Thursday night I attended a Skywarn class put on by the National Weather Service in an effort to get volunteers trained to recognize weather events. My friend Tanner Lovelace joined me, as well as Suzzanne Naylor.
The two hours that the presentation lasted was not enough to go into as many details as I would’ve liked. We did see dozens of spectacular photographs of weather phenomena, as well as diagrams to how strong storms develop. It all was enough to get me hooked, though I still want to attend the class on April 14th at the Fuquay fire department. Since there is no “closing time” for fire departments, we can stay as long as needed to cover the material.
The next time a storm blows through, I may be out chasing it, reporting conditions to the NWS and snapping pictures like crazy. Woohoo!
