Governors Robert Bentley, of Alabama, and Bill Haslam, of Tennessee, have proclaimed February 19th through the 24th as Severe Weather Awareness Week in Alabama and Tennessee.
Although severe weather is most common during the months of March, April, and May here in the Tennessee Valley, strong storms and tornadoes can occur at any time throughout the year.
So take time now to learn more about severe weather and develop a safety plan of action for you and your family when severe weather threatens, and watches or warnings are issued. This is also a good time to make sure you have fresh batteries in radios and flashlights, and that you have other necessary supplies on hand.
Be safe. Be prepared.
