Hurricane Harvey may go down in history as one of the greatest natural disasters to ever take place in America.

As of Monday evening, two to three feet of rain have fallen on southeastern Texas, burying cities like Houston in water. Parts of Texas and Louisiana are bracing for another two feet of rain by Thursday. Harvey is now classified as a tropical storm with maximum winds of 45 mph. Winds reached sustained speeds as high as 130 mph on Friday.

Harvey is said to displace more than 30,000 people in Texas and Louisiana from their homes by the time the storm ends, according to The Washington Post.

“We are not out of the woods yet,” Elaine Duke, the acting Homeland Security secretary, said during a Monday morning briefing in Washington. “Harvey is still a dangerous and historic storm.”

About 2,000 people have been reportedly brought to safety with many more still in need of help.

Brooklyn, let’s be that help. Any donation, great or small, we’re sure will be appreciated.

Here are all the places that need your help and have been verified to use your donations solely for Hurricane Harvey relief efforts:
