The City of Washington will conduct a rescheduled tornado drill on March 18th, 2026, at approximately 11:00AM as part of ongoing efforts to ensure the safety and preparedness of the community. While the NWS will not be rescheduling the drill that was previously cancelled the City of Washington Emergency Management Agency in collaboration with the City of Washington 9-1-1 Communications feels it is important to still perform a yearly citywide tornado drill. At the above time the city tornado sirens will sound along with a CodeRed message sent out for everyone that is registered.
May you have the hindsight to remember where you've been, the foresight to know where you're going, and the pure Irish insight to realize that an Uber is a whole lot cheaper than a lawyer.
May the road rise up to meet you, may the wind be always at your back, and may your rearview mirror stay blissfully free of flashing red and blue lights!
...And to anyone who ignores that and drives impaired anyway: May your luck run out, your arrest be swift, and your stay in the Municipal Jail be an eye opener into making better choices!
