More than 420,000 Texas residents were asked to be seduced yesterday, and a recommendation was given to the vast coastal area that surrounds Houston. Authorities are preparing shelters in San Antonio, Dallas and Austin for those evacuating from the coastal strip. Lina Hidalgo, who heads Harris County, which includes Houston, warned of deadly winds and devastating waves. She said the lives of millions are in danger in light of the storm's trajectory toward the city, the fourth largest in the United States.
"This storm could cause unprecedented destruction," she told a news conference. "We really have to say it: be prepared for the worst."
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott said the National Guard would send forces to coastal communities with waterproof vehicles and rescue helicopters in preparation for the hurricane. The White House said President Doland Trump would be briefed on the storm and that the Federal Emergency Management Agency would send supplies to the region.
