This morning’s severe weather caused widespread flooding primarily on the West side of the county with much of the property damage on the Central and Eastern portions. There were many reports of property damage and about 180 power outages reported.
When threatening and dangerous Storm are approaching, the Elmore County EMA opens the Emergency Operations Center. During a storm event this is where calls for service that come directly to the EOC or that come through the Sheriffs department are in-part dispatched or monitored.
Post-storm damage reports and response is managed by this same staff comprised of County employees and volunteers.
Once the storm passed I was at the EOC getting a status report on damage and the response in District 4 and then visited many areas that saw flooding or property damage.
Storms Round 2 is approaching with significant wind, rain and possible tornados overnight. Please moniter weather reports and stay safe. Bart
