Check out this latest look at Harvey this morning. It has shown little in the way of degradation since making landfall over four hours ago. Another impressive fact of this storm.

Major Hurricane Harvey is now located 15 miles north/northwest of Rockport or 40 miles south/southwest of Victoria. Maximum sustained winds are slowly decreasing, but remain quite significant at 115 MPH with higher gusts. Harvey is slowly moving northwest at only 6 MPH. Significant storm surge flooding continues to be observed along the Middle Texas Coast. Port Lavaca recently recorded a storm surge of 6.3 feet. In addition, prolific rainfall in a feeder band east of Harvey is producing flash flooding in addition to the storm surge. Widespread, severe wind damage is expected in the vicinity of Harvey’s eyewall through the early morning hours as it moves northwest toward Goliad and just west of Victoria.
