On Wednesday 6/17 we have a potential for more severe weather, with that being said please be weather aware! Be prepared for large hail, damaging winds and potential of EF2 tornadoes or larger! Have your weather radios ready, as for the sirens they are controlled by Christian county and not your fire department! While you’re at it say a prayer for your local volunteers and linemen!
