4p Road Update: (Final Road Update For This Event)

Mother Nature has been busy today as clouds have cleared and temps have hit 40 degrees in most places.

We have seen significant road improvement throughout the City of Florence and all of Lauderdale County. Patchy winter precipitation is still present on some roads. CONTINUED CAUTION IS ADVISED. Remember, just because the road is clear in front of you doesn't mean it's clear around the next turn.

OVERNIGHT:

With a clear overnight sky, temps will drop into the low to mid-20s with some areas bottoming out in the upper teens. Residual water on the roadway may create patchy ice. We do not expect this to be a widespread problem, but do encourage overnight drivers to take it slow and leave plenty of stopping room.

Sunday:

Temps will rebound early and reach above freezing levels by 9a with SUNNY skies. Any ice that forms overnight will melt quickly. We still expect wet roads throughout the day as snow continues to melt.

Melting Snow + Road Treatment = a mess on your windshield

(probably a good idea to make sure your wiper fluid is full before you head out tomorrow).

School:

Contrary to popular belief, EMA does not make that decision. We will assist in re-evaluating roads tomorrow and will post once schools and districts make decisions.

Thank you for following Florence/Lauderdale EMA during this weather event and have a safe remainder of your weekend!

(Our next weather maker arrives late next week)

NEWS ALERT 🚨 LAUDERDALE COUNTY

MARINE POLICE RELEASE INFORMATION ON DROWNING AT WHEELER DAM, TROLLING MOTOR FAILED

A marine-related event that occurred at approximately 2 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 12, has claimed the life of a Lewisburg, Tenn., man.

Dennis Neal, 72, drowned after the 1977 Hurricane fishing boat that he was onboard overturned. Neal, Timothy Hazelwood, 44, and a 14-year-old all of Lewisburg, Tenn., were onboard the 1977 Hurricane fishing boat near the Wheeler Dam on Wilson Lake in Lauderdale County when the vessel’s trolling motor failed. As a result, the vessel was drawn into the Dam’s generators causing the vessel to overturn.

Neal, Hazelwood and the 14-year-old were all thrown overboard; however, none were wearing a personal flotation device (PFD) at the time the vessel capsized. A Trooper with the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency’s (ALEA) Marine Patrol Division along with members of the Killen Fire Department immediately responded to the scene and were able to retrieve Hazelwood and the teen, who were both found in-between two of the Dam’s turbines. A search was then conducted, and Neal’s body was recovered near the location in which Hazelwood and the teen were rescued.

The following agencies responded and assisted with the rescue and recovery operations: the Killen Fire Department, Lawrence County Sheriff’s Office, Lawrence County Emergency Medical Services (EMS), Lawrence County Coroner, Red Bank Fire Department, Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DNCR) State Park Rangers from Wheeler Lake along with ALEA Marine Patrol Troopers.

ALEA Marine Police continue to investigate the incident.
