Our members have voluntarily attended training classes provided by the National Weather Service on severe weather identification and storm spotting. Representatives from Local, State and National levels were on hand for this event. Click on the logo for more information on the criteria to be Storm Ready.
Severe storm spotting is an inherently dangerous activity.
Although the risks can be reduced, they cannot be completely eliminated. You can do no one any good if you are reckless, careless or inconsiderate. The public's reception or rejection of us, as Storm Spotters, may depend only on one encounter and that encounter might just be you. The Basic Storm Spotter is just as important or may be more important in a stationary position, because they can relay reports of the progression of the storm as it passes their area. There are no individuals or heroes.
