The storm is forecast to then slow dramatically, Mike Brennan with the National Hurricane Center told KUT, causing heavy rainfall and "life-threatening flooding conditions."</p> <p>Harvey quickly grew Thursday from a tropical depression into a Category 1 hurricane, and then developed into a Category 2 storm early Friday. By Friday afternoon, it had become a Category 3 storm before strengthening to a Category 4.</p> <p>Harvey would be the first major hurricane to hit Texas since Ike in September 2008 brought winds of 110 mph to the Galveston and Houston areas and left $22 billion in damage.</p> <p>According to the National Weather Service, the last time a Category 4 storm hit Texas was Hurricane Carla in 1961.</p> <p><strong>Coastal residents escape</strong></p> <p>State emergency officials identified at least eight counties and seven cities that issued mandatory evacuations, the Associated Press reported Friday.
