JEFFERSON CITY – The National Weather Service, the State Emergency Management Agency and Missouri's local emergency management offices urge Missourians to use Missouri Severe Weather Awareness Week, March 3-7, to plan and prepare for how they will react to tornadoes, flash flooding and other severe weather.
Missouri will conduct the 40th annual Statewide Tornado Drill on Tuesday, March 4 at 1:30 p.m. If severe weather is in the forecast on March 4, the drill will be moved to Thursday, March 6 at 1:30 p.m.
“It’s important to remember that tornadoes and dangerous flash flooding can develop rapidly and with little warning,” Gov. Jay Nixon said. “I encourage Missourians to talk at home, at work and at school about severe weather safety so that in times of real emergency, folks are prepared for whatever Mother Nature brings.”
"I encourage all Missourians, including schools, businesses and recreational groups, to use Severe Weather Awareness Week to plan and practice how they will respond to severe weather in specific scenarios—indoors, outside and while traveling,” said State Emergency Management Agency Director Michael Barrett. "Reacting quickly and properly can save lives.”
On March 4, Missouri outdoor warning sirens and weather alert radios will sound, indicating that Missourians should seek shelter during the statewide tornado drill. The safest shelter location is the basement or an interior room in the lowest level of a building. The drill is complete once everyone is accounted for in the designated shelters.
Missouri's
Stormaware.mo.gov website includes detailed videos showing how to react to severe weather and shelter in specific types of buildings—houses with and without basements, mobile homes, schools—and important information about tornado sirens and weather alert radios. The site also includes links to free severe weather texting services that can alert people across Missouri to upcoming severe weather.

Butler City Council News
BUTLER, Mo - In Council news, if all goes on schedule and weather permitting, the Solar Farm should go into operation the 24th or 25th of February!
Meanwhile, an electric line is shading portions of the solar complex, and the City is putting it underground. The Solar Farm is nearly ready to start producing electricity.
The Heise-Meyer company, the Real Estate agency in contract with Butler concerning promoting city property in the Industrial Park, has asked for an extension of its agreement, moving it to February of 2018.
Also on the Council agenda was accepting the low bids on street work in the 700 block of West Pine. Sprouls Construction of Lamar will start the job. Vance Brothers of Kansas City got the micro-sealing portion of the project and Blevins Asphalt of Mount Vernon was awarded the bid for the asphalt overlay.
Bids are due by March 14th for work at Butler Memorial Airport, and those bids will open in March 18th.
The City of Butler is purchasing new membranes for the Water Plant. They’re used to clarify the water residents use. The Council is getting in compliance with the requirements to be done by October of this year.
Steven McSperitt was at the Council meeting, representing Butler’s West Central Warriors semi-pro football team, asking permission to use the Little League Football and Soccer area, for their use this fall, and the Council gave the ok.
In other activity, The Park Board approved pool hours and swimming lessons for the summer season, and also approved compliance to state statutes in the city’s alcohol and drugs ordinances. These changes are not major and only to remain within state code.
One other thing of interest, The Butler Police Department reported that Butler’s 9-1-1 equipment went on the blink Friday and was temporarily replaced while it was repaired. If repairing it isn’t possible, new equipment may need to be purchased.
It’s always good to know the system works. A residence received a new telephone with readout for the hard-of-hearing and dialed 9-1-1 by mistake as they tested the new phone. A police officer was at the door within three or four minutes and didn’t take the word of those who answered the door but wanted to see the one for which the call was said to be
made.

Missing Girl Possibly in the Butler Area
WEBB CITY , MO - Webb City police are trying to locate 16-year-old Cheyenne Robinson, who was last seen about 7 p.m. Monday leaving her home in the 800 block of South Walker Avenue.
Robinson reportedly is not familiar with the area and has not been taking her prescribed medication, according to the Webb City Police Department.
Gerling said the girl has a short history of using both marijuana and the synthetic variety, known as K2, and has "experienced some heavy psychological blows over the years" which have led to mental issues.
Clay Gerling said his niece only took her cell phone with her -- no clothes ... she didn't even wait around to collect a $200 paycheck due her.
There has been some news - from Joe Park, Cheyenne's biological father - but Cheyenne's sister Megan Robinson said she wasn't going to put a lot of credibility into the message he sent to Gerling.
Megan and Gerling said Cheyenne has not had contact with Park for several years and yet, he supposedly sent Gerling a Facebook message at 12:04 p.m. Tuesday.
The message read, "Hi how u doing? I just wanted u to no that chey is fine she called me last night and sed she moved to butler mo and is happy and safe she is going to stay with a friend and there family she sed she is tired of being used and she sed she has never felt wanted or luved and she wants to start a new chapter in her life and find herself she wanted me to tell u she whould be in touch with you only so chill. I am actuly hapy for her she is a go geter she will be alot beter off away from them losers dont make it hard on her she deserves a chance u no she is 16 now when we wer that age we wer on our own."
Attempts to contact Park by phone or through social media were unsuccessful.
Robinson is described as about 5 feet 5 inches tall and weighing a little more than 200 pounds. She has shoulder-length blonde hair and blue eyes and was wearing a pink shirt, black shorts with a pink stripe, tennis shoes and a diamond-studded headband. Police said she has a scar on her right wrist.
Anyone with information about her whereabouts may contact Webb City police at 417-673-1911. For more information regarding this press release see “find Cheyenne” on Facebook.
