The week of March 14 – March 20 is Severe Weather Preparedness Week.
Once again, it is a good time to talk with your family about what to do in the event of severe weather. A Tornado Watch means conditions are possible. It does not mean that they will occur. A Tornado Warning is issued when a tornado is imminent. When a tornado warning is issued, seek safe shelter immediately.
