ECTOR COUNTY, Texas This is the first time that a disaster of this magnitude has affected really and truly all 254 counties, Debi Hays, Ector County Judge said.
Help is on the way. It makes a huge difference because it opens the door to FEMA federal funds, Hays said.
Those federal dollars can go toward repairing winter storm damage.
Just about anyone qualifies, as long as you re living within the counties on FEMA s list.
On Friday that includes Ector and Howard counties.
