Babies in NICU evacuated from Hurricane Harvey's path

CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas (KTRK) -- As Hurricane Harvey moves closer to the Texas mainland, evacuations continue along the state's coast. The smallest evacuees are 10 babies from a neonatal intensive care unit in Corpus Christi.

The children are being transferred to a hospital in Fort Worth.

The last of the patients arrived Friday morning.

Forecasters say Harvey is expected to hit the middle Texas coast late Friday into early Saturday before stalling over the state.

It may reach land as a Category 3 storm with winds of at least 111 miles per hour.
