This is the time of the year for storms and tornados. One should be alert to warnings and watches as posted on TV and radio. The local Fire Department does send out “spotters” during storms and the fire whistle may be blown to warn people. However, there is always time to take precautions after you hear the whistle so please be aware of weather conditions as they intensify.
NoblesCounty Law Enforcement will blow the Tornado Siren on our local water tower ANYTIME there is a warning in the COUNTY.
If you have outside electric problems at your property, please call City Hall. DO NOT call Federated Rural Electric.
