend County ordered a mandatory evacuation on Thursday for areas near the Barker Reservoir, which was threatening to flood. The reservoir is about 20 miles west from Houston. The county did not say how many people would be affected by the evacuation order. Clear skies in Houston on Wednesday brought relief to the energy hub and fourth-largest U.S. city after five days of catastrophic downpours. The first flight out of Houston since the storm hit boarded on Wednesday evening. Mayor Sylvester Turner said he hoped the port of Houston, one of the nation’s busiest, would reopen soon. The latest reported deaths on Wednesday included a married couple who drowned while driving through high water near Simonton, Texas, Major Chad Norvell of the Fort Bend County Sheriff’s Office said on Twitter. Police in Harris County, home to Houston, said 17 people remained missing. Nearly 200,000 homes and businesses in Louisiana and Texas were without power on Thursday, utilities reported. NEIGHBORS HELPING NEIGHBORS Another threat was the possible explosion of a flood-hit chemical plant in Crosby, 30 miles northeast of Houston. Arkema SA, which ordered an evacuation on Tuesday of residents within a 1.5-mile radius of its plant, expects chemicals to catch fire or explode at the facility in the coming days because of lost power to its cooling systems, a company official said on Wednesday. Flooding shut the nation’s largest oil refinery in Port Arthur in the latest hit to U.S. energy infrastructure that has sent gasoline prices climbing and disrupted global fuel supplies. [O/R] Moody’s Analytics is estimating the economic cost from Harvey for southeast Texas at $51 billion to $75 billion, ranking it among the costliest storms in U.S. history. At least $23 billion worth of property has been affected by flooding from Harvey just in parts of Texas’ Harris and Galveston counties, a Reuters analysis of satellite imagery and property data showed. “The worst is not yet over for southeast Texas, as far as the rain is concerned,” Governor Greg Abbott said on Wednesday. He warned residents of storm-hit areas to expect floodwaters to linger for up to a week and said the area affected was larger than that hit by 2005’s Hurricane Katrina, which killed more than 1,800 people in New Orleans, and 2012’s Superstorm Sandy, which killed 132 around New York and New Jersey. Houston’s metropolitan area, with an economy about as large as Argentina’s, has a population of about 6.5 million, far greater than New Orleans’ at the time of Katrina. Abbott asked that the federal government spend more on rebuilding Texas’ Gulf Coast than it did after the earlier storms. A day after visiting Texas to survey the damage, Trump pledged on Wednesday to stand by the people of Texas and Louisiana. The storm made it less likely Trump would act on his threat to shut the federal government over funding for a border wall with Mexico, Goldman Sachs economists said. They now estimate that probability at 35 percent, down from 50 percent previously. Vice President Mike Pence and several Cabinet secretaries will travel to Texas on Thursday to meet residents affected by the storm as well as local and state officials, Pence’s press secretary said. An army of volunteers has turned out to help the thousands of police, National Guard personnel, Coast Guard flood teams and emergency crews to ferry thousands of people stranded in floodwaters to safety. In Port Arthur, major highways in and out of the city were cut off by floods. “We are country people. We are helping each other. We have neighbors coming to the aid of neighbors,” Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office Captain Crystal Holmes said in a telephone interview.

Harvey throws a wrench into U.S. energy engine

HOUSTON (Reuters) – A hurricane in the heart of the U.S. energy industry is expected to upend years of U.S. excess oil capacity and low prices, with the impact expected to reverberate globally and affect energy markets for weeks.
Harvey hit the Texas shore as a fierce Category 4 hurricane, causing massive flooding that knocked out 11.2 percent of U.S. refining capacity, a quarter of oil production from the U.S. Gulf of Mexico, and closed ports all along the Texas coast.
Gasoline futures jumped as much as 7 percent to their highest level in more than two years in early Monday trading in Asia as traders took stock of the storm’s impact.
The outages will limit the availability of U.S. crude, gasoline and other refined products for global consumers and further push up prices, analysts said.
Damage assessments could take days to weeks to complete, and the storm continues to drop near-biblical amounts of rain as it lingers west of Houston, home to oil, gas, pipeline and chemical plants.
More than 30 inches (76 cm) fell in the Houston area in 48 hours and a lot more rain is forecast, according to the National Weather Service.
“This is not like anything we have ever seen before,” said Bruce Jefferis, chief executive of Aon Energy, a risk consulting practice. It is too soon to gauge the full extent of Harvey’s damage to the region’s energy infrastructure, he said.
The storm was felt from coastal ports to inland oil and gas wells. Oil producers in the Eagle Ford shale region of south Texas have halted some operations.
At least four marine terminals in the Corpus Christi area, an export hub for energy deliveries to Latin America and Asia, remained closed due to the storm.
“We just simply don’t know yet the damage all this rain will have on Houston’s energy infrastructure,” said Andrew Lipow, president of energy consultancy Lipow Oil Associates LLC.
Texas refineries could be offline for up to a month.

