    <p>Longevity, in a word. Hurricane Harvey is forecast to stay in the area for as long as four days. It will decline in wind strength so it will stop being called a hurricane by Sunday, but the wind is not the main story.<br /><br />Tropical cyclones are classified by wind strength, progressively named depression, storm, and then hurricane as the wind power increases. At all stages they produce vast amounts of rain. Even if they pass through they can leave 300mm of rain in a few hours.<br /><br />Harvey isn't moving much at all now so will produce heavy rain in the same place for days on end. Forecast models give the highest figure of about 400mm of rain in Texas Hill Country, west of Austin, and as far away as southwest and central Louisiana. As much as 1000mm is forecast for the coastal lands east of Harvey's centre (the city of Victoria).</p>
