Around 6:20 PM, Sunday evening, this photo was taken of a confirmed rotation near the Drew Memorial Hospital/UAM area.

This rotation specifically is the reason that tornado sirens were sounded. (more…)

Drew Central Schools will be closed today,  due to a power outage which is expected to last all day.

School will reopen tomorrow as normal.

Students should complete AMI Day 7 assignments or the next one in the packet if Day 7 has already been completed.

Of course,  countywide appreciation goes out to law enforcement and city/county road crews, who kept everything as “operable” as possible.

Contrary to rumors, there was no damage to the roof of Monticello Fire Station #2, near the UAM campus.
