This annual weeklong event aims to provide the public with a better understanding of the severe weather Indiana is susceptible to and tips on preparing for thunderstorms.
The statewide tornado drill will take place on Tuesday, March 11, at 10:15 a.m. ET. Marshall County Dispatch will sound the sirens they control around Bourbon, Culver, and Plymouth.
Other communities are encouraged to participate in activating their sirens and tornado response plans. Schools, businesses, and even individual families should review severe weather procedures and pinpoint the safest spot at their location to seek shelter.
Indiana has seen active tornado seasons in the last few years, including 2024, when Marshall County ended its six-year tornado drought. A weak EF0 struck east of Tippecanoe on July 16. This tornado was part of a significant straight-line wind event that did considerable damage across all of Marshall County. Remember, even if a thunderstorm doesn’t produce a tornado, its wind, hail, and lightning can all cause destruction.
As we all know, Indiana weather conditions can change rapidly. Don’t get caught off guard and have a way to receive severe weather alerts. Marshall County residents can download the county app for instant warning when severe weather appears imminent. Don’t just rely on sirens.
Additional educational information will be posted on the Marshall County EMA Facebook page throughout the week.
