The KCII severe weather action team took the air for up to the minute coverage late Thursday evening for a severe thunderstorm warning in the listening area.

The warning was issued for southwest Washington, southeastern Keokuk and northern Jefferson counties just before 10p.m. In the warned area there were reports of more than two inches of rainfall in an hour near Packwood. There were also reports of wind damage with downed power lines near Lockridge. Three members of the KCII Severe Weather Action team responded and provided live coverage. Had the power gone out, the coverage would have continued with our emergency backup generators. The one to count on for up to the minute severe weather coverage is AM and FM KCII.
