Multiple strong tornadoes tore through the region from the early to late evening hours on Wednesday. The greatest threat through Saturday for most of Southeast Missouri now is significant flash flooding. This comes just two weeks after a U.S.-wide system on March 14th and 15th brought widespread destruction across the region. Wednesday afternoon, Gov. Mike Kehoe issued an Executive Order activating the MO National Guard to assist in storm response. All Southeast Missouri State University campuses will operate with a delayed start on Thursday, April 3, to give Facilities Management time for assessment and cleanup following Wednesday night's severe weather. Offices will open at 11 am, and classes beginning at 11 am or later will proceed as scheduled. Classes beginning before 11 am are canceled.
