This week is Severe Weather Awareness Week and it will include a Statewide Tornado Drill at 10am Wed the 26th. Sirens will be tested at this time. It's only a test but you are encouraged to use this time to practice your plan for taking shelter.
Here's a breakdown of tornado drill instructions:
1. Stay Informed:
Listen to local news or NOAA Weather Radio: Stay updated on tornado watches and warnings.
Follow official social media accounts: Ready.gov and local authorities for emergency information.
2. Find a Safe Location:
Go to the lowest level. Seek a small interior room: Bathrooms, closets, or interior hallways are good choices.
Stay away from windows, doors, and outside walls: These are the most vulnerable areas.
3. Protect Yourself:
Crouch low to the floor: Get as low as possible and face down.
Cover your head with your hands: Protect yourself from flying debris.
Use thick padding: If possible, cover yourself with a mattress, blankets, or pillows.
Consider a helmet: A helmet can offer some protection against head injury.

Whatcha cooking Wednesday?!
It's felt like soup weather and this hearty, comfort soup just felt like it was going to hit the spot! Remember, leftovers freeze well to be had for a night you don't really feel like cooking again!

With melt-in-your-mouth chunks of beef, vegetables and potato in a thickened, herb infused savoury broth, this Vegetable Beef Soup is a cut above the usual!
