Property owners with tree damage on private property should contact a landscaper or use the weekly curbside yard waste program through LRS to dispose of limbs/branches.
The National Weather Service is reporting a significant thunderstorm risk for Thursday, June 11 with the potential for damaging winds up to 80 miles per hour, large hail, and potential for a tornado. Please ensure that you have multiple ways to receive weather and emergency alerts and be prepared to take action in response to severe weather.
