<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12px">Here is the latest
information as of 5 PM concerning Hurricane Harvey. Harvey continues to
strengthen and is expected to become a major hurricane before landfall Friday
Night. Hurricane and Storm Surge Warnings are in effect for the Mid
Texas Coast. Preparations should be rushed to completion in preparation
for this major hurricane! Preparations should be made to plan for
devastating to catastrophic wind impacts. Structural damage to sturdy
buildings, some with complete roof and wall failure are possible. Life
threatening storm surge is expected with peak storm surge values of 6 to 12
feet above ground level. After landfall, we are most concerned about
this storm stalling or meandering over the area for several days which will
result in life threatening, devastating, and record flooding. Rainfall
amounts of 15 to 25 inches with isolated areas receiving up to 35 inches
possible are expected!</SPAN><SPAN
