Harvey has officially been upgraded to a Category 3 Hurricane.
Texas officials announced mandatory evacuations for all seven counties on the coast: Calhoun County, San Patricio County, Refugio County, Brazoria County, Jackson County, Victoria County and Matagorda County. In four of those countries, officials ordered their entire county to evacuate and warned those who chose to stay behind that their rescue could not be guaranteed. Voluntary evacuations have been urged for residents in other areas.
Galveston is already experiencing flooding and there have been tornado warnings in Galveston and Brazoria counties.
Here’s the Governor’s official hurricane information page.
