The Houston Texans announced Friday evening they will be helping out Orange County following the devastation from Hurricane Laura.
According to a statement from the team via the official Twitter account, the Texans will be donating $25,000 to the United Way of Orange County to assist with the efforts to cleanup and aid the community in the aftermath of Laura.
On early Thursday morning, Laura made landfall in southeastern Texas and southwester Louisiana as a Category 4 hurricane. As of Friday evening, the storm had claimed the lives of 14 people.
Laura threatened to cancel the Texans’ scrimmage at NRG Stadium Thursday, and the team was extra cautious on Wednesday and sent personnel home to work virtually. However, the storm’s devastation was far to the east of Houston and had no material impact on the Bayou City or the surrounding area.
