FORT BEND COUNTY, Texas — In Beryl’s wake, Fort Bend County leaders provided an update Monday evening on storm damage and recovery efforts.
Drainage District Director Mark Vogler characterized Beryl as a significant rainfall event. While most of the county’s streams and creeks were already receding, according to Vogler, he said Barker Reservoir and the Brazos River near Richmond had still not peaked. “We’ve moved to recovery mode,” he said. “I want to remind you, that we have a lot of work to do, and we are diligently engaging in those activities.”
“We’ll be able to start hopefully start picking up and removing debris as early as this week, if not first part of next week, for sure,” he said.
