A crowdsourcing website developed during Hurricane Harvey has become an indelible resource for thousands of people in need of help during disasters.
CrowdSource Rescue volunteers helping people during ImeldaOf the more than 46,000 people helped to date through using CrowdSource Rescue, 370 were in southeastern Texas this past week after Imelda -- a tropical storm that weakened to a tropical depression -- thrashed the area, according to founder Matthew Marchetti, 29.
Flooding on Thursday left Houston neighborhoods in several feet of water, forcing authorities to perform more than 400 high-water rescues, the Harris County Sheriff's Office said. There were 323 stranded vehicles and 22 major accidents. There have been at least two storm-related deaths, according to law enforcement officials. Raul Eliseo Rivas-Hernandez, 56, was pulled Thursday evening from a van submerged in floodwater; he died after being taken to a hospital.
