A short-lived severe thunderstorm warning activated the Raccoon Valley Radio Network’s Severe Weather Action Team Monday night.

The National Weather Service issued a severe thunderstorm warning, that included western Greene County, from 9:43 to 10:16pm. Our Severe Weather Action Team provided live, wall-to-wall coverage due to the potential of strong, straight-line winds in excess of 60 miles per hour. The Greene County Sheriff’s office reported a tree branch fell and was covering Percival Street in Rippey between Sparky’s One Stop gas station and the school house area. No other damage was reported at this time.

Six Raccoon Valley Radio staff members were in contact with WeatherEye meteorologists and local law enforcement during the storm.

Anytime severe weather threatens Greene, Guthrie and Dallas counties tune into Raccoon Valley Radio for our Severe Weather Action Team coverage until storms drop below severe levels or move out of our primary coverage area.
