Hurricane Harvey landed in Texas last night, and it’s making its way towards Austin. Even though the storm was downgraded from Category 4 to Category 1, it will still bring heavy rains and winds to the city, with potential flooding to the area. The slow-moving storm is predicted to hit Houston hard, and Austin is currently under a tropical storm warning.
With that, Eater is keeping a running list of restaurants, bars, and food trucks that are closing or changing service for the day to prep for the storm. Others are embracing the weather with beer and barbecue parties like LeRoy & Lewis at Austin Beerworks. Be safe and avoid all low water crossings.
