100,000 damaged homes in Harvey's wake
WASHINGTON - Musimchronicle
The White House estimates that 100,000 homes were damaged by tropical storm Harvey, homeland security advisor Tom Bossert said.
The White House plans to make a request for supplemental disaster funding from Congress to begin to address the damages, he said as quoted by dpa.
Some 7,000 patients from medical facilities were being evacuated from Beaumont, Texas, where running water supplies were cut off by flooded pumping stations, he said.
Harvey made landfall in Texas a week ago as a category-4 hurricane, bringing record-breaking downpours and leaving large areas of Houston and other parts of the state badly flooded.
Moody’s Analytics forecast losses near $70 billion, including economic impacts.

To 'eternal style' of late Alaia
Paris - Muslimchronicle
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opened Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews. Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations.
