All thunderstorms have lightning and this hazard can be deceptively deadly. Over and over again, people survive tornadic weather by knowing weather safety rules and taking appropriate and timely actions. A state-wide tornado drill will be conducted on this day. Schools and state, county, and other interested agencies are encouraged to participate and help everyone learn life saving rules. Friday will be the alternate drill day if adverse weather is expected on Wednesday.
