Dallas Zoo takes in 700 evacuees following destruction from Harvey

The zoo is also offering free admission to visitors displaced by the storm

The Dallas Zoo has taken in more than 700 evacuees from the Houston area in the wake of flooding from Tropical Storm Harvey, according to a Facebook post on Tuesday.The zoo is also offering free admission to visitors impacted by Harvey through Sept. 4."Just show your ID at the ticket gates for free admission. We're also making Zoo tickets available to evacuees in area shelters. We hope a visit to the Zoo might help ease the pain and bring a smile to your face, even if for just a few hours," the post said. Meanwhile, there's an end of the rain and a sunny day almost in sight for the Houston area. Harvey is expected to move inland Wednesday, slog through Louisiana, then take its downpours north. Arkansas, Tennessee and parts of Missouri are on alert for Harvey flooding in a couple days."Once we get this thing inland during the day, it's the end of the beginning," said National Hurricane Center spokesman and meteorologist Dennis Feltgen. "Texas is going to get a chance to finally dry out as this system pulls out."So far, the highest rains recorded are just shy of the United States record for a tropical system. The rains in Cedar Bayou, near Mont Belvieu, Texas, topped the 50-inch mark with 51.88 inches as of 3:30 p.m. CDT. That's a record for the continental United States.Associated Press contributed to this report.
