The annual statewide tornado drill will be conducted on Thursday between 1:45-2:00 PM. Tornado sirens will be activated as part of this drill. There's no need to be alarmed.
Remember: sirens are intended to alert people who are OUTSIDE. Every home should have an "all hazards" weather radio that's activated by the National Weather Service. These are especially helpful if severe weather moves in while you're sleeping. Look for weather radios with "SAME" technology, which offers the option to receive reports just for the counties you choose. More information at http://www.nws.noaa.gov/nwr/
