Northeastern Calhoun County is under a Flood Advisory until 4:45 PM.
Remember, never attempt to drive through flooded roadways. Turn around, don't drown!
Kinder Morgan/Southern Natural Gas will conduct a planned natural gas flaring operation near AL Hwy 9 & Cottaquilla Rd in White Plains July 15-16. July 17 may be used if needed. Flaring will occur during daylight hours and is weather dependent.
Knowing what to do before temperatures rise can make all the difference. Stay informed with updates from @NWSBirmingham, Calhoun County EMA, and trusted media sources. Recognize the signs of heat-related illness, and check on those who may be most vulnerable during extreme heat.
Calhoun County is under a Slight Risk (Level 2/5) of severe weather this evening into tonight. Threats include damaging winds, flooding, and isolated, brief tornadoes.

Calhoun County's risk of flooding continues today and extends through tomorrow. Water over the road? Don't take the chance. Turn around, don't drown! Floodwaters are often deeper than they appear and can quickly become dangerous. Never drive around barricades!
Calhoun County is under a level 1/5 risk of severe weather tomorrow, Thursday 6/18. Threats include widespread heavy rain, damaging wind gusts & isolated, brief tornadoes. A flood watch is also in effect from 7 AM tomorrow morning through 7 PM Friday night.
Last week, CCEMA attended the Alabama Disaster Preparedness Conference, connecting with partners from across the state and learning new ways to strengthen preparedness efforts.
A special thank you to Shannon Jenkins of @UnitedWayECA for joining our VOAD panel discussion!
