Trees, limbs down around county after 27 Aug 2016 storm

(A note on the all important Mark Twain Marching Band Exhibition: Most people know about the band and know this - but those who didn't and are wondering about it. Band competitions are rarely cancelled because of weather. Those in attendance just take shelter until the storm passes over, then the competition continues. That's what the crowd at Indian Stadium did, taking shelter in Adair County High School. The program then picked up where it left off, Trilby Vance reminded us.)

Mike Keltner, Adair County Emergency Disaster Director, said in a telephone interview at 6:30pmCT, Saturday, August 27, 2016, that he is receiving information of trees and limbs down all over northern Adair County.

Among the areas hit hardest, he said, are Vester, Holmes Bend Road, and Hutchison-Loy Road. He said no flooding issues yet, but warned motorists be careful in the low lying areas which are prone to flooding.

Cows always have plenty of company - three herds are milked here. Most in the agri-business already know, the computerized milking records show which herd the milk comes from and how much - making payday credits an exact science, regardless of milking sequence.
