Horses are evacuated in San Antonio, Texas, on August 25, 2017, as Hurricane Harvey approaches.
Harvey has intensified into a powerful category three storm, US meteorologists said August 25, as the Gulf Coast states of Texas and Louisiana braced for the first major hurricane to hit land since 2005. Harvey, which is set to make landfall late Friday into early Saturday, was packing maximum sustained winds of close to 120 miles (195 kilometers) per hour, the National Hurricane Center said. / AFP PHOTO / MARK RALSTON 25/08/2017 - 02:08
