Severe Weather Awareness Week

I would like to thank Dave Tucek from the Indianapolis NWS office. He presented to a class of nearly 60 people at the spotter training class in Kokomo on Saturday. It was an informative class. It has been 25 years since I attended a class and things sure have changed.

One thing I really liked is the use of current severe weather events to teach. A couple of storms from 2006 were diagnosed from photos, video, and radar. The radar discussion was very helpful. As a user of GRLevel3, his detailing of events showed me some of the finer points of interpreting radar data.

Severe Weather Awareness Week

This the week were everyone should take a few minutes to review their plans during severe weather. Recent (tragic) events should remind everyone that preparedness is key. You can get started with tips here.

Don't wait and get prepared!
