<br>
As I write this, Hurricane Harvey
                                is bearing down on the state of Texas,
                                <strong>the most dangerous hurricane we have
                                seen in this country in over a decade.</strong>
                                Harvey’s destructive path has brought sustained
                                winds of nearly 100 mph, with total
                                expected rain accumulations of 15-30 inches. <strong>From everything that I know so far, this
                                storm’s impact will be devastating for thousands
                                of families.</strong><br>
<br>
If
                                you or a loved one are in the path of the storm
                                and in need of assistance, here is how to <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="http://american.redcross.org/site/R?i=g7ZrkWdB7-ZrsDxFdeCSwQ"><strong><font color="#ff0000">get

<br>
The
                                Red Cross, working alongside our volunteers and
                                partners, is prepared to shelter thousands of
                                impacted families and is mobilizing thousands of
                                disaster relief workers to help. More
                                than 24 shelters are open and over 40
                                emergency response vehicles have been activated
                                with more on alert. Trailers full of shelter and
                                relief supplies, including meals, water, cots
                                and blankets, are ready to help support families
                                in need. <strong>Join our efforts:</strong> <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="http://american.redcross.org/site/R?i=e347umsqDAFnwHSQVsv5LQ"><strong><font color="#ff0000">make an urgently needed donation right now to provide immediate relief to the families in Hurrican Harvey’s path.</font></strong></a>

Unlike
                                any hurricane in memory, this storm will be
                                stationary for days, dropping heavy rain over
                                the same counties in Texas through Wednesday.
                                <strong>We are expecting many homes to be
                                heavily damaged or destroyed and lives
                                disrupted.</strong> We will be there to provide
                                support on the ground for weeks, and possibly
                                for months to come <strong>but we cannot do it

<br>

I
                                will keep you updated on our response operations
                                and all the forms of assistance made possible by
                                your generosity and that of others. When
