Perkins was not the only individual caught in backlash for their comments about the natural disaster. Dr. Christina Propst, a Houston-based pediatrician, was fired from her job at Blue Fish Pediatrics for allegedly sharing a now-deleted Facebook post that the victims of the floods who backed Trump "got what they voted for."

The Houston Astros are donating $1 million to support the recovery from the flooding that has devastated the Texas Hill Country, the team announced Monday.

The catastrophic flooding in Central Texas has left at least 82 people dead, including three Houston-area residents.
