706 on your clock now. Some major signs of progress in McKaysville
after historic flooding that left one person in that area dead.
The city's police chief says crews should finish clearing debris,
collecting trash by tomorrow afternoon.
Chief Michael Early says residents and business owners should
place any remaining flood damage materials along the roadside
so crews can collect them. Also, according to the chief,
the boil water advisory does remain in effect,
but he says they're hopeful officials can lift the order this week and.
restore safe drinking water to all customers.
So we're still actively cleaning up some of the
businesses and the homes in the community here.
We've got our roadways back open. We're just
trying to go to home to home,
to business to business and see what these people need.
As you see behind you, we're slowly trying
to get stuff out of people's businesses
and other homes and just try to clean up.
Slowly but surely.
And officials there also presented
with more than $2,200 to be used for flood recovery.
That money collected by the L.A.J. Jeepers,
who held a second benefit ride this weekend.
About 50 Jeeps and other vehicles taking part,
delivering vehicles full of supplies,
including everything from pet food to Bibles.
William Wright, the Fannin County Emergency
Management Agency's Donation Coordinator,
says donations have come in not just from around the state,
but from across the country.
We're in great shape
and we thank the good Lord above for looking out for us in this manner.
And we're so blessed beyond measure to have this stuff,
to be able to help those people
who lost everything in this terrific flood that we had.
Anyone who'd like to help out, ask to meet today
in about two hours time, 9 a.m. at McKaysville City Hall.
