severe weather

As Winter Storm Elliott unleashes bone-chilling temperatures and blizzard-like conditions all across the country, there is the risk that some Hoosiers may find themselves without adequate warmth to protect them from the chill.

The tri-state is under a marginal-to-slight risk for severe weather Tuesday evening. It's a much worse situation in the deep south, however.

According to the National Weather Service Storm Prediction Center, "Damaging winds, some of which could be significant, several tornadoes (some strong), and large to very large hail will likely occur."

The threat will bring our recent run of beautiful, Spring-like days to a temporary end.

Donations will be used by shelters to care for lost pets and those displaced from their families due to the storm.

The drive will take place on the corner of 10th and Franklin Streets.

Donations can be made either by phone or online.

Donations of toys, books, electronics, and gift cards will be accepted.

Damaging winds, hail, and heavy rain are the main threats along with a slight risk for an isolated tornado.

A FLOOD WATCH out for MOST OF THE TRI-STATE.
