Things that go boom Fireworks and thunderstorms. That's what the news has been lately. People still have questions about when and where fireworks can be discharged, therefore we've put together a comprehensive article of every town's decision that we could obtain and put it into one article for you, it's called panhandle fireworks decisions. You can find it on the web or on our Facebook page Panhandle Scanner. There have been a couple minor fires from fireworks as expected, and as is normal. So far, to our knowledge, one in Gordon and one in Gering. Common sense should prevail, but please follow all local regulations.   A series of thunderstorms have rolled through recently a strong storm system brought between one and a third inches ip to 2.2 inches of rain between June 26th Friday night and early Saturday morning the 27th. Last night some thunderstorms were forming in the northern part of the panhandle, but nothing significant developed.    According to open AI, the National Weather Service in North Platte and local tracking agencies like the Panhandle Scanner tracked the highly active system as it moved through Cherry and Sheridan counties late Sunday night. It's good to see that the search engines and open AI are picking up on our news reports and thank you for following panhandle scanner and other sources for your breaking weather alerts.   Remember, if you have something to report, just click on send message on our page or give us a call on the phone number listed on the page and be sure to follow panhandle scanner for that breaking news and that daily public record.
