The Colorado Bridge, on Colorado Drive between Crandell Court and Crampton Court, will close Monday, April 10, and will remain closed through mid-July to allow for reconstruction of the bridge, according to a city of Palm Coast news release.
The project is part of the city of Palm Coast’s bridge rehabilitation program.
Detours will be provided. Those east of the bridge will use Colechester Lane, and those west of the bridge will use Colorado Drive to access Palm Harbor Parkway. For more information, call Palm Coast Customer Service at 986-2360.
All city of Palm Coast offices will be closed Friday, April 14, for the Good Friday holiday, according to a city of Palm Coast news release. Offices will re-open on Monday, April 17, at 8 a.m. Recycling and garbage collection will proceed according to the regular schedule.
Flagler County Emergency Services and the National Weather Service will host a Skywarn Storm Spotter class, acounty government news release.
The class will be taught by Cindy Elsenheimer, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service, and will cover everything from cloud formations to thunderstorm development to visual predictions.
It will be held at 6 p.m. Monday, April 17 at the Emergency Operations Center located behind the Government Services Building at 1769 E. Moody Blvd. in Bunnell.
Those who participate in the class are eligible to become volunteer storm spotters and assist Emergency Services and the National Weather Service by reporting potentially hazardous weather events.
While warnings for thunderstorms are only issued for hail and high winds, lightning is part of all storms and is the cause of more deaths in the United States than tornadoes and hurricanes, according to the National Weather Service.
“Trained storm spotters serve as the local eyes of the National Weather Service,” Flagler County Emergency Management Technician Bob Pickering said in the news release. “These reports from storm spotters mean that earlier warnings may be issued. This helps everyone in Flagler County.”
Storm spotter classes are held infrequently because of the limited availability of meteorologists with the National Weather Service to come teach the class.
Find out more about the Skywarn Storm Spotters Program at flaglercounty.org under the “Webcams and Weather” tab. Also watch the Scud Buster Diaries, Storm Log 1 and 2, under the same tab.
Registration is required, and can be done by calling Pickering at 386-313-4250, or by email at [email protected].
