HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) As the fallout from the winter storm drags on, the search for basic supplies becomes more difficult.
On Wednesday night, the line at a free water distribution site in Galveston wrapped around city blocks. With much of the island without water or under a boil water advisory due to power issues at city facilities, people are in need of water.
Donated by state Rep. Mayes Middleton, four bottles per person was the allotment. Some people were angry because they needed more, but most were grateful. It s, unfortunately, a lot [of people] without water. We re doing what we can, said Cesar Garcia, the parks director for the city of Galveston as he handed out water.
