Hurricane Harvey Rapidly Intensifying; Strongest Texas Coastal Bend Landfall in At Least 47 Years Likely; Extreme Flood Threat
Aug 24 2017
Story Highlights
Harvey has become a hurricane in the Gulf of Mexico and is strengthening.
It will make landfall as a formidable hurricane Friday night or early Saturday morning along the Texas Gulf Coast.
Harvey will then stall or meander for a few days, leading to a dangerous flood threat in parts of Texas and Louisiana.
Extreme rainfall leading to severe flooding, storm surge flooding, and damaging winds are all threats.
Hurricane, tropical storm and storm surge warnings have been issued for parts of Texas.
Harvey has rapidly intensified into the third hurricane of the 2017 Atlantic hurricane season and may become the nation's first Category 3 landfall in almost 12 years, poised to hammer the Texas Gulf Coast with an extremely dangerous combination of torrential rainfall, storm-surge flooding and destructive winds this weekend, before taking a strange, meandering path next week.
Stay safe everyone and please check in. :grouphug:
