🌩️ Severe Weather Expected 🌩️
The forecast is calling for the possibility of severe weather in the Champaign area.
Here are some things to keep in mind:
✅ Bring in or secure outdoor furniture, decorations, and other loose items.
✅ Charge cell phones and electronic devices in case of power outages.
✅ Keep flashlights, batteries, water, and essential medications easily accessible.
