Waay 31's breken terry joins us live from the colbert county emergency management headquarters... she learned what they're doing to prepare.
Breken?
Well they've actually moved their mobile command unit to another part of the county so if they get hit here they can continue operations.
They've also doubled up on 911 dispatcher staff for tomorrow to handle more calls.
Colbert ema director michael david smith said crews started cleaning and checking the counties 26 storm shelters starting yesterday.
Water to the shelters had been cut off because of the winter storms a few weeks ago.
Smith said his biggest concern is that the tornado threat is really coming at night and he's worried people might not react.
It is a worry.
Mainly because it is nighttime.
It is an all day event.
People are going to be worn out by the time the nighttime comes they are going to be ready to go home and get in their own bed and that's when things can be the worst.
If you are out somewhere in the day time you can see the tornado coming in depending on the cell but at nighttime you can't see the tornado.
Smith said people need to start making plans now on how to get to their shelter quickly.
The storm shelters in the county will open up when there is a tornado watch or smith said they could just go on and open them in the morning.
We will update you once the shelters open.
