Communities across the area are bracing for a blast of painfully cold air that's expected Friday. The Wayne County, Ind., Emergency Management Agency is setting up warming shelters. Fourteen buildings will be open for people who are without heat. They're meant to be for short term use, and will have minimal accommodations.
The EMA says to call ahead, because they may not be open otherwise.
Help with longer term assistance, including overnight accommodations, food, or other necessities is available by calling 211.
The National Weather Service is predicting sub-zero temperatures, with winds gusting close to 50 miles per hour, Thursday night into Friday.
