Here it is, the last full week of April. Only six days until May 1. Did you do something good for our planet Monday? It was Earth Day. I saw a very fitting t-shirt for the day: “Leave behind only your footprints, not trash!” Such a simple little request, yet so many fail to respond accordingly. I also saw on TV that our national parks have signs everywhere, especially on hiking trails, pertaining to trash. If you take something in with you, make sure it leaves with you. 04/23/2024 11:00 PM

Two Tornadoes Struck Greenwood County Last Wednesday Morning

Two Tornadoes Struck Greenwood County Last Wednesday Morning

Greenwood County residents received an early morning wake-up call last Tuesday, April 16, as severe weather impacted the area. Alerts to take shelter were sent through Greenwood County Alerts, Weather Radios and other app notification systems around 4:15 a.m., notifying residents in the Eureka area to seek shelter as they were in a tornado watch. According to the National Weather Service, two tornado tracks were found across Greenwood County from storms last week. The strongest tornado was an EF-2 that occurred south of Virgil around 7:30 a.m., which went unreported until Greenwood County Road and Bridge checked the area later in the morning. Warning systems did not go out as radar didn’t show that severe weather was occurring. However, after the damage was found, three witnesses stated they saw the tornado come through. The EF-2 traveled 2.7 miles and had a max width of 116 yards. The storm began at 7:34 and ended at 7:42 a.m. 04/23/2024 11:00 PM
