Due to the potential for severe weather this afternoon, the following tornado/severe storm refuge areas will be open to the public from 12:00 P.M. to 3:00 P.M. (could be extended with extended threat):
-
Legacy Owensboro Church (old Malco Theater): 5333 Frederica St, Owensboro, KY
-
Owensboro Christian Church, Entrance “A”: 2818 New Hartford Rd, Owensboro, KY
-
Heritage Baptist Church: 3585 Thruston Dermont Rd, Owensboro, KY
More refuge sites may be added throughout the day, so keep checking for updates on our Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/DCEMA1
Though these “refuge” areas are not a 100% guarantee of safety, they offer better protection than mobile/manufactured homes, vehicles, or being outdoors.
