At 7:35pm on May 11th, 2008, Brent Sanger said…: We plan to. We're looking at another night like last night. I am watching the weather radar to see what might be coming, so we can predict where we might be needed. We had a neighboring county get it's EMS station and several other buildings destroyed by tornado this morning. One injury reported, a broken arm from one of the medics at the station, no other casualties that I know of.

Had 4 simultaneous brush fires caused by lightning strikes, and all were in my district, plus a structure fire in a neighboring district. I believe they were all storm related. Not to mention the tornado and thunderstorm warnings and watches popping off all around us.
