						"@value":"CORPUS CHRISTI, Tex. — In downtown Corpus Christi, Hurricane Harvey ripped shingles and satellite dishes from roofs, uprooted palm trees and knocked over street signs, but the area avoided major flooding.In an interview, Corpus Christi Mayor Joe McComb said city officials are just beginning to assess the damage but he has not received reports of widespread destruction.But as hurricane and tropical force winds raged here until dawn, McComb said he expects crews will still discover “major structural problems” in at least some neighborhoods.Because Harvey landed near Rockport, Tex., about 30 miles to the northeast, Corpus Christi was spared the brunt of the storm.“The storm surge never happened, but the winds came in a whole lot higher than anyone predicted,” McComb said. “Some areas also got hit with pretty hard rain, but I was impressed with how little rain we had at my house.”As of 8 a.m., McComb said half of the city’s 330,000 residents were without power. The power outage disrupted the city’s waste water treatment plant and officials are asking residents to boil drinking water until further notice.“The pumps are not working, so at some point, if it all just stays in the line, ultimately it will come back to residents,” said McComb, adding getting the system back on line is now the city’s top priority.McComb said he has received no reports of death or injuries in the city. But shortly before midnight, Corpus Christi police reported a homeowner in the southern part of the city shot and wounded an apparent intruder.In downtown Corpus Christi along the city’s waterfront, many hotels and businesses remained closed Saturday morning.The 20-story Holiday Inn Marina hotel, where many relief workers and journalists rode out the storm, reported it’s running low on food. A note in the lobby and in elevators asked guests to use their own “emergency” food and water supplies before purchasing the hotel’s dwindling supplies. The hotel is a major staging area for Red Cross officials who flew into the city ahead of the storm.“It’s going to be a mess, and it’s going to be a whole lot of inconvenience for a few days, and a lot of a stress, but at least we didn’t lose lives due to flooding,” said McComb.",

The impact, though, is that “the storm is a bit more intense, bigger and longer lasting than it otherwise would be,” Kevin Trenbert, a climate researcher with the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colo. told Mooney.And Harvey is expected to bring record-setting flooding, which could also be a result of climate change.The sea level along the Texas coast is higher &lt;a href=&#034;https://tidesandcurrents.noaa.gov/sltrends/sltrends_station.shtml?stnid=8771450&#034;&gt;than it was 100 years ago or more&lt;/a&gt;.

However, we will return to Galveston only when it is safe to do.”The Carnival Freedom and Carnival Valor — both scheduled to arrive in Galveston on Saturday — remained at sea as of Saturday morning, with plans to stop in New Orleans to replenish fuel and supplies, a Carnival representative said in an email. The cruise line said it would give passengers the option of disembarking at New Orleans but was “strongly encouraging” them to remain on board.The Carnival Breeze, which is scheduled to return to Galveston on Sunday, docked in Cozumel overnight Friday and had plans to travel toward Galveston on Saturday afternoon, the cruise line said.“The next scheduled voyages for Carnival Freedom and Carnival Valor will be shortened with itineraries to be determined,” the cruise line said. “Guests who sail on modified voyages will receive a prorated refund equal to the number of cruise days missed. Those who wish to cancel may do so without penalty and receive a future cruise credit.”",
