A dark brown male pit bull was found today (Saturday, March 26) in our neighborhood.
He’s currently hanging out in a fenced-in yard for the time being.
If anyone knows who he belongs to, please contact Kristin on Oxford Dr. at 919-260-8713.
Good morning
The following information was sent to us from Emergency Management.
As the national Weather Service is forecasting severe weather for later today I want to bring up some preparedness and safety tips. Please heed any watches and warnings. You can register for CodeRed notifications at this address; https://t.co/AGHbjT69 to be informed of any warnings issued by the NWS.
Tornado Watch: Be Prepared! Tornadoes are possible in and near the watch area. Review and discuss your emergency plans and check supplies and your safe room. Be ready to act quickly if a warning is issued or you suspect a tornado is approaching. Acting early helps to save lives! Watches are issued by the Storm Prediction Center for counties where tornadoes may occur. The watch area is typically large, covering numerous counties or even states |
Tornado Warning: Take Action! A tornado has been sighted or indicated by weather radar. There is imminent danger to life and property. Move to an interior room on the lowest floor of a sturdy building. Avoid windows. If in a mobile home, a vehicle, or outdoors, move to the closest substantial shelter and protect yourself from flying debris. Warnings are issued by your local forecast office. Warnings typically encompass a much smaller area (around the size of a city or small county) that may be impacted by a tornado identified by a forecaster on Radar or by a trained spotter/law enforcement who is watching the storm. |
Severe Thunderstorm Watch: Be Prepared! Severe thunderstorms are possible in and near the watch area. Stay informed and be ready to act if a severe thunderstorm warning is issued. Watches are issued by the Storm Prediction Center for counties where severe thunderstorms may occur. The watch area is typically large, covering numerous counties or even states. |
Severe Thunderstorm Warning: Take Action! Severe weather has been reported by spotters or indicated by radar. Warnings indicate imminent danger to life and property. Take shelter in a substantial building. Get out of mobile homes that can blow over in high winds. Warnings are issued by your local forecast office. Warnings typically encompass a much smaller area (around the size of a city or county) that may be impacted by an on-going severe thunderstorm. |
If any warnings are issued move away from windows and find most interior portion of the building to be protect from flying debris. If outdoors seek sturdy shelter. DO NOT try to “ride the storm out” in a vehicle as straight line wind can reach up to 100 mph flipping vehicles. The possibility of falling trees are a real threat as the ground is saturated and strong winds can topple trees.

Routes Rescheduled For Later This Week
Durham, N.C. –Today’s Schedule A roadside recycling collection route scheduled for Monday, February 15 for the unincorporated areas of Durham County has been cancelled due to treacherous road conditions. Residents normally scheduled for today will instead have their recycling picked up on Wednesday, February 18. At this time all other routes scheduled for this week remain intact.
Please call the Durham County Solid Waste Information Line at 919-560-0433 for updates or visit the County’s web site at www.dconc.gov/recycling.
Many of us are now aware of Durham utility crews marking the location of utility lines along our streets. The city has responded to queries by numerous neighbors and indicated that the city has granted AT&T a permit to install fiber lines in the area. There were also some reports that Google was planning on installing fiber lines , but that Google had not filed for a permit yet with the city. So, we will see and wait to hopefully get a notice when this construction begins. if anyone has an update, please post a comment.
Stay warm and be safe.
