^^^^ why did we close schools and declare a state of emergency in the state. It was some good rain and thunder and a pretty day overall. I guess I get the school closings but the state of emergency declaration is garbage until after the event



There's a lot of reasons why the governor did that Ben. First of all it made the decision to close county and city school systems by superintendents easier due to life safety concerns verified by the governor and the state superintendent. And they don't have to make up the date. It already sets in motion the personal ( ALEA, ADHS, local EMT's and the National Guard ) to mobilize too an area that may have been affected by a storm. Plus the financial aid the state would get from the federal government.
