Woody's Bar-B-Q Macclenny has closed early today to let all here in our Woody's family get to their homes while our area is under threat of severe weather. Our Woody's family, like yours, may need to get off the roads and/or get their families to a safe place. Please stay alert to weather and stay safe! We will see you tomorrow!

This is a message from the Baker County Sheriff’s Office Division of Emergency Management:
The severe weather event we are about to go through has the potential to be one of the most severe weather outbreaks since the 1993 Super Storm. Tornado Watch called a Particularly Dangerous Situation (PDS) is likely to be issued for our area later today. Severe weather is projected for our area from approx 4 – 9 PM today. You need to take this situation extremely seriously, like you would a potential hurricane. If a tornado warning is issued, please do not try to outrun a tornado in a vehicle. Find a safe shelter in a sturdy building as quickly as possible.
Mobile and prefabricated homes are NOT safe in severe weather, especially older ones. There will be a shelter opening at Macclenny Elementary School located at 1 Wildkitten Dr in Macclenny at 3:00 PM today for those who feel it is unsafe to stay in their homes. There will also be a special needs shelter opening at 3:00 PM at Ed Fraser Hospital located at 159 North 3rd street.
Please bring any provisions you will need while you are in the shelter. Pets are permitted at the general shelter. However, you must provide a crate and food for the pet. They will be housed in a covered area behind the building.
For further information, please follow the Baker County Sheriff’s Office on Facebook or check our automated helpline at 653-HELP or 904-259-6111.
