Harvey came ashore August 25 as a Category 4 hurricane with high winds and a destructive storm surge. After it moved slightly inland, it swirled in place over southeast Texas for a few days, dropping record-shattering rain and flooding several areas.
Hurricane Harvey is whirling towards Texas with winds reaching 130 miles per hour â a Category 4 hurricane that was fueled by an unlucky pit stop over a deep patch of warm water in the Gulf of Mexico. Warm water feeds hurricanes, which form when a weather disturbance, like a small storm, sucks the moist, warm air over the oceanâs surface into the lower atmosphere. When that moisture-laden air reaches cooler temperatures higher up in the atmosphere, the water condenses to form clouds â which spin and grow, fueled by more warm ocean water as it evaporates.
