<p>Here <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2017/08/25/us/hurricane-harvey.html" rel="nofollow">are seven things</a> you should know about the storm&rsquo;s recent developments and where it might be headed next.</p>
<ul><li>Hurricane Harvey was birthed out of the Gulf of Mexico&rsquo;s warm waters and it will strike the U.S.</li>
<li>It moved towards Texas on Friday.</li>
<li>It will soon hit&nbsp;the state with high winds and dozens of inches of rain that could hit coastal and inland communities.</li>
<li>Gov. Greg Abbott said in a news conference Friday that the storm was expected to be &ldquo;more dangerous&rdquo; than previous hurricanes due to the potential that it might flood Texas, affecting state residents for a week or longer.</li>
<li>Abbott asked President Trump to declare Hurricane Harvey a federal disaster.</li>
<li>The National Hurricane Center has been monitoring the storm closely, upgrading it to a Category 3 on Friday afternoon, carrying sustained winds surpassing 110 miles per hour.</li>
<li>The National Weather Service added that Hurricane Harvey could be making landfall near Corpus Christi, Texas early Saturday.</li>
</ul><p>&ldquo;I would urge people to strongly consider the evacuation process,&rdquo; Mr. Abbott said during a news conference. &ldquo;There is a possibility, the probability, that a lot of people will go for a long time without the basic necessities.&rdquo;</p>
<p>Houston Major Sylvester Turner had a different reaction, saying that there is no evacuation orders issued for the city as of yet.</p>
