SYLACAUGA, Ala. – A severe weather awareness event is set for Tuesday, April 7, offering Sylacauga residents an opportunity to prepare for the spring storm season.
Meteorologist Evan Chickvara of ABC 33/40 will host the event from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. at the Sylacauga Chamber of Commerce. Attendees can learn about severe weather safety and preparedness while receiving hands-on assistance with weather radios.
