On March 21, 2022, several severe storms erupted late evening across central and north-central Texas. A tornado watched was in effect until 2:00 a.m. Non-stop lightening, heavy rain, hail, and high winds ran through part of Texas causing widespread power outages, flooding, roof damage, and downed trees. Following the storms, and through our Master Service Agreement with the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT), CDR Emergency Management was activated to provide monitoring services for debris removal operations in several counties impacted by the severe weather event.
