…First, Robertson County has fortunately dodged a good number of weather bullets over the years. This could be due to the unique nature of the county’s altitude combined with its topography and positioning as it relates to normal southern and northern air movements. All that put together may be offering Robertson County some protection, however, you should consider weather alerts released by the National Weather Service seriously and take logical precautions when there is a weather potential like the storms forecasted for this evening…
