As far as your spotter I.D. number, check with your local National Weather Service, Weather Forecasting Office (WFO.) Some including the one here in Houston-Galveston do not issue such numbers. If so you just need to make sure that you know what the local reporting procedures are, ( hotline phone number, email, ham radio etc.) Good Luck !?Rev. Robert A.
