HURRICANE HARVEY BARRELS INTO TEXAS

Hurricane Harvey slammed into southwestern Texas Friday night as the storm's "eyewall" - the area where storm-related damage is typically the heaviest - battered communities along the coastline as the storm headed straight toward densely populated Corpus Christi, according to the National Weather Service. The storm arrived  more quickly than some expected, leaving hundreds of thousands of Texans scrambling to evacuate from towns and cities in the storm's path.
