NWS reminds people about the dangers of wind and hail


PLEASANT HILL, Mo. - While tornadoes grab headlines, it's not the sole thing that can do the most damage during severe weather season.

Meteorologist with the National Weather Service, Jimmy Barham, told KXCV/KRNW that they wanted to focus on wind and hail for severe weather preparedness week because hail can be life-threatening and straight line winds can pack a punch.
