According to the Daviess County Emergency Management Agency, some churches will open their basements for shelter for today’s tornado threat event only.
Those include:
- Yellow Creek Baptist Church across from Yellow Creek Park, 5741 KY Highway 144 (when sirens activate)
- Heritage Baptist Church, 3585 Thruston-Dermont Road, (6 – 10 p.m.)
- St. Stephen Cathedral basement south entrance, 610 Locust Street (7 – 10 p.m.)
No food will be served. People need to bring a water bottle with them. This is strictly for shelter from the storm and will close immediately following the storm threat.
If any other tornado-safe facility wants to open their doors today, contact Daviess County EMA at 270-685-8448. Updates will be posted as received on the Daviess County Emergency Management Facebook page.
DCEMA also posted guidance on sheltering in various locations such as homes or businesses. That information can be found here.
