NEW YORK (Reuters) - Shares of U.S. home improvement retailers and oil refiners rose on Monday as Tropical Storm Harvey dropped more rain on Houston, Texas, intensifying flooding in the fourth-largest U.S. city.

Harvey, the most powerful hurricane to hit Texas in more than 50 years, made landfall late on Friday and has killed at least two people. It has since hovered around Texas' Gulf Coast, where it is forecast to remain for several more days.
