THE REGIONAL GIRLS BASKETBALL GAME SCHEDULED FOR TONIGHT, MARCH 2 @ ANDERSON COUNTY HAS BEEN CANCELLED.
The game will be played on Saturday, March 3 @ 2 PM. The FINALS will be played on Sunday @ 3 PM. All games are at Anderson County High School.
I'm glad to hear the AD's and Tourney Officials made this call. Anderson County is in the middle of a rare High Probability Risk area for bad storms and possibly tornados. I certainly wouldn't want to be driving a bus full of young people and have to make a call if I drove into the middle of one of these expected dangerous storms. Storm Chasers from all over the U.S. have showed up in Lexington and Louisville today because of this rare warning. Here's what I read on the Texas Stormchasers website:
The Storm Prediction Center has upgraded a portion of their enhanced moderate risk to an extremely significant, rare HIGH RISK. These high risks are only issued one or two times a year and mean there is a very high confidence that there is the potential for very significant, deadly, severe weather. Don’t think just because you’re not in the high risk that you’re not in danger. The significant risk of severe weather extends all the way south into Mississippi and Alabama, northward into the Ohio Valley. Surrounding that significant risk, we have the standard “slight” risk of severe weather. That extends all the way west towards Arkansas/Louisiana, northeastward into the Great Lakes. Severe weather coverage will be higher in the moderate/high risk zones, but severe weather is possible in the standard risk zones as well.
