Bibb County joining statewide tornado drill

Posted: 12:00am on Feb 8, 2012; Modified: 6:56am on Feb 8, 2012

Bibb County’s tornado sirens are expected to wail after 9 a.m. Wednesday as the state observes a tornado drill as part of Severe Weather Awareness Week.

A tornado warning will be issued through NOAA weather radio sometime between 9 a.m. and 9:30 a.m., according to a news release from the National Weather Service.

There will not be a test tornado watch issued, nor will there be an all-clear sounded following the drill.

To be prepared for potentially turbulent weather this spring, residents should identify a safe room indoors to seek refuge.

If caught outside, seek shelter in an outbuilding, lie in a ditch or drive to safety, if possible.

In the event of bad weather Wednesday morning, the drill will be moved to Friday at the same time.
