Donate Blood/Diapers

"Diapers are not provided by disaster relief agencies," the Texas Diaper Bank said on Facebook. The agency has asked people to donate diapers to families displaced by the storm.

The South Texas Blood and Tissue Centersaid they were desperate for blood donations ahead of the storm. The agency specifically asked for O negative and O positive blood. The center asked people in the area to donate.

Expected to undergo rapid intensification today, possibly becoming the first major Hurricane to make a landfall in the US since Wilma in 2005. It's also going to sit over the same area for days producing some terrible flooding.

Either way, stay safe Texas brehs :salute:
