Texas is bracing itself for the storm of the decade as Hurricane Harvey barrels towards the state, which is expecting catastrophic flooding, power outages, winds up to 130mph and 30 inches of rain. The U.S. National Hurricane Center said Harvey has 'rapidly intensified' and experts say weather conditions have created the perfect recipe for the monster Category 3 hurricane to form and crash into Texas late on Friday night. The national guard has been mobilized amid fears over the life-threatening flash flooding, which poses 'a grave risk' to Texans as the hurricane is expected to be the strongest to hit the United States mainland in 12 years since Hurricane Wilma in 2005.

Looking bad for Texas. The forecast is the storm is going to stall after reaching the coast and will dump in some areas almost 3 feet of rain.

Wasn’t there a confederate general named Harvey? This storm is clearly something that proves the danger of confederate stuff.

I’m sure it’s caused completely by climate change, that’ll be the next headline!

my guess is G-d is waiting for the globull warming claims and then the storm will circle the gulf and dissipate.

My movie was a disaster, but wait until it plays in texas.

Texans are told 'get out of Dodge' before 130mph winds and rain cause alligator-infested flood

Phew. "Alligator Infested Flooding". Might be the definition of misery.

This is a set-up story for the coming wave of “Trump failed in the Harvey response.”

So I’m not the only one picturing Texas attacked by a giant invisible rabbit.

Anyway, hope it won’t be as bad as predicted. Newsies will exaggerate incoming weather just for ratings.

“Alligator infested flooding”
Oh no!
Could it be . . . will it be. . . GATORNADO ?

“Worst hurricane in 12 years.”
That’s because we haven’t had a direct hurricane hit in 142 months.

Folks, it’s the beginning of Hurricane season.
Let’ calm down. If you don’t like Hurricanes . . . MOVE.

Pray for the well-being and safety of our fellow citizens in the path of the storm.

Our local news this morning was reporting that FEMA had activated emergency responders teams, and they are already heading from our area (Nebraska) to the gulf coast.

Prayers for those in the affected areas.

Don’t forget about the fire ants. They’re really going to be P-O’d.
