Floyd County is sending its elementary school students home at 11:30 a.m. Thursday and the high school at noon as the National Weather Service upgraded its Floyd Watch to a warning.

The varsity volleyball home game and senior night celebration Thursday evening is also postponed.

Developing…we will keep watching.
