Amory working to repair tornado siren
SUMMARY: Residents around Amry are concerned about an out-of-commission tornado siren in West Amry, especially after a devastating ef3 tornado hit the city in March. The city has been testing their sirens frequently in preparation for tornado season, but a siren in West Amry is faulty and out of commission. This has left residents feeling uneasy, especially with recent tornado watches and the trauma from the previous tornado. The mayor of Amry says the siren can be fixed for $27,000, but in the meantime, there are backup plans in place, including renting alternative sirens and positioning fire units to serve as backup. The sirens should be back up and running soon. Residents are encouraged to download the WTV weather app for the latest updates.
WTVA reporter Jake White spoke with the mayor of Amory and residents to learn more about a faulty tornado siren in west Amory.

SUMMARY: The Stewpot Opportunity Center in Jackson is responding to dangerously cold temperatures by extending its hours to 22 per day and providing shelter for up to 30 people. The center ensures guests receive food, clothing, hygiene items, hot meals, showers, and rest, with activities like movies to help them stay comfortable. Director Javonda Stanton emphasizes that it is inhumane for people to be left outside in the cold, which can lead to conditions like hypothermia and frostbite. The city is also reopening a temporary shelter at Champion Gym in partnership with Shower Power for those in need.
