Hurricane Harvey was "dangerously approaching the Texas Coast" Friday morning, expected to drop as much as 35 inches of rain and usher in "life-threatening" storm-surge flooding upon landfall late Friday or early Saturday, the National Hurricane Center said.

The combination of heavy rain, storm surge, flooding and strong winds could leave wide swaths of South Texas "uninhabitable for weeks or months," the National Weather Service in Houston said, employing daunting language not seen by CNN's experts since Hurricane Katrina, which left more than 1,800 people dead in 2005.
As heavy rain and gusty winds move in over Texas, coastal residents were deciding Friday whether to flee or to stay put and brace for a potentially deadly hurricane.
Conditions are "expected to deteriorate through the day," the hurricane center said. "Preparations along the middle Texas coast should be rushed to completion this morning."
Harvey, now a Category 2 hurricane, is on track to strengthen to Category 3, with winds of at least 111 mph by the time it makes landfall around Corpus Christi," forecasters say. The storm is then expected to stall, broadening the flood threat across Texas and the South, forecasters said.
