Tropical Storms Marco And Laura (FEMA EM-3540, hurricane) was declared on August 24, 2020, and FEMA lists Dallas County among the designated areas. The record gives incident dates of August 23, 2020 to August 27, 2020. Wind, surge, and long power loss can close a commercial kitchen for days, and a facility could keep the cooking line, range, and ovens running and serve meals onsite from a mobile commercial kitchen trailer rental while repairs run. Add a dishwashing trailer rental for the dish room, and a refrigerated trailer rental if the walk-in fails. Facilities near Crandall face the same weather.
