JJ Watt's GoFundMe for Houston, just broke 3.25 million in donations 45 minutes ago!
His next goal is 5 million! He started out with a goal of 200K but people broke that in the first hour that he had set it up. Hurricane Katrina in 2005 was the costliest weather disaster in US history and cost 125 billion dollars (per The Weather channel). Sandy cost 65 billion in 2012. There is no way to know how much Harvey will wind up costing, either in dollars or human (and animal) suffering. I think that no matter how much we can afford to donate (to any charity that we chose) it is sorely needed.

Perhaps you all will see the "helping people" on the news feed now. The trucks driving towards the water towing boats. The big monster trucks. I've heard the helicopters. I've seen the sun today. The Brazos river, near me, has yet to crest. A record high tomorrow. I'm safe, and Blaze is still at the hospital. I ventured out to make a donation at an evacuation sight. Some local restaurants are open today, taking the days proceeds to pay their employees.

Starbucks has donated $250,000 to help the cities in Texas that has been devastated. You can make a donation to Red Cross at any Starbucks. Tomorrow, I will be donating what I can to help the citizens of Texas.

Jess checked in on FB. Said he is doing good and has not been affected by flooding so far.

According to the news this morning, the fund is now up to 9 million. I just hope that the money gets to the people that need it.
JJ stated that no administration costs will be taken out and that all will go to relief efforts. What that entails, I have not yet been able to find out. His new goal is 10 million. Quote:

Spent the morning learning how to help evacuees file for FEMA assistance. Feels good to be helping!

I know this is a checking in thread
but.... gotta give kudos to all the folks that gave of themselves to help! Go Cajun Navy! ( yes, I'm a little biased)
The coolest story, so one of the guys from the Cajun Navy were gassing up early in the storm to go to Houston... another guy at store asked where he was going... He replied, Houston... so the guy opened his wallet and emptied it to give towards gas... not only that, but then others at the gas station start giving money, water, beer, whatever they could! Awesome! I know there are so many that helped in so many ways... Just an example of the good! And of course, I had to brag on fellow Louisiana peeps

Those photos are just awesome!
 I thought about that situation if it were me... I get how there are instances when people are damn near fleeing for their lives ... I don't think I could without my pets. TG though I have only little buggers now. Previously I had two 100+ lbs. Corsos and I don't think most would be ... hmm, thrilled(?) ... to have them in their boat. lol  Quote:
