Tropical storm Harvey: Houston(USA) mayor imposes curfew

Tropical storm Harvey is due to make landfall again on Wednesday – this time it is Louisiana(usa), rather than Texas, that is set to bear the brunt.

The state has already had some localized flooding thanks to Harvey, but meteorologists predict further flooding as the storm dumps rain across the region.

A number of tornadoes are also forecast.

Harvey is expected to strike the Texas-Louisiana border again on Wednesday, and continue to batter Louisiana through the later part of the week.
