【Desi Tadka (2020) Hindi Web Series】
Throughout the storms and Desi Tadka (2020) Hindi Web Seriesflooding caused by Harvey, many Houston residents turned to one voice for answers: Jeff Linder.

"His press conferences have been an invaluable, reassuring resource in what has literally been a natural disaster. Additionally, and I'm sure beyond the scope of his responsibilities, he has been constantly answering questions from worried citizens on Twitter," campaign founder Blake Ford wrote on GoFundMe.
"He just looks like he knows his stuff; and gives off a frankly fantastic vibe. He had an answer ready for every question, every followup, and never once dodged a difficult question nor was he afraid to honestly inform the public of imminent trouble."
"I do not know Jeff, but he seems like a swell fellow. I figure the least we can do is show our thanks and gratitude by getting Jeff a vacation once this is all over (after hurricane season of course.)," the GoFundMe says.

As a meteorologist for Harris County, where most of Houston sits, Linder is a government employee. That means he can't accept gifts worth over $100.
The meteorologist instead asked that the funds be donated to flood victims.
“I just feel like I was doing my job,” Linder told the Wall Street Journal. “I’m going to keep doing it.”
