The National Weather Service is looking for reports of the following:

1.   Tornadoes, funnel clouds, or rotating wall clouds

2.   Hail (please give the size as compared to US coins)

3.   Wind gusts in excess of 50 miles per hour measured with an anemometer.  

4.   Flooding of streams, creeks, or rivers out of their banks

5.   Roads, or streets made impassable due to water 

6.   An inch or more of rain accumulation measured in rain gauge

7.   Any damage by wind or lightning

8.   Downed trees, large branches, or power lines



For wind speeds (item 3) and rain accumulation (item 6) – do not estimate – you must use a rain gauge or anemometer to obtain the measurement.

After you’ve made your report to Skywarn, please pass it along to the RACES group at the EOC on the K3HKI (146.64 [-] PL 146.2) repeater.  Especially reports of flooded roads (item 5), wind/lightning damage (item 7) or downed trees/large branches/power lines (item 8).
