[Skywarn] Social Media and Skywarn

[Lloyd Colston]

http://www.memphisweather.net/mspotter.shtml
and
http://www.nashvillesevereweather.com/home/Home.html are two NWS
offices that appear to be using
Social Media tools to foster severe weather awareness and gather storm reports.

In Oklahoma, the @NWSNorman folks are using the Virtual Operations
Support Team to monitor
social media and report events that meet Skywarn criteria to the
National Weather Service.

Details about the VOST are at http://okvost.vosg.us/

Are your helping your local jurisdiction with Social Media reports?
