Sirens are sounding across the area as a powerful storm brings large hail and rapidly changing conditions. The Kewanee Police and Fire Departments warn that sirens may continue throughout the evening, particularly if further hail or storm rotations develop. Residents are urged to remain alert, indoors, and away from windows, as storms can generate sudden, dangerous outbreaks. Keep an eye on updates from emergency services and local authorities, as conditions may shift quickly. Preparedness is vital during this period of severe weather. Store vehicles and valuables, and review your safety plan. We’ll bring you further developments as the situation unfolds. Stay cautious and protect yourself. We will go live on the WKEI Facebook page and on-air, at 102.1 FM and 1450 AM, if any severe weather develops.
