Hurricane Harvey made landfall between Port Aransas and Port O'Connor in Texas on Friday night, with wind speeds as high as 130 mph.

The storm continues to move inland, and has been downgraded to Category 1. As of 7 a.m. CDT Saturday, it was still packing maximum winds of 80 mph.

Officials anticipate that Harvey will continue dumping rain on Texas through the weekend, with expected rainfall between 15 and 30 inches in many places. A few isolated spots could see up to 40 inches.

The hurricane will likely become a tropical storm by Saturday night. But the National Hurricane Center is warning that flooding will nonetheless be "catastrophic and life-threatening."

Here's what the area looks like.
