</div><p>Hart&rsquo;s initial list of celebrities he challenged to donate to the Red Cross began with The Rock, Beyonce, Chris Rock, Jay-Z, Dave Chappelle, Jerry Seinfeld, Steve Harvey and Justin Timberlake. He wanted each of those celebrities to tag another group of celebrities to keep the challenge going. </p><p>Relief efforts have already begun in dealing with the tragic storm, which has kept thousands of Houstonians without power, some without their homes. Hart's video has already been viewed nearly 1 million times on Instagram and countless more on Twitter and other social media platforms. Houston Texans defensive end J.J. Watt has also launched a relief campaign of his own through <a href="https://t.co/SR6DmnNbyM" target="_blank">YouCaring</a>&nbsp;and started off the donations with $100,000. The fundraiser has already amassed over $215,000 since its creation.</p><p>"That's our city," Watt said in a video on Twitter. "It's very tough to watch our city get hit by such a tough storm and not be able to help."<br></p></div>    <div class="article-footer">
