for seven counties that experienced significant damage last week. The declaration enables the state to provide assistance to people and communities with property damage. Neither Leon nor Robertson was included in the disaster declaration.
“It felt like we were right in the heart of the storm,” Jones said. “It was an overwhelming amount of work to do, and we got through it as fast and as efficiently as we could with the resources we had available to us.”When Smith woke up to no power on Wednesday morning, she was prepared. She grew up in this part of Texas — an unincorporated area about 30 miles north of Bryan-College Station — and knew that an incoming storm meant she should expect power outages.
“It’s very inconvenient and it’s costly,” Smith said. “We are young and we can survive, but I feel for the elderly and the parents of young children.” “This go-around was kind of our last straw,” Smith said. “When you have these frequent outages of this duration, you almost have to have an alternate power source.”
