One definite need is water for the City of Eustace and surrounding area. Eustace Mayor Elicia Sanders this morning called on residents to conserve water and to boil water before consumption.
Water can be donated at Eustace City Hall.
Pct. 2 Commissioner Wade McKinney said there were a lot of large trees and power lines down and work continues to remove those. (See interview recorded live below)

Damage around Eustace from the tornado was severe in some locations. I put together the Snapchat video at the top of this story as I traveled around the area. (@mvhannigan)
