Wow, it is terrible outside.  Here’s a post to discuss road conditions, closings, etc.  CSD sent out this note a short time ago…

All after school activities, sports games and practices, tutorials, clubs, and PTA meetings are canceled today, Wednesday, January 30 due to the severe weather watch. City of Decatur’s Animal Crackers, Whiz Kids and Project REAL after school care is still operating as usual. Buses may be delayed, but plan to run as usual. If severe weather hits during dismissal, we will follow our safety plan and delay dismissing students.

Pictures and videos popping up on Twitter and other websites are getting metro Atlanta residents pretty worked up this evening about the line of storms coming our way this evening.

Decatur residents have a couple of ways of being notified of a tornado warning.  First, there are all the tornado sirens around the city.  (Apparently city of Atlanta residents are warned by running fire truck sirens?)

Secondly, you can sign up for Code Red Weather – if you haven’t done so already – which will call you if a Tornado Warning is posted for your area.  (Calls are made for “severe” weather events in your specific area and initiated by National Weather Service Bulletins)  You can sign up right now, HERE.

Everyone be safe out there.  I’m sure you all know the drill.
