Editor’s Note: Y’all crashed this site a few times yesterday with 50,399 page views. I’m working through various possible low/no-cost solutions to bring stability and quality during these high volume events. So, for now, we’re going to go light on the graphics and bells and whistles to help prevent another crash.
To help ease the “crash” problem (we’ll fix this issue in the future), I’ve pared this page down to essential info only.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is it safe for me to drive from “x” to “y”? — Keep in mind we’re only looking at two counties. If your travel takes you elsewhere, I’m not the person to be answering that question.

As we wrote this morning — We want to balance the goal of raising awareness/encouraging preparedness with the risk of over-hyping this event. The details of what will happen remain fuzzy. There is significant potential, but answers to questions about ETAs, local impacts, and types of storm modes (tornadoes, hail, high winds, flash flooding) do not exist. This is a situation where the storms which form Sunday will impact what will happen Monday. What we see Monday will impact what happens Tuesday.
