RUSSELL — Russell County Emergency Management Director David Elliott has announced the annual Storm Fury on the Plains presentation and storm spotter meeting will be at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, March 4 at the historic Dream Theater at 629 North Main Street in downtown Russell.
Meteorologists from the National Weather Service office in Wichita will present information that will help prepare storm spotters and weather enthusiasts for the upcoming storm season. NWS staff will provide an in-depth weather presentation that will engage the audience by teaching them about the different types of storms, the individual storm features that help a person to recognize the storm’s potential severity, how to report hazardous weather and severe weather safety.
“Kansas weather is extremely unpredictable, and this presentation will help everyone – those new to the area and those who have lived here their entire lives – learn more about what to do before, during and after a severe weather event,” said EM Director Elliott. “Please attend this presentation to become informed and help protect yourself and your loved ones from the worst weather Kansas has to offer.”
Admission is free. Concessions will be available for purchase. The presentation will last approximately two hours. All are welcome and encouraged to attend.
