Previous Update

Good afternoon gang. The storms out there this afternoon are producing flash flooding in several areas. This is something we have been talking about for a few days and I am perplexed as to why the NWS offices have not put out any Flash Flood Watches as we have more heavy rain producing storms through Tomorrow.

Flash Flood Warnings are out for several counties right now… including Larue, Hardin, Madison and Jackson Counties. Check out some of the reports we have been getting…
