Ways To Help Texas Hurricane Victims
Monday, August 28, 2017 at 12:01AM The other day I posted that Hurricane Harvey was likely to be worse than many of us could imagine. Sadly, it seems like I was right. The flooding in and around Houston is just horrific. That isn't even taking in to account the towns that were leveled by Hurricane Harvey's winds. Sadly, it is supposed to keep raining for days in Texas, making things worse.
Twitter is full of amazing images of average Americans doing amazing things to help their neighbors in need. The video from CNN below is very compelling as reporter Ed Lavandera and volunteer Austin Seth help rescue two elderly residents.

Then there's the clip of regular folks driving their boats down a busy street, looking for trapped residents.

If you are so inclined, you can help the victims of Hurricane Harvey by a simple text donation. The SMS donation is $10 so that's not much, but every bit helps and if we all donate, that's a nice chunk of change from the metal community.
