Residents of Texas' low-lying areas were warned to evacuate after Hurricane Harvey turned into a Category 3 storm. Harvey is expected to hit Texas on Friday night or Saturday morning, and may become the US mainland's worst storm since Hurricane Wilma in 2005. The wind speed is currently 85mph (140km/h), and has a maximum sustained wind speed of 100mph (161km/h). Forecasters warned that some areas may receive up to 35 inches of rain, and others will receive over a foot.
Harvey, which came ashore on August 25 as the most powerful hurricane to hit Texas in more than 50 years, has killed an estimated 50 people, displaced more than 1 million and damaged some 200,000 homes in a path of destruction stretching for more than 300 miles (480 kms).
