On June 12, 2023, at approximately 12:00 p.m. CST, widespread property damage was reported in Northern Gray County by a sudden thunderstorm that produced golf ball sized hail and larger, affecting the City of Pampa and Northern Gray County.
I have determined that this event is of such severity and magnitude that a Disaster Declaration be declared for Gray County, Texas. Pursuant to §418 of the Texas Government Code, I am requesting that you issue appropriate directives to respond to this widespread event which resulted in personal and public property damage; including any public assistance requested for the Citizens of Northern Gray County and Pampa, Texas as well as debris removal and other needs.
Furthermore, I am requesting that successive proclamations be issued and remain in effect until the damage has been evaluated and mitigated.
Regards,
Chris Porter
Gray County Judge
***This issue will be voted on this morning’s County Commissioners Meeting at the Gray County Court House at 205 N. Russell.
