“Texasas may face a huge disaster, as Hurricane Harvey approaches its 1118x1> coast, says the governor of this state.
This is a fourth-class storm, while Greg Abbott has asked for more federal assistance to weather the storm, which may be the worst the United States has hit in 12 years.
The National Centre of the Urangans said that the storm can bring great floods and endanger people's lives, in and around Houston.
At 6: 00 p.m. local time, the storm was 45 miles east of the Corps Christi, with the maximum stable winds, about 130 mph (215 km / h), the National Wargan Center said.
Forecasts say that the storm can bring more than an inch [100 cm] of rain and waves up to three feet [3.5 m] high.
Mr. Abbott said Harvey was turning into a very complex and dangerous storm. It is likely to hit the heart of the Texas oil refining industry, with Corpus Christi, a port city of 320,000 people on the path to the storm.
In a letter to President Donald Trump, requesting federal assistance, Mr. Abbott said: “The storm's vision, along with the flood of rain, can easily lead to billions of dollars of property damage and almost certainly loss of life”
