Winter Storm Fern is making its way through the majority of the contiguous United States. Forecasts indicate that as much as 2/3 of states may be adversely affected by the accompanying snow, ice, sleet, and freezing rain. The website listed below provides excellent information on being prepared for staying safe and warm when a storm like this hits.
The greatest concern in the East Texas area is the potential for .25"-.50" of ice. The weight of the ice on trees can cause branches/limbs to break. Should the damaged limbs fall on power lines, a significant disruption in the electrical supply can follow.
Power outages and unsafe road conditions MAY cause BMA Seminary to be closed or have delayed opening on Monday and/or Tuesday (January 26-27). BMATS follows the determination of our local school district regarding weather-related closures or delays. Please monitor our page for the latest information.
Protect your people. Protect your pets. Protect your pipes.
Check on your neighbors, particularly the elderly.
Stay warm. Stay safe.
