Music Makes It Better: The Essential Hurricane Harvey Playlist

Hurricanes are a time to prepare. You never know what will happen when the storm starts raging. But what you can control is being around good people and waiting out the worst of the weather.

B.J. Thomas—“Raindrops Keep Fallin’ On My Head”
