As the remnants of Hurricane Beryl make their way up through the U.S., Louisville residents are being warned to prepare for possible severe weather on Tuesday. While Beryl is expected to weaken by the time it reaches the Louisville area, showers and storms are forecasted to roll in, bringing with them the potential for tornadoes and damaging wind gusts.
Louisville Metro Emergency Management Services is urging residents to have a plan in place to stay safe during severe weather events. Executive director Jody Meiman emphasized the importance of being prepared and taking necessary precautions, especially in light of the recent tornado activity in the area.
One key takeaway from recent storms is the importance of having multiple ways to receive weather alerts. Residents are encouraged to sign up for the city’s automated alerts, download the WDRB weather app, and have a NOAA weather radio on hand to stay informed and make informed decisions during severe weather.
Meteorologist Hannah Strong stressed the importance of heeding weather warnings and taking appropriate action to stay safe. Whether at home, at work, or on the road, it’s crucial to seek shelter in sturdy structures and avoid taking unnecessary risks during severe weather.
As the Louisville area braces for the potential impacts of Hurricane Beryl’s remnants, residents are reminded to check their emergency supplies, review their shelter plans, and stay informed through reliable weather sources. By being proactive and prepared, residents can help ensure the safety and well-being of themselves and their families during severe weather events.
