        <p><strong>Washington,  </strong>Hurricane Harvey has made landfall in Texas as a powerful Category 4 storm with winds of 130 mph, the US National Hurricane Centre (NHC) said.</p>
<p>Harvey is the first Category 4 hurricane to hit the US since Hurricane Charley in 2004, reports CNN.</p>
<p>The storm, after making landfall on Friday night between Port Aransas and Port O&#8217;Connor, is pounding the Texas coast and its millions of residents with hurricane-force winds knocking down trees, power poles and signs, and with torrential rain deluging streets.</p>
<p>According to the NHC, the centre of the storm had passed over San Jose Island, bringing with it a dangerous and powerful eye wall.</p>
<p>some areas will see as much as 13 feet of storm surge and large, destructive waves.</p>
<p>Harvey could drop as much as 40 inches of rain in some places, and up to 30 inches in others, by August 30.</p>
<p>The combination of wind and water could leave wide swathes of South Texas &#8220;uninhabitable for weeks or months&#8221;, the National Weather Service in Houston said.</p>
<p>Earlier on Friday, Texas Governor Greg Abbott declared a state of emergency for 30 counties that lie in the storm&#8217;s path, CNN reported.</p>
<p>Abbott also requested additional federal help with a presidential disaster declaration.</p>
<p>President Donald Trump, who will visit the area next week, has signed a disaster declaration for the state.</p>
<p>Residents were urged to evacuate. A mass exodus from the coast caused extensive traffic jams along the state&#8217;s highways, while other people boarded up windows and stocked up on food and water ahead of the storm.</p>
