House rental site Airbnb is helping people who had to evacuate their homes in the face of Hurricane Harvey find temporary shelter. Harvey, currently a Category 2 storm, is expected to make landfall on the Texas coast Friday night or early Saturday, bringing potentially catastrophic flooding to the region. To help those affected by the storm, Airbnb is waiving all service fees for evacuees checking in between Aug.
