Tomorrow night my wife my son and myself are doing a storm spotter classs my my daughter thats also licensed cant go she will be in drivers E.D. school at the same time and in the same town which sucks but she can always do a class later Ill even sit with her through it.
How long are these courses they say 2 or so hours from what Ive heard but Im not sure exactly what we will do there any advice??? Any hints tips or help would be appreciated. Im sure all will be fine for the most part the reason for this is the county next to mine contacted me Friday and asked if Ide be interested in running a storm group for my county they had a meeting about it and its tough because half there group was splitting off to my county to watch and they were running off their countys repeater and my counties so they need a group started here.
I said I didnt have the training and within a few minutes they said you will now and found a class 1/2 hour from my house and like I said my daughter has driver school at the same time so that was kind of funny. ironically there were 3 Tornadoes in my county that same night just a few hours later and there were 2 confirmed lastnight about an hour or so from me so I guess its time for my family to help out where we can now. I just dont know what to expect out of all this thats why I am asking what Im about to step into here. . Thanks....Tony
