<p>The storm continues to slowly move inland, and has been downgraded to a tropical storm. As of 2 p.m. CDT Saturday, it was still packing maximum winds of 40 mph.</p>
<p>Officials anticipate that <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/category/harvey-2017">Harvey</a> will continue dumping rain on Texas through for days, with expected rainfall between 15 and 25 inches in many places. A few isolated spots could see up to 50 inches.</p>
<p>The National Hurricane Center is warning that flooding will be "<a href="http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/text/refresh/MIATCPAT4+shtml/271759.shtml">catastrophic and life-threatening</a>," and the National Weather Service called the rainfall "<a href="https://twitter.com/NWS/status/901832717070983169">unprecedented</a>."</p>
