This podcast is a visit with Brazos County judge Duane Peters, visiting with WTAW's Bill Oliver on April 14, 2021.

Brazos County judge Duane Peters on Wednesday issued a disaster declaration from last week's hailstorm.

Peters says that allows the county to access $9 million dollars in local emergency money that is set aside to cover costs of repairing and replacing county property.

Peters says tarps are being installed the roofs of some county buildings in advance of storms that are predicted the rest of the week.

That's after a small amount of rain on Tuesday night resulted in some water entering some county buildings.
