What A Weather Week?!

From Florence to Geraldine and everywhere in between... Thanks to everyone who helped during WAFF 48 Weather Week. We programmed over 500 weather radios. Wow! That’s 500 more people who are safer when severe weather strikes.

Did you miss our weather radio events? No worries... Stop by WAFF 48 during normal business hours. That's Monday-Friday 8am-5pm (excluding holidays.) We are more than happy to program your weather radio for FREE. (Pssst! We may still have tickets to an upcoming Huntsville Stars game. Ask our front desk receptionist for the hook-up.)

Stay in the know when you are on-the-go! Check out the WAFF 48 mobile app. Friend us on Facebook. Follow @waff48 on Twitter. Thank you for your support:)

DeSoto State Park making progress after March storms

DeSoto State Park making progress after March storms

Ft. Payne, AL (WAFF) - Cleanup is ongoing at DeSoto State Park, three weeks after a strong storm damaged buildings, knocked out power and shut the park for a few days.

According to DeSoto's Brittney Hughes, the restaurant and a majority of the motel rooms remain closed. However, progress is being made. 14 of the motel rooms are back open and the hiking trails are passable. All other areas of the park, including the campgrounds, country store, picnic areas and nature center are open.

Plans for the Civilian Conservation Corps Museum dedication are going ahead. It'll open on April 19th, and be open on weekends, or by appointment.
