However, this program is open to the general public. Volunteers will be taught to recognize features associated with rapidly developing, mature, and dissipating thunderstorms which cause hazardous weather. They will assist NWS staff in issuing warnings to save lives and minimize damage to property. There is no way to stop them, but they can be seen and people can be saved. Only one instrument can detect a tornado funnel with complete certainty - the human eye.
More concern is needed.
