(CNN Money) — Corporate giants are making big contributions to disaster relief organizations to help victims of Tropical Storm Harvey.
Over 1,000 people were rescued overnight from record floods in the Houston area.
So far, authorities said the storm has killed five people along the Texas coast. They expect the death toll to rise.
The storm could leave behind almost $40 billion worth of damage, according to an early estimate from CoreLogic on Friday. Data from the firm published before Harvey hit Friday showed that roughly 232,721 homes on the Texas coast were in the storm’s path.
