Texas is facing a "very major disaster" as Hurricane Harvey approaches its coastline.
Harvey, currently a category three storm in the Gulf of Mexico, will make landfall on Texas' central coast today.
The National Hurricane Center said storm surges may bring life‑threatening floods in and around Houston.
Harvey is turning into a very complex and dangerous hurricane and it is likely to strike at the heart of Texas's oil refining industry, with Corpus Christi, a port city of 320,000 people, in the path of the storm.
