As the water rose, this Houston TV station fought to stay on-air

Poynter:

Hurricane Harvey may have forced the journalists at KHOU-TV to evacuate. But they didn't stop covering the storm.

The Houston-based CBS affiliate was covering the floods when water began to seep into the studio. The station, which is across the street from the Buffalo Bayou river, took on water up to the anchor desk while Len Cannon was on the air.

KHOU social media reporter Doug Delony posted video of Cannon on the air talking about the flood while water was rising around his shoes.

But later, as water poured into the station's lobby and alarms buzzed, News Director Sally Ramirez posted a video saying the KHOU was evacuating the building. KHOU has flood barriers around the building, but it was not enough to hold back Harvey's historic rain.
