Most excellent information from last nights training with Norman.

I am on the NWS Birmingham presentation.  If you can get one of the online
classes, you will learn a LOT about how to be safe.

Weather Ready Nation is just mentioned.  Are you a Weather Ready Nation
Ambassador?

Be safe.

It is better to be informed than it is to be afraid.
