I was planning to watch the coverage of Hurricane Harvey today and help where I can with media interviews. However, I was seeing a disturbing narrative evolve in social and traditional media about Hurricane Harvey. NOAA NHCHurricane Harvey made landfall (twice) Friday evening east of Corpus Christi, Texas as a Category 4 storm. Hurricane Harvey is only the fourth category 4 hurricane to make landfall in the United States since 1970 according to Colorado State University hurricane expert, Dr. Phil Klotzbach. Local officials were emphasizing that people should NOT evacuate for the heavy rain threat, and I think for good reason.
