Afternoon Thoughts

* First, I'd like to send a big thank you to Gary Galloway and Ron Davis. Gary heads up the Newton County EMA, while Ron is the director of EMA for the city of Newton. We are working to get all of our EMA partners signed up on Yahoo Instant Messenger. This will allow us to instantly communicate! I will be visiting with Lauderdale, Kemper, and Neshoba counties tomorrow, and more counties in the days to come.

* Still expecting some severe weather this weekend. The latest trend is for the surface low to track further north, which would put more of our area at risk. I now think the worst of the weather will be along and south of a line from Forest to Philadelphia to Macon. Obviously, this includes almost all of our area. I'll have a full update on this situation tonight around 9:30.

* Again, let me take the chance to urge all pastors to purchase a NOAA Weather Radio for their church. No church is without a fire alarm, so it just doesn't make sense to have a church with no weather radio. Congregation members: ask your pastor about getting a NOAA Weather Radio! If he says no, ask him to e-mail, call, or come by WTOK and we'll chat!

Good quick update. Looking forward to watching the news tonight and seeing the latest blog update. Hope church pastors follow your advice to get a weather radio. I know it would be horrible if all kinds of people were at church and a tornado rolled through. Doesnt look will have a quiet easter this year.

We can pray for the best Matt. Can anyone email me the Frequencies for the EOC's in Clark, Newton, Neshoba and Kemper counties in Mississippi. And Sumter and Choctaw counties in Alabama. I will enter them in my scanner at WMOX.
