With the Spring tornado season right around the corner, Wabash County commissioners took action last night to make sure all storm sirens are ready to go. WEMA Director Gerald Brooks told the county board that two sirens were recently found to be inoperable. Those were the ones on Division Street and the other at 6th and Mulberry in Mt. Carmel. Brooks said it’s not known when the sirens were damaged either by a lightning strike or power surge. Commissioners approved the purchase of surge protectors for all storm sirens in the county as well as repairing the damaged sirens that Brooks said exceeded his budget.
