<h3>
<span style="font-weight: normal;">&nbsp; Hurricane Harvey, powered by the Gulf of Mexico&#8217;s warm waters, made landfall as a Category 4 hurricane at about 9:45 p.m. Friday, earlier than expected. It came ashore just northeast of Corpus Christi, Tex., packing 130 m.p.h. winds.</span></h3>
<h3>
<span style="font-weight: normal;">&#8226; A single storm-related death was reported on Saturday in Rockport, Tex., but search and rescue operations were just getting under way.</span></h3>
<h3>
<span style="font-weight: normal;">&#8226; While the extent of the devastation was not yet known, emergency officials reported heavy building damage in Port Aransas and in Rockport on Saturday, with shredded trees and blown-off roofs.</span></h3>
<h3>
<span style="font-weight: normal;">&#8226; The system was downgraded to a tropical storm Saturday afternoon, and is expected to produce a &#8220;multiday rainfall disaster&#8221; over the next five to six days, according to the National Hurricane Center.</span></h3>
<h3>
<span style="font-weight: normal;">Gov. Greg Abbott on Saturday said that his primary concern remains &#8220;dramatic flooding&#8221; in the wake of the storm.</span></h3>
<h3>
<span style="font-weight: normal;">Speaking at a televised news conference in Austin, Governor Abbott said state and other agencies remained active in search and rescue efforts. &#8220;We don&#8217;t have any information right now that we can confirm&#8221; about fatalities, he said.</span></h3>
<h3>
<span style="font-weight: normal;">He warned Texans to be vigilant and to stay away from rising water, noting that it can be far deeper, with swifter currents, than it may appear.</span></h3>
<h3>
<span style="font-weight: normal;">&#8220;Turn around, don&#8217;t drown. Don&#8217;t risk your life,&#8221; he said. &#8220;The most important thing all Texans can do is to put your life and the protection of your life first and foremost.&#8221;</span></h3>
<h3>
<span style="font-weight: normal;">He said agencies were focused on supporting evacuees from Corpus Christi and elsewhere, and on getting supplies, such as food, water and ice, to areas that needed it. &#8212; JOHANNA BARR in New York.</span></h3>
<h3>
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><b>Hundreds of thousands are without power.</b></span></h3>
<h3>
<span style="font-weight: normal;">The storm remained a hurricane well after landfall, and conditions, including tornado warnings, made it difficult for the authorities to begin even preliminary damage assessments.</span></h3>

<h3>
<span style="font-weight: normal;"> More than 250,000 customers were without electricity early Saturday, a figure that was likely to increase. Corpus Christi urged people who were still in the city to boil water.</span></h3>
<h3>
<span style="font-weight: normal;">Images and videos on social media showed substantial damage to buildings, including roofs and walls pulled away. Power lines were toppled, and phone service was down.</span></h3>
<h3>
<span style="font-weight: normal;">Early rainfall totals were staggering. The National Hurricane Center said that an automated rain gauge near Victoria, a city of about 68,000 in the path of the storm, had recorded more than 16 inches in 24 hours.</span></h3>
<h3>
<span style="font-weight: normal;">As rains picked up in Houston before daybreak on Saturday, the lights began to blink and, in some areas, go out. The city&#8217;s roads, largely quiet since Friday evening, were almost entirely empty. &#8212; ALAN BLINDER in Houston</span></h3>
<h3>
<span style="font-weight: normal;">Rockport, in the storm&#8217;s path, took a direct hit.</span></h3>
<h3>
<span style="font-weight: normal;">Rockport, a coastal city of about 10,000 that was in the hurricane&#8217;s path when it came ashore. Charles J. Wax, Rockport&#8217;s mayor, said that conditions were too dangerous on Saturday morning to deploy emergency officials across the city, but that an initial review, as the storm&#8217;s eye passed overnight, showed &#8220;widespread damage.&#8221;</span></h3>
<h3>
<span style="font-weight: normal;">&#8220;Homes and businesses completely destroyed, lives disrupted,&#8221; said Mr. Wax, who said that a Fairfield Inn and Suites had sustained heavy damage. &#8220;We do not know if there is any loss of life, but that may be because we haven&#8217;t been able to assess.&#8221;</span></h3>
<h3>
<span style="font-weight: normal;">&#8220;We took a Category 4 storm right on the nose,&#8221; said Mr. Wax, who had issued a mandatory evacuation order. &#8212; ALAN BLINDER in Houston</span></h3>
<h3>
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><b>Prisoners were being transported to safety.</b></span></h3>
<h3>
<span style="font-weight: normal;">About 4,500 inmates at three prison units in Rosharon, Tex., were being bused to other facilities as the nearby Brazos River rose under heavy rain. By noon, the river had swelled by at least 15 feet since Friday, according to the National Weather Service.</span></h3>
<h3>
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><b>Shelters were readied for evacuees.</b></span></h3>
<h3>
<span style="font-weight: normal;">As thousands of coastal residents were ordered to evacuate on Friday, and others chose to leave on their own, inland cities welcomed an influx of evacuees on Friday.</span></h3>
<h3>
<span style="font-weight: normal;">Gov. Greg Abbott said the state government was preparing to assist up to 41,000 evacuees. As many as 54 shelters would be open, officials said, with the potential for that number to grow.</span></h3>
<h3>
<span style="font-weight: normal;">Dallas opened a shelter for up to 500 people, and was ready to open two more if needed, officials there said.</span></h3>
<h3>
<span style="font-weight: normal;">&#8220;We are prepared to handle much more than we are right now,&#8221; said Rocky Vaz, director of the Dallas Office of Emergency Management.</span></h3>
<h3>
<span style="font-weight: normal;">In Austin, the American Red Cross scheduled an &#8220;urgent shelter volunteer training&#8221; session on Friday as officials prepared for more evacuees to arrive.</span></h3>
<h3>
<span style="font-weight: normal;">And in San Antonio, more than 150 people were being housed at a former elementary school as of Friday morning, according to the local news station KSAT-TV. Many of those seeking shelter had arrived by bus.</span></h3>

Cars45, Nigeria&#8217;s foremost Car buying and auctioning online platform for used cars, has entered a car trade-in deal with Kia Motors.<br><br>This partnership was borne out of a necessity to ensure that any pre-owned car can be traded-in at Kia&#8217;s Akin Adesola office in Victoria Island Lagos to Cars45 for a new Kia, a fairly used Kia or other cars owned by Cars45. <br><br>This relationship is intended to provide Nigerians with a much more credible environment to trade-in their cars with ease while ensuring that they get the best value for their money.<br><br>According to the CEO, Cars45, Etop Ikpe, said: &#8220;Our business is beyond providing a platform for Nigerians to sell their cars. The desire to meet the customers&#8217; expectations is what is paramount for us at cars45.
