Public Information Statement
Statement as of 11:58 am CDT on July 9, 2009
... Public information statement...
Residents across portions of Franklin and Anderson counties were affected by severe weather during the afternoon of July 8th. Reports from local law enforcement and emergency management indicate nearly 300 power poles were knocked down with some residents not expected to get power back until late this weekend or early next week.
Afternoon temperatures today are expected to reach the middle 90s with friday's high temperatures reaching the upper 90s. The combination of heat and humidity will result in heat indicies near 105 during Friday afternoon. Residents currently without power are urged to make plans with friends... family... neighbors or other public facilities that have air conditioning during the next couple days. The anticipated hot temperatures and high humidities could lead to heat illnesses for individuals subjected to these conditions without air-conditioned areas.
