[4:25 PM] Folks, it is important to keep in mind that the potential for severe storms, including tornadoes, will persist *AFTER* dark. If you go to bed before storms arrive, be sure to have multiple ways to be awoken to move to your safe place. Now is the time to be prepared. pic.twitter.com/5ehxSucmmn

Tornadoes can be extremely dangerous. Safe places include storm shelters and basements — but if not available, an interior room without windows can also be protective. If you receive a tornado warning, take shelter immediately! weather.gov/safety/tornado pic.twitter.com/AoszRLurEK

We are aware of damage from last night/this morning's storms across the area. We are planning on sending out survey crews today to assess damage where we had potential tornadoes. If you have damage at your location, please let us know! Photos are especially helpful.
