Houston rapper Travis Scott and Live Nation hosted the Astroworld Festival, which turned from entertainment to tragedy in an instant on Friday, November 5, 2021. At least eight concertgoers were killed in the disaster, with hundreds more treated for injuries at the scene. Numerous people were hospitalized for cardiac arrest and other serious injuries. The Astroworld Festival tragedy will be one of the deadliest crowd-control disasters in decades.

Many citizens did not consider the losses that would be incurred by the courthouses in the community. The Courthouse Annex on Cypresswood in northwest Harris County flooded in Harvey’s torrential rains, leaving 3 to 4 feet of water and destroying much of what was inside. That water also flooded the property room, which contained 15,000 pieces of evidence and all of which, Precinct 4 Constable Mark Herman. Of that collection, he said some evidence is now missing or was damaged.
