City of Killeen updates community on Thursday’s severe weather

I think it is definitely safe to say that the Killeen, Texas area was a little shaken up by Thursday's thunderstorms and tornado watches. The outdoor warning sirens went off to alert people who are outside to seek shelter inside because the weather is about to probably become somewhat unbearable and dangerous. Thankfully it wasn't too bad in our area, but it was still enough to ratttle us.

THURSDAY WAS A MESS

The storm left a lot of homes and property a little shaken up and damaged.

The national weather service issued a tornado warning that included the City of Killeen primarily the north side of town yesterday. It is just a reminder that the outside sirens are designated to alert citizens were outside, so if you find yourself not exactly sure what is going on or what you need to do just keep that in mind.
