La tormenta tropical Harvey se fortalece rápidamente mientras se dirige a la costa sur de Texas y probablemente se convierta en huracán el viernes, dijeron este jueves funcionarios de los servicios de meteorología estadounidenses.

El Centro Nacional de Huracanes (NHC) de Miami emitió este jueves una alerta de huracán para la costa de Texas desde Port Mansfield a Matagorda.

En el comunicado se habla de que podían producirse inundaciones "letales" debido a la tormenta, que probablemente toque tierra el viernes, según el NHC.

A las 12H00 GMT, Harvey estaba unos 540 km al sureste de Port Mansfield, Texas, y se dirigía hacia la costa a unos 16 km/h.
