LANSING, Mich — Phones in our neighborhoods will be sounding off next Wednesday as part of Michigan’s Severe Weather Awareness Week.
Neighbors with active cell phones in Ingham County, Eaton County and Clinton County will receive the alert at 12:59 p.m. on March 19, just ahead of the 1 p.m. statewide tornado drill the same day.
The alert will clearly state it is only a test and will remind neighbors of the warning sirens that will immediately follow as part of the tornado drill.
Neighbors are encouraged to take this time to think of where they would shelter if a real tornado was coming.
