93.9 The Eagle – The News and Talk of Columbia, MO
Boone County-based emergency responders are standing by down south, as the Florida Panhandle gets ready for one of the worst storms in its modern history.
Hurricane Michael was a Category 4 storm, and getting stronger, as it made its way toward the northwest Florida coast early Wednesday.
Missouri Task Force 1 members were diverted from a base on the panhandle and were waiting at Maxwell Air Force Base in Montgomery, Alabama instead.
The 16 local volunteers will focus on water rescues.
