Dear Followers, Fans, Friends, and Anyone Else who is reading this,

We deeply apologize for the inconvenience caused by some rather rogue automation we were trying to setup to kept triggering messages like this automatically. (WEATHER ALERT - WISE COUNTY VA). We have worked with the third party who posting this and have hopefully resolved the issue! Again, we are sorry for the inconvenience! We have been looking into some automation services to get weather alerts out to our followers within 30 seconds of them being issued (and that is still our ultimate goal) along with a lot of continued custom content as usual.

Thank you for your continued support!
