| RISING WATER - Storms dumped several inches of rain across Wise County yesterday and overnight. Some residents reported seeing cloud rotation at times yesterday afternoon, and the Decatur storm sirens were sounded around 4:30 p.m. There were no reports of major damage. Several minor accidents were reported during the storm, including a jackknifed 18-wheeler on U.S. 81/287 near Business 81/287 south of Alvord. There were no reports of injuries.
