Former President George W. Bush visited a football practice at Southern Methodist University (SMU) Tuesday to offer support to players from the Houston area as Tropical Storm Harvey continued to ravage the state.

The native Texan, wearing a SMU hat, told the players that he and others were supporting the team as their region faces floods from the storm.

“I know there’s some people from Houston here and the Houston area and I know you’re going through a really tough time,” Bush said. “And just know that there will be a lot of people that are going to help you.”

“The country right now, they’re recovering and the key thing on the recovery is to keep people safe,” he continued. “Then it’s going to be rebuilding and if you’re from that area, you’ll be amazed at the people who come down there to help.”

“The days are dark now but they’re going to get better.”
