Hurricane Harvey left a deadly trail of devastation yesterday in Texas, as officials warned of “catastrophic” flooding and said that recovering from the most powerful storm to hit the United States in more than a decade could take years.
After tens of thousands of people fled its impending onslaught, Harvey flattened buildings and severed power across a huge section of the Gulf Coast, which is home to some of the most important oil refineries.
While only one person was known to have died thus far, officials said they feared the worst was yet to come, with torrential rains likely to inundate Texas for several days.
