There were two separate severe thunderstorm warnings issued for Drew County last night, which resulted in heavy rains and strong winds, causing damage across Monticello and the eastern half of the county.
Our appreciation goes out to all of the law-enforcement and first responders who braved the harsh weather and hard work to clean the roadways and help others in need, during the time.
Everyone from city and county employees, to volunteer firefighters, to on duty law-enforcement, to friends and neighbors. Thank you!
