Hey Brighton Fam,

Please be aware that Hurricane Francine is moving north and causing heavy wind in our area. Remember to know where to go to take shelter if a tornado warning is issued. Stay aware of the weather throughout the day. Give yourself enough time to get to your destination so you will not have to speed. Check the weather before you leave and plan alternate routes in case of flooding. Please try not to drive through standing water.

Do you know the different between a Flood Watch and a Flood Warning? A Flood WATCH means Be Prepared. A Flood WARNING means Take Action!
