If Harvey gets upgraded to a Category 1 hurricane, it will be the first to hit the state since Hurricane Ike in 2008. </p> <p>At 7 a.m. Central Time, the NHC said the storm was located about 380 miles southeast of Port O’Connor, traveling at 10 miles an hour with wind gusts up to 60 miles an hour. </p> <p>“A hurricane warning means that hurricane conditions are expected somewhere within the warning area. A warning is typically issued 36 hours before the anticipated first occurrence of tropical-storm-force winds, conditions that make outside preparations difficult or dangerous. Preparations to protect life and property should be rushed to completion,” <a href="http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/text/refresh/MIATCPAT4+shtml/240855.shtml" target="_new" class="icon " >the center said</a>. </p>

Refineries on the coastline in Harvey’s path — from Corpus Christi in Texas to Lake Charles in Louisiana — account for about a third of total U.S. refining capacity, according to media reports. </p> <p>Royal Dutch Shell PLC
