Severe Storm Season Approaching...

12:02 AM Mon, Mar 06, 2006 |

It's getting to be that time of the year again. As warmer temperatures begin their cyclical return to the region, the threat for severe storms also returns. As a way to prepare for this upcoming severe weather season, both Indiana & Kentucky will be conducting practice drills this week...

Both Indiana and Kentucky will run statewide tornado drills this week. The week of March 5th-12th is "Severe Weather Preparedness Week" for Indiana and March has been designated "Severe Storm Preparedness Month" in Kentucky. On March 7 at 10:07 a.m. EST, Kentucky Division of Emergency Management, in conjunction with The National Weather Service, will originate an EAS message encouraging all Kentuckians to be aware of and to prepare for severe storms. Government agengies, businesses, schools, and residents throughout Kentucky are invited to participate in this drill. Take a moment to consider what you would do if a tornado threatened your area. It is imperative to have a plan in place BEFORE the warning is issued!

In addition to the drills, mother nature may give us a little practice of her own. Spring-like thunderstorms will be possible by later this week. Stay tuned...

Tracy, I totaly disagree!! If it was you or your family that those guys saved, you would feel different. Maybe it wasn't that bad those nights, but it could have been, and sometime it WILL be. What's more important, shows that teach little kids stuff they don't need to know, or someones life? To add to that, they generally replay the show at a different time. So, if you have to see it, you will get to.

Are you kidding! Interupting one of the most popular shows on television to spend an hour showing different angles of a storm?! No tornado watch, nothing helpful just an hour of you guys repeating yourself! This is the second time in 3 days you've spent an hour reporting on nothing!
