The images have been gut-wrenching. But now we are seeing firsthand accounts of the destruction from some of our favorite country artists, and it is even more devastating than we thought.\r\n\r\nTexas-based country star Wade Bowen visited the hard-hit coastal town of Rockport, Texas, but he didn\u2019t go empty-handed. The \u201cMood Ring\u201d singer deployed delivery trucks to Waco and New Braunfels, where donations and supplies were collected to be distributed to volunteers and first responders in the area. He also encouraged fans to attend his show in Corpus Christi by dropping the admission price and accepting donations to the Corpus food bank.\r\n\r\nhttps:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BYgYwo1nQzE\/?taken-by=wadebowen\r\n\r\nhttps:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BYg-lcznnki\/?taken-by=wadebowen\r\n\r\nhttps:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BYixLLNnQi9\/?taken-by=wadebowen\r\n\r\nRELATED:\u00a0Country stars step up to help those affected by Hurricane Harvey\r\n\r\nWhen they finally made it into Rockport to deliver supplies, they captured a bit of video, and it is worse than you could imagine.\r\n\r\nhttps:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BYjyfC6n6zn\/?taken-by=wadebowen\r\n\r\nTexas native, but now Los Angeles resident and rising country artist Coffey Anderson made the trip to his homeland with a cargo van full of supplies and donations, and even slipped on some work gloves to lend a hand at cleanup.\r\n\r\nhttps:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BYlqSqTgTV_\/?taken-by=coffeyanderson\r\n\r\nHe and pal Carly Nunn also held a free benefit concert in the Houston suburb of Sugar Land to collect even more donations.\r\n\r\nhttps:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BYpDBRCgXj4\/?taken-by=coffeyanderson\r\n\r\nRelief efforts are ongoing as it is being estimated that it will take many, many months to clean up and begin the rebuilding process. As you can see from the images in Wade\u2019s video, in Rockport, Port Aransas and elsewhere along the Texas Gulf Coast, communities suffered complete devastation.\r\n\r\nRELATED:\u00a0Miranda Lambert\u2019s big heart helps provide a safe haven for four-legged victims of Hurricane Harvey\r\n\r\nChris Young\u2019s GoFundMe campaign is still open and nearing $400,000 of its $500,000 goal, and Houston Texans' J.J. Watt just exceeded his $20-million goal for flood relief. In addition, Miranda Lambert announced that her MuttNation Foundation rescued and relocated 120 pets from affected animal shelters to make room for other pets displaced during the flood.\r\n\r\nhttps:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BYqb7bdAHy0\/?taken-by=muttnationfoundation\r\n\r\nYou can help by contributing to either of these causes, or Google \u201cHurricane Harvey Relief\u201d for lists of organizations with specific needs.\r\n\r\nAnd this fall and winter, as businesses become operational again in the Lone Star state, consider a Texas vacation and help give their economy a nudge.","articleSection":"News"}</script>

		<p>We’ve all seen the news coverage of Hurricane Harvey that ripped through southeast Texas in late August. The images have been gut-wrenching. But now we are seeing firsthand accounts of the destruction from some of our favorite country artists, and it is even more devastating than we thought.</p>
<p>Texas-based country star Wade Bowen visited the hard-hit coastal town of Rockport, Texas, but he didn’t go empty-handed. The “Mood Ring” singer deployed delivery trucks to Waco and New Braunfels, where donations and supplies were collected to be distributed to volunteers and first responders in the area. He also encouraged fans to attend his show in Corpus Christi by dropping the admission price and accepting donations to the Corpus food bank.</p>
