Be a force of Nature!

Beginning today is the National Severe Weather Awareness week!

April 22-28 - 2012

NOAA and the National Weather service and other organizations have been working on the large scale plan for a "Weather Ready Nation"  You can ready my first report about that here;  WRN

Alerting friends and family about Severe Weather and other Events, both man made or natural is very important. Using communication such as a text message can save a life.
