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...
