GET PREPARED! (Severe Weather on Memorial Day Possible)

Without a doubt you need to be prepared for severe weather including tornadoes. This has been an active week across the Midwest and Plain states and there have been numerous fatalities. Yesterday (Sunday) has 7 or 8 known fatalities. You owe it to yourself and your family to be prepared. Simply put preparedness begins with a weather radio. Go get one and learn to use it.

A special note to those in charge of outside activities. You need to have a well defined plan in case of severe weather and don't hesitate to make smart decisions. Communicate that plan with everyone involved. A smart decision is to be prepared, follow the forecasts and pay extra attention on days with any risk for severe weather in Indiana. If you don't have a place of safety for everyone, then don't hesitate to cancel releasing people with a sense of urgency and ample time to seek safety on their own.

Today in Indiana: It looks like the huge outbreak yesterday to our west used a lot of energy which will keep our area a little quieter than first expected. One should still expect some severe weather possibilities with warm temperatures, high dew points, and a falling barometer. Expect a day full of updates.
