| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | A winter storm moved into southeastern Illinois early on March 19th. The storm dumped up to 11 inches of snow across the area. There was considerable blow and drifting of snow which temporarily closed some roads in the area. One man was killed, near Casey in Clark County, when he lost control of his semi-truck and slammed into a concrete overpass and burst into flames. Several schools, a nursing home, and several businesses in the area were evacuated because the truck was carrying some type of chlorine compound, which emitted dense smoke and a bleach-like smell through the area. The buildings were evacuated as a precaution. Otherwise, there were numerous minor accidents which did not result in any serious injuries. |
