Severe Weather Hits Regional Radio Listening Area Sunday Evening; Tornado and Wind Damage Reported

The Regional Radio listening area was hit with severe weather, including a confirmed tornado early Sunday evening, with numerous reports of damage.

 

In Christian County, Emergency Management Agency Director Jeff Stoner told Regional Radio during our severe weather coverage about damage in that county, when we visited with him live at 7:19 Sunday night.

 

 

Stoner chased the storm that contained the confirmed tornado that was aloft, from central Christian County, thru the Willeys area, and into the eastern part of the county.    He told listeners to report any damage to their local fire department for relay to his office.

 

The National Weather Service received reports of a confirmed tornado Sunday night at 6:10 near Glenarm, 6:13 near Pawnee, one and three-quarter inch hail near Edgewood in Effingham County at 7:26, and one-and-a-quarter inch hail in the Taylorville area just past 7 o’clock.

 

The line of severe storms continued moving east southeast during the event triggering numerous severe thunderstorm warnings for all of the Regional Radio listening area, during our severe weather coverage Sunday night.

 

So far, no injuries have been reported.
