 It looks like our general area will be impacted by the remnants of hurricane Ida. It is often easy to discount the weather forecasts but just what if the forecasts are accurate or even worse weather ends up occurring! The saying “Turn around don’t drown.” is not just cliche, it really means what it says. There is seldom any good reason to place yourself and/or family in harms way. Additionally there is no reason to ad to the workload of first-responders by instigating a rescue, needlessly placing them in harms way, by negligence in disregarding warnings. Take a little time to review the graphics issued by NOAA, they carry a very valid message! Also be sure your cellphone is setup to receive severe weather advisories. This function receives advisories for the location wherever you are as long as the GPS location is active.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency along with the Federal Communications Commission will transmit test messages August 11, 2021 Between 14:20 – 14:50 EDT. The test messages will be sent via television and radio stations, as well as cellular systems. You will only receive the test message via cellular if the phone is set to receive this form of message. For the latest information and several other links, check the web-site: https://www.fema.gov/event/ipaws-national-test
Severe weather is a priority topic in weather reports. Our general area does not typically experience the full impact of a hurricane but we do experience the direct effects of tornadoes. Please take a look at the graphics and the important messages that are illustrated. Check the links associated with the graphics for more in depth information (click on the graphic).
During Severe Weather Awareness Week, April 19 – 23, information to help with awareness and preparedness will be presented by the State College NWS office with different weather hazards highlighted daily. For expanded information and details be sure to check : https://www.weather.gov/ctp/SevereWeatherAwarenessWeek
