The National Hurricane Center has issued an advisory instructing Texas residents along the Gulf of Mexico coast to "rush" their storm preparations as Hurricane Harvey "rapidly" intensifies.
All preparations for residents along the middle Texas coast should be completed today, the National Hurricane Center said. The storm is expected to make landfall around 1 a.m. Saturday.
The coastal city of Corpus Christi has so far not implemented mandatory evacuations, but Mayor Joe McComb called for people to leave in the "strongest possible terms."

I hope Cantoree gets hurt just enough so that pompous ass has to retire
So far, Coldplay hasn't canceled.
Now you told the looters another thing to look for good going
Lots of rain, not much wind.
After the storm, when they run out of pot, the munchies will kick in and all the Taco Bells will be packed.
The video at the link continues the statement from the mayor to the effect that he wasn’t going to risk the lives of police and fire trying to get people to leave their homes that don’t want to.
Everythings cancelling. Probably won’t even rain here.
Wouldn't the strongest possible term be "mandatory?"

Drown wearing work boots. The looters won’t steal those.
A LOT of rain. Avoid downtown, especially Lamar between MLK and the river.
115° would be a weather crisis to me.
Where is "here"?
Liberals just waiting. Hoping they can get Trump on this, like they got Bush. I hate you f*cking liberals!
Strongest storm to hit the Coastal Bend since Celia in 1970. Rode that one out on the Navy base.
Not chancing this one. Headed to northern Arkansas.
Just make them provide the police with contact info for next of kin
Dry 115° is ten times more pleasant than humid 95°. :)
Our only big problems are monsoon thunderstorms and flash flooding.
We spend the winter months near Sierra Vista. Could not stand the summer heat. Beautiful country.
They better or they will be renamed “Wetplay”. :-)
my advice will help
the county coroner
know who you are
Implement contraflow on interstate highways heading inland now or face a parking lot hundreds of miles long. It may be a bit hysterical, but it may not be. It’s been some time since a big storm has hit down there, hasn’t it? Is all new development built to hurricane code on raised pier foundations? If not and you’re anywhere near overwash or flooding from canals, creeks and such, better start making preparations whether your’e staying or going. Vehicles, get them to high ground or even build raised temporary ramps that are sheltered from the wind, that’s what they do on the Outer Banks. Some just drive the front of their trucks up on the porch, or have extra wide french doors with reinforced floors and drive them into their living rooms. Anything heavy that can be blown into the house, secure it. Water, fill your tubs and sinks. Power will likely be out for a while, miserable in summer. Food, got any in the house? Enough to carry you for a few weeks, that won’t spoil? This is where prepping makes a lot of sense whether or not the economic apocalypse ever occurs, major storms. Too late now if you haven’t done it, better head inland with the rest of the herd.
