Though the damage is unknown, Hurricane Harvey is considered as the biggest storm to hit the US mainland in 12 years that has made landfall Friday night near Rockport, Texas with life-threatening flooding and destructive winds which could leave areas uninhabitable for an extended period of time.

Texas’ Rockport is a town of fewer than 10,000 people and about 30 miles up the Texas coast from Corpus Christi.

Warm waters of Gulf of Mexico powered Hurricane Harvey which made landfall as a Category 4 hurricane on Friday expected than earlier with winds up to 130mph (215km/h).

Now it has been downgraded to a Category 1, with 90 m.p.h. winds which will maintain a tropical storm strength for at least four days, bringing heavy rains and life-threatening flooding.

It is learned that tens of thousands of home are without power. Around 250,000 customers were without power statewide, a number likely to grow soon, estimate shows.

Hurricane Harvey is the first major hurricane landfall since Hurricane Wilma struck South Florida in October 2005.

Harvey is additionally be the most strongest landfall around there, known as the Texas Coastal Bend, since the infamous Category 3 Hurricane Celia pounded the Corpus Christi territory in August 1970 with winds up to 161 mph, harming right around 90 percent of the city’s organizations and 70 percent of its living arrangements and obliterating two sheds at the city’s airplane terminal.

The Texas Coastal Bend hadn’t seen a Category 4 landfall since Hurricane Carla, in September 1961, produced catastrophic damage from storm surge and high winds in Port O’Connor and Palacios, Texas, among other locations.

The main other Category 4 landfall of the record close to the Texas Coastal Bend was the scandalous Indianola tropical storm of August 1886, which crushed the town of Indianola only 11 years after another Category3 hurricane, in the long run transforming the previous bustling port into a ghost town.

It is learned that the Federal Alliance for Safe Homes can enable you to get ready for a tropical storm. NOAA also has great assets to anticipate flooding.
