On December First, 2018, the City of Taylorville changed forever, when an EF-3 tornado hit the community.  

On Sunday, Taylorville mayor Bruce Barry hosted an event at the V-F-W to commemorate the first anniversary of the tornado, and honored the hundreds of people that have helped in recovery.  Over 250 attended, and WMKR Genuine Country 94-point-3 broadcast the event live.

Former Christian County Emergency Management Agency Director and former Taylorville Police Chief Mike Crews, told the gathering that the National Weather Service’s issuance of a tornado warning and tornado emergency, meant something big was going to happen.
