“Since December, our region has been impacted by multiple tornadoes and other severe weather,” said Col. Chris Midberry, U.S. Army Fort Campbell Garrison Commander. “We continue to embrace our Soldiers, Families, workforce, and community. We ask that everyone avoid unnecessary travel while damage assessments take place and to report any injuries or damages.”
Rain and ongoing weather conditions have also caused floodwaters in the area. Use caution and avoid floodwater. As little as 12 inches of moving floodwater can be enough to float and carry away a small vehicle. 6 inches of moving water can knock an adult off their feet. Even a small amount of floodwater can hide dangers such as road collapse and debris.
