Unfortunately, it is much more than a rainmaker and a foot is an underestimate. Harvey is a flood of the century maker. Some areas have gotten 20" of water in 12 hours. As of now many areas have received 35" inches of rain. Fifty inches of water will likely be reached by Wednesday. Most all time rain records have been broken or will be.
The damage by Harvey might equal or exceed Katrina.
