A huge thank you to @ApolloMedFlight for bringing in their air medical crew and training our CERT volunteers in landing zone operations. It was a great opportunity to learn about the capabilities and benefits of such a fantastic resource in our community.

On this day in 1980, the City of Grand Island was scene to one of the most historic and destructive weather events ever recorded. One terrible night, seven destructive tornadoes, and a community that rose to the challenge by helping, serving, and rescuing one another.

Today we had visitors from AOK (Acts of Kindness) come with a large gift of donuts. We took the opportunity to show our AOK friends a tour of the 911 center and an explanation of the various tools and systems we use.

Thank you, AOK, for all you do in our community.

Lo que está en el suelo termina en el agua. Manejar el agua de lluvia en su propiedad ayuda a reducir la escorrentía y proteger las vías fluviales.

Dirija las bajantes a áreas con vegetación. Use barriles de lluvia. Mantenga el agua donde cae para que se absorba en el suelo.

What’s on the ground is in our water. Managing stormwater on your property helps reduce runoff and protect waterways.

Direct downspouts to landscaped areas. Use rain barrels. Keep water where it falls so it can soak into the soil.

Protect water and reduce water use.

Unsettled weather pattern keeps chances for showers and thunderstorms in the forecast the rest of this week on into the start of next week. For today, more scattered to widespread chances will spread north with time. Severe weather is not expected through tonight. #newx #kswx

GIPD Encourages everyone to put on their seatbelt when they get in a vehicle. Officers are still working special enforcement as part of the National Click It or Ticket enforcement effort.

[NWS Hastings @NWSHastings]

For most of the area, the daytime hours today look to be dry. A few showers/storms may work into southern areas later today into tonight. Severe weather is not expected at this time. An unsettled upper level pattern will keep precip chances around through the weekend. #newx #kswx
