On Wednesday, June 17th, a series of severe weather ripped across the local area causing power outages, damage, and even a confirmed tornado touchdown. 

Two full rounds of severe weather powered its way across the midwest, causing damage to the local area and power outages as well. It is urgent that the surrounding communities allow for the cleanup and damage assessments to be completed before going out to look at damages.

Safety officials also urge residents to stay as far away from any downed power lines as possible. When it comes to flooding, turn around, don't drown. It takes very little for a car to be swept away in standing water. 

The Christian County EMA is currently surveying the area for damages and the National Weather Service will have a full report of confirmed tornadoes in our local area in the next few days.
