Those in the LBM industry certainly aren’t without damage as well. The Houston Chronicle reports that power was out at Bison Building Materials near Hammerly, Texas. “It was impactful,” general manager Tom Tolleson told the Chronicle. “This is the largest millwork shop, certainly in Texas, maybe in the country in terms of production.” Lightning knocked out power at Bison Building Materials‘ large millwork facility along Interstate 10 near Hammerly. Electricity wasn’t restored until late Thursday morning. In the wake of the flooding, builders and remodelers alike took to social media to share expertise on flood recovery methods.
