Osage Centre, Salvation Army open as Cape warming centers

The Osage Community Centre has opened as a place where Cape Girardeau residents without power can stay warm. The center opened as a city-designated "warming center" at 7:45 a.m.

The Salvation Army at 701 Good Hope St. will open as a warming center at 8:15 a.m., the Cape Girardeau Fire Department reports.

The fire department is also urging people to stay off the roads, saying they've glazed over and black ice is a hazard.

The Southeast Missouri Red Cross has already opened three warming centers in the Jackson area at Crossroads Church, the Bavarian Halle near Fruitland and at Immaculate Conception School.

The Southeast Missourian will update this story as it develops.
