Saline County Emergency Management, in partnership with the National Weather Service in Wichita, will host the annual Storm Fury on the Plains, a free public severe weather education presentation, on February 10, 2026.

Storm Fury on the Plains will be held at Peters Science Hall, Room 201, at Kansas Wesleyan University. 

Doors open at 6:00 pm and the presentation will begin at 6:30 pm.

This presentation is designed to help residents better understand severe weather common to Kansas, including how thunderstorms develop, what warning signs to watch for, how to stay safe and how to properly report storm information.

The goal is to give the public practical knowledge applicable to use when severe weather threatens, helping people make informed decisions and respond appropriately when conditions turn dangerous.
