HEADS UP: A line of strong storms will develop tonight and could produce a few tornadoes. While we don't expect the tornadoes to be widespread (maybe one or two total within the area highlighted), any tornadoes that do happen may develop very quickly with just a few minutes to warn for them.
MOBILE HOME RESIDENTS: If you do not have a designated shelter in your community, please consider spending the evening somewhere where shelter is readily available. Storms tonight may be dangerous for mobile home residents.
A tornado could develop with just 5 to 10 minutes advance notice, in which case you may not have enough time to leave your home and get to a sturdy shelter.
The annual Show & Tell Gathering at the Bates County Museum has become a tradition and it will again be presented on Saturday, March 11, 2017 at 10:30 am in Robertson Hall at the Museum. The Show & Tell Gathering provides an opportunity for folks to bring beloved or curious objects from home to share with others. Sometimes, there are interesting stories to accompany the objects but other times, the objects themselves are a mystery and the audience is invited to help determine what they might be. It’s always a fascinating meeting and has become one of the most fun gatherings of the entire year.
The Bates County Historical Society & Museum will hold a brief annual meeting to review the past year and the 2017 schedule.
