They wrote the following statement to Facebook around 2 pm this afternoon:
“With talks of another round of severe weather headed our way area churches are opening their doors for public shelter.
Other locations are being talked about as possible shelters.
If you have confirmed information of a shelter location for this storm please share in the comments.
When large scale storms hit the area the dispatch center quickly becomes very busy and pushed beyond its capabilities.
If you need to report something minor like a tree in a roadway within the first couple hours of the storm hitting feel free to put that in the comments of this post.
Fire, EMS and Law Enforcement are standing by to respond to emergency calls and try to bring life back to as normal as quickly possible.”
