Storm damage reported in Sikeston; officials implement curfew

Sikeston under curfew due to the storms ...Times of this curfew are from 8 p.m. until 6 a.m - https://www.kbsi23.com/news/sikeston-under-curfew-due-to-the-storms/

We are watching channel 12 to see what’s happening here currently sunday night and KFVS is showing most of their coverage in Illinois. Southern Illinois is prob watching channel 3 and Paducah is watching channel 6 so that leaves Cape with almost no coverage as far as hail???, wind gusts ??? Please KFVS, the people in cape need a place to watch! Maybe channel 6 is featuring Cape.

I agree with Proud. I can't imagine that folks in southern Illinois, south central Illinois, and western Kentucky would watch Cape TV instead of closer to home. When the weather is east of Cape, near tv has to be more effective.

What is the purpose of the curfew other than more government control? The damage is done. We need to stop bowing down to government control.

The curfew is a safety action as well as an attempt to limit looting of any valuables left. These restaurants, businesses and home owners need this protection.

Bad weather brings a message on the TV from the EAS Emergency Alert System over here , it doesn't matter what channel or show is on the TV . 3 real loud beeps and then a screen with names of locations and times ending with 3 more real loud beeps . Then the TV goes back to whatever we were watching . This might happen several times when it's storming and it's never a local news station .

While the Advance and Delta area was receiving sustained wind, rain, and hail, KFVS was in IL and KY. When they did come back to MO the coverage was a joke. Sikeston was hit hard and no mention of that while CH 12 was in IL and KY.

Southeast Missouri University Foundation,

I agree. The siren was going off in Scott City but CH12 was talking about Paducah. I'm guessing it went off because of high winds? I did have some limbs down today. It would have been nice to be able to find out something local.

I agree with all of the above, especially Proud Paw Paw and Kristen Hopper. I live in Scott City and heard the sirens twice while KFVS was in IL and KY. That is totally unacceptable. We need to know what's going on in Scott, Cape, Bollinger, and other LOCAL areas, not all the way across the state. I even heard talk of storms in Indiana for goodness sake!

KFVS does not want to cover SE Missouri. KBSI is missing a huge opportunity to increase its viewership in the area.
