Hurricane Harvey made landfall on the Texas coast on Friday night, bringing with it what the National Weather Service called "life-threatening and Â catastrophic heavy rainfall," heavy winds, and a storm surge that could lead to massive flooding in cities like Houston, Galveston, and Corpus Christi. </p><p>Already, areas in East Texas are facing one of the worst natural disasters to affect the region in years. <a href="http://www.wcvb.com/article/harvey-power-outages/12099748" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Hundreds of thousands of Texans have already lost power</a>, and numerous parts of the Texas coast were evacuated before the storm.
