Flood Safety Awareness Week:
* Next week kicks off the National Weather Service's Flood Safety Awareness Week. Above are some common terms we talk about here in East Mississippi and West Alabama often when we see heavy rain events.
* Turn Around Don't Drown: Have you heard this weather phrase? Do you follow it? This weather safety phrase actually was coined by the National Weather Service in San Angelo, Texas several years ago. Meteorologist Hector Guerrero is the gentleman we can thank for this term that has spread across the country over the years. I've worked with Hector many times at my last job when I worked at the local CBS station in San Angelo.
