J.J. Watt, the star Houston Texans defensive end, said Sunday that he is starting a fundraiser for Harvey victims and has raised $270,000 by early Monday. It's very tough so what I do want to do is start a fundraiser," Watt said in a video. The New York Daily News reported that the site that is hosting the fundraiser, YouCaring.com, crashed for a small amount of time on Sunday. The team was reportedly set to host the Dallas Cowboys on Thursday, but will instead play in Dallas. Judging from federal disaster declarations, the storm has so far affected about a quarter of the Texas population, or 6.8 million people in 18 counties.
