						<div class="articleBody" itemprop="articleBody"><p>Hurricane Harvey is a Category 3 storm set to make landfall in Texas later today, and the country is preparing for the worst as millions of people are in the path of the storm and likely to lose power at some point.</p>
<p>One city that could be affected the badly by Harvey is the city of Houston, which has had its fair share of floods over the years. Ironically, Houston acted as a safe haven for Hurricane Katrina victims back in 2005 when New Orleans was flooded.</p>
<p>As Houston braces for the storm, they&#8217;re in the thoughts and prayers of everyone in the country, and Houston Texans defensive end J.J. Watt took to his Twitter account to wish the city the best.</p>
<div class="embed-twitter">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">Stay safe Houston.<br />We&#39;re thinking about you.</p>
<p>&mdash; JJ Watt (@JJWatt) <a href="https://twitter.com/JJWatt/status/901054343293612032">August 25, 2017</a></p></blockquote>
<p><script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
<p>The Texans are in New Orleans this weekend for their preseason game against the Saints on Saturday. They&#8217;ll have to wait and see if their stadium will be in condition to host the Dallas Cowboys next Thursday, once Harvey has passed.</p>
