CLINTON COUNTY EMA SEVERE WEATHER UPDATE – JUNE 12, 2026

Clinton County experienced severe weather during the evening and overnight hours of June 11, bringing strong winds, heavy rainfall, lightning, and scattered storm damage across portions of the county.

During the event and again this morning, Clinton County Emergency Operations Director Renee Crick conducted damage assessments in affected areas to evaluate the impact of the storm. Director Crick also coordinated with the National Weather Service, which responded to Clinton County to assess storm damage.

Following their assessment, the National Weather Service determined that the damage sustained throughout the county was the result of straight-line winds associated with the severe thunderstorms that moved through the area.

Clinton County Emergency Management Agency would like to thank the dispatchers with Clinton County Central Dispatch, who fielded and coordinated the calls throughout the event. We also want to thank responders from Clinton County EMS, Clinton County Sheriff’s Office, Frankfort Fire Department, Frankfort Police Department, Kirklin Police Department, Kirklin Volunteer Ambulance Service, Kirklin Volunteer Fire Department, Perry Township Volunteer Fire Department, Rossville Police Department, Rossville Volunteer Ambulance Service, and Rossville Volunteer Fire Department. We also cannot forget to thank Clinton County Area Plan, Clinton County Highway, Frankfort Street Department, Frankfort City Light and Power and Duke Energy. Many of these employees worked through the night and continue to work today to respond to incidents, clear roadways, restore services, and ensure public safety.

We would also like to recognize and thank the residents of Clinton County who stepped up to help their neighbors. It was encouraging to see our community come together in the aftermath of the storm, assisting those affected by damage, helping clear debris, and supporting cleanup efforts.

Residents are encouraged to continue exercising caution as cleanup efforts progress. Please stay away from downed power lines, report hazards to local authorities, and use caution when traveling in areas where debris may still be present. We know that many homes and businesses are still without power.

Your attention to weather warnings and safety recommendations helps protect lives and property.
