The Cornerstone Credit Union League reported Thursday that 60 credit unions are still closed while 41 credit unions have reopened throughout flood-ravaged Houston and the counties throughout Southeastern Texas.

The league also reported nearly $400,000 has been raised to help flood victims of Tropical Storm Harvey, which dumped more than 51 inches of rain, claimed the lives of 38 people and caused billions of dollars in property damage losses.

Some of the 60 credit unions that were closed on Thursday are expected to reopen Friday or on Sept. 5, according to a listing on Cornerstone's website. Other credit unions are unable to open branches because of flooded roadways, power outages, sanitary water issues or staffing problems.
