President Trump live-tweeted on Friday updates about Hurricane Harvey, a storm that is strengthening as it makes its way through the Gulf of Mexico and is threatening the southern coasts of Texas and Louisiana.

Trump, who travelled to Camp David on Friday, said he is “closely watching” the hurricane and offered updates straight out of weather forecasts about the progress of the storm. Among the flurry of tweets, the commander in chief said the storm is strengthening to a Category 3 hurricane capable of sustained winds up to 125 miles per hour.
