It’s looking like the worst predictions are coming true:
Worth noting that @NHC_Atlantic forecasts indicated potential for Category 4 landfall in Texas of Hurricane #Harvey

The rain from the storm is still a major concern as well:

Stalling before landfall or half-way b/c of large eye will compound wind damage w/punishing surge. #Harvey rainfall will just keep coming.

Landfall is expected in the next 3-4 hours:
