If you are out of town and can read this, you might want to call your loved ones in Marion and Crittenden County to check on their well being.
Due to widespread power outages, there is a good chance that many people living in Crittenden County are unaware of the problems facing them in the coming days. Most are possibly not aware that power will be out for much of the county for another 24 to 48 hours, perhaps longer.
There is Red Cross emergency shelter operating at Crittenden Elementary School. There, residents who need help can get a warm meal and place to stay until power is restored in the community.
