From the City of Kilgore
KILGORE, Texas (News Release) - We know many in our city are without adequate water pressure and the boil water notice remains in effect. The City of Kilgore in partnership with Brookshire’s was able to secure a tractor-trailer shipment of bottled water to distribute to anyone who relies on the City of Kilgore water system. We will begin distributing cases of water at 10:00 am behind Brookshire’s located at 747 U.S Highway 259 Business. We’re hoping by 10:00 am, and as the day goes on, the remaining ice on the road will continue to melt, and traveling on the roads will be easier.

TYLER, Texas (KTRE) - Shelves are becoming increasingly bare in stores across East Texas as people venture out to get hot meals and essentials. Some stores and volunteers have stepped up to help meet these needs.
A manager at the Brookshire’s Grocery store located at the intersection of Loop 323 and State Highway 64 told East Texas News that they got a perishable truck Saturday morning, so they have a limited amount of essentials like milk and eggs. However, there is a limit of two per person.
