Heads up, everybody. The National Weather Service has us under an Enhanced Risk (level 3 of 5) for severe storms today AND again Thursday.

We're looking at multiple rounds of storms with damaging winds up to 70-80 mph, hail 2"+ in size, possible tornadoes (a few could be strong), and heavy rain that may bring flash flooding.

The worst of it looks to be this afternoon into tonight, roughly 4 to 11 PM, with more rounds possible Thursday morning and afternoon.

Stay weather aware and check on your neighbors. We'll keep watching on our end.

Thank you to all who showed up to give our Chief the send off he deserved. Many of you showed up in uniform and stood in the heat to honor Brent. The love that poured out from the community is something none of us will ever forget.

Many of you didn't leave your name and that's ok. Just know that your kindness, presence, and generosity were felt deeply... not only by the Collins family, but by every single member of the Seaton Fire family. There are truly no words.

It is with heavy hearts that we share the loss of our Fire Chief, Brent Collins, who was killed in a car accident last night.

If you lived around here, chances are you knew Brent, or he'd helped you out at some point. He was a veteran who never stopped serving, whether it was answering a call in the middle of the night or just lending a hand to a neighbor who needed one. That was Brent, always showing up. When he wasn't looking out for the rest of us, you'd find him out deer hunting or fishing, doing what he loved most.

Brent leaves behind a family who loved him dearly, and a whole community that did too. We ask that you keep them in your thoughts and prayers during this incredibly difficult time. Please give them the time and space they need to grieve, and respect their privacy as they do.

Service details will be shared once they are available.

Chief, thank you for your service to our country and our community. You will be deeply missed.
