Apple CEO Tim Cook tweeted about the donations early Sunday morning. Rescue workers are continue to help residents trapped by catastrophic flooding caused by Harvey, which made landfall late Friday night as a Category 4 hurricane. The storm has since been downgraded to a tropical storm, but is expected to remain in the region over the next few days.
