On Thursday, April  14th,there will be the normal statewide tornado drill from 1-2pm with a  mock
tornado watch issued at 1pm and a mock tornado warning issued at  1:45pm with it all ending at 2pm. 


This year, there will be an  additional statewide tornado drill in the evening starting at 6:55pm.  

This additional drill will give people a second chance to test out their  severe weather plans at a time

when severe weather is more likely to  occur. 


Should there be the potential for real severe weather at that  time, we will postpone the drill until the

following day. 


Please let us  know if you have any questions.
