Disaster relief teams are working to recover from a tornado that swept through southeast Houston.

DEER PARK, Texas. On Friday, teams from one of the largest disaster relief teams in Texas were on the ground in Deer Park after a tornado tore through the community on Tuesday.

As utility crews lined up along Hillshire Drive in Deer Park to restore power to the area, trained volunteers extended a helping hand to tornado victims by cutting tree limbs and moving debris.

A group of volunteers from the Kingsland Baptist Church in Katy was organized by TBM Disaster Relief.

“Homeowners are really surprised that there are no conditions. No financial terms, no religious terms,” said Ferrell Foster of TBM Disaster Relief.

The group’s chainsaw crew worked three jobs on Hillshire Drive on Friday. Resident Scott Wilkerson’s home was one of them. The roof of his property was damaged and trees were downed.

“I had quotas, five, six thousand dollars, to take care of what they do for free. I tried to pay them, but they don’t pay, they won’t take it. Wilkerson said. “It’s refreshing, man. It really is.”

State officials urged anyone affected by the storm to file an insurance claim as soon as possible. Texas Insurance Department staff will be at the Pasadena Convention Center over the weekend to help people with insurance and insurance claims questions.
