Hurricane Could Hit Texas for First Time Since 2008

Tropical Storm Harvey could turn into a hurricane by Friday, the same day it's expected to make landfall in Corpus Christi, Texas. If it does indeed develop into a Category 1 storm, it will be the state's first hurricane since 2008, CNN reports. The National Hurricane Center is warning the state could see "multiple hazards" from the storm; meteorologists are predicting 10 to 20 inches of rain from the state's Gulf Coast toward Houston and into San Antonio. Gov. Greg Abbott has declared a state of disaster in 30 counties along the Gulf. The last hurricane to hit the state, Ike, caused massive destruction and killed 21 people across three states.
