Tropical Storm Harvey has forced a Houston television station to evacuate to higher ground as rising floodwater overtook their offices.
The station lost its broadcasting signal Sunday morning but was working to get back on the air.
Reporters and editors at KHOU, a local CBS affiliate, on Sunday tweeted photos and videos of flooding inside the station's lobby.

"My last look at the KHOU Channel 11 lobby before it was flooded by Harvey," tweeted the station's managing editor, Bill Bishop. In the video, water is shown streaming in through closed doors and swallowing the legs of chair and tables.