As the storm churned towards Texas on Friday, U.S. gasoline futures <RBc1> rose to their highest level in three years for this time of year. Those gains came even before several large Houston area refiners, including Exxon Mobil Corp <XOM.N>, halted some operations.
Exxon closed the second largest U.S. refinery, its 560,500 barrel-per-day (bpd) refinery in Baytown, Texas, complex because of flooding. Royal Dutch Shell Plc <RDSa.L> also halted operations at its 325,700-bpd Deer Park, Texas, refinery. The refinery may be shut for the week, it said.
Flooding on highways between Houston and Texas City nearer to the coast led Marathon Petroleum Corp <MPC.N> to cut back gasoline production at the company’s 459,000-bpd Galveston Bay Refinery in Texas City, said sources familiar with plant operations.
Marathon Petroleum <MPC.N> employees were unable to drive to work and conditions at the plant forced the company to reduce gasoline output, said industry sources. Marathon spokesman Jamal Kheiry declined to discuss plant operations.
Not every plant in the region was hit. Operations were stable at the largest U.S. crude refinery, Motiva Enterprises’ [MOTIV.UL] 603,000-bpd Port Arthur plant, the company said.
Motiva double-staffed the refinery’s crew ahead of the storm, as did Total SA <TOTF.PA> at the company’s 225,500-bpd Port Arthur refinery, said sources familiar with plant operations.
Coastal refineries in Texas account for one-quarter of the U.S. crude oil refining capacity. All of those refineries have been impacted by Harvey since Thursday when refineries in Corpus Christi, Texas, shut in production ahead of the storm’s landfall on Friday.
Colonial Pipeline, the largest mover of gasoline, diesel and other refined products in the United States, said its operations had not been affected by Harvey. Any disruptions to the conduit would send prices across the U.S. Southeast and Northeast soaring. Traders have been keeping a close eye on whether there will be an outage at the pipeline.
Citgo Petroleum Corp [PDVSAC.UL] and Flint Hills Resources [FHR.UL], two of the refiners that closed last week as the storm approached, did not provide updates about the status of their Corpus Christi refineries on Sunday.

Looking for a new, single-family home under $300,000 in Broward or Palm Beach counties? While not impossible to find, the choices are limited.
If buying from a builder in that budget-friendly price range, your options are likely to be confined to modest developments in the working-class towns of Tamarac, Riviera Beach, Haverhill and Greenacres.
A robust housing market, labor shortages and the high cost of land and materials are forcing most South Florida builders to bypass first-time buyers and young families and cater to clients with deeper pockets.
“For under $300,000? It’s slim pickings and hen’s teeth,” said Truly Burton, executive vice president of the Builders Association of South Florida.
Five years after prices hit bottom following the worst downturn since the Great Depression, affordable housing is becoming a major concern again. Many young professionals say they can’t afford to buy because salaries aren’t keeping pace with home prices.
Some buyers who don’t want to settle for a resale or a townhome are driving north to St. Lucie County or west to Collier County, where new-home prices in many communities have yet to eclipse $300,000.
“It’s gotten so expensive [in Palm Beach and Broward], and they can get a lot more house in St. Lucie County,” said Jon Rapaport, a division president for Lennar, which has two single-family developments for under $300,000 in St. Lucie.
Miami-based 13th Floor Homes is one of the only builders marketing starter homes in Broward and Palm Beach counties.
Hidden Trails — on a former golf courses at the Commercial Boulevard exit for Florida’s Turnpike — offers three-bedroom, single-family homes for less than $300,000. Buyers may exceed that amount if they choose granite kitchen countertops or other upgrade packages.
A second development nearby, Manor Parc, will be offering 50 homes from the $290,000s in about four months after selling out the first phase of its Village Collection models.
Juan Gonzalez, 32, paid extra for a patio terrace and other upgrades but still managed to stay under $300,000 for a three-bedroom home at Manor Parc.
Gonzalez, on active duty for the U.S. Coast Guard in Miami Beach, said he and his wife qualified for a larger mortgage on a bigger home but didn’t want to bust their budget. They moved in about four months ago.
“We just like newer houses,” he said. “You still have all your warranties. To us, it feels like a safer investment.”
Privately held 13th Floor sold out of a third affordable development in Tamarac, the 253-home Central Parc, in less than two years.
But the builder is moving north into Palm Beach County with Arbor Parc, a development of 500 single-family homes and townhomes along Military Trail between Blue Heron and Northlake boulevards.
For now, the builder is just taking reservations, but buyers can get three-bedroom, single-family homes there starting at $278,900. Construction is expected to start in the next few months, and the first residents would move in next year.
Mike Nunziata, division president for 13th Floor, declined to provide specifics on the company’s homebuilding strategy.
But he did say the builder maintains good relationships with land owners, vendors and other industry officials. What’s more, he said, 13th Floor tries to sell out of the communities as fast as possible, even if that means sacrificing on price.
“We want to see things move a little quicker rather than maximize the next dollar,” he said.
In the tiny town of Haverhill in central Palm Beach County, Express Homes by DR Horton has a few three-bedroom homes remaining at Haverhill Pointe for less than $300,000, spokeswoman Amanda Stephens said in an email.
In October, Express is launching Whitney Park in nearby Greenacres, where prices start at $284,990, according to Stephens, who declined to be interviewed for this story.
There are no other active single-family developments in Palm Beach or Broward counties with prices less than $300,000, according to data from the Metrostudy research firm, which tracks homebuilding across South Florida.
Stephens said DR Horton, the nation’s largest homebuilder, will be launching two more affordable single-family communities in the coming months. Details have not yet been released.
Anthony Trella, an industry consultant in Deerfield Beach, said building starter homes for under $300,000 is an impressive feat.
But he added that buyers will have to lower their expectations and accept smaller floor plans, higher density and modest amenities because there are virtually no other ways for builders to make lower-cost homes financially feasible.
“Whether or not buyers will be receptive to this product, time will tell,” Trella said. “But the builders can only do so much. No one has discovered the silver bullet overnight.”
