Hurricane-force winds caused widespread damage in DFW and cities like Garland are still recovering.
Garland was one of the hardest-hit cities and now, the mayor is in the process of issuing a disaster proclamation to help residents get the resources they need. The disaster declaration will make it easier for the city and residents to apply for financial relief.“It is one of the many steps in recovery from an incident like this,” said City of Garland Mayor Scott LeMay. “Obviously, there are damage thresholds that have to be met along the way.
There are some streets that still have huge piles of tree debris, as crews make their way through pickups. LeMay said so far, the city crews have removed 1,900 tons of tree debris, which is three times higher than their normal intake. The mayor says city crews have been making their way through the neighborhoods and will soon bring in contract crews to help expedite the removal process.
