Yours is better than classes. Thanks! Makes me learn how to be meteorological person

32:22 Was that meant to be a Judas Priest reference? Because that was perfect! 🤣

what if im still a kid tho can i take it?

honestly in missouri where i'm at, it seems like the tornado threat is usually pretty high through april and may, and like the moment june starts it just kinda stops.

Nice video!

My old stomping grounds.

I’m getting into the spotting soon enough I have been drawn closer to the tornadoes and hail and thunderstorms but really it was the DeadMan Walking Tornado the El Reno Tornado the Xenia Tornado and the Lubbock Tornado that has drawn me closer to this career I am drawn most closer to this then I have never been before I will be with a more professional group instead of being alone in case I do run into a tornado as it is moving because I don’t want to die alone ;-;

9:58 that looks like 2 to me!

Very informative pair of videos. Thank you for that. Please though, for future videos, turn down the volume of the videos you are talking over. Half the time their audio is slightly louder than your mic and it's really hard to hear what you're saying in those instances

+1 for the Judas Priest reference. "If you did you'd find yourself, doing the same thing too"

Being from Texas, I had to laugh about the gun she left in the car. So typical!

31:00 isn't a Derecho also a type of Thunderstorm?

That dead man walking is a weird tornado image at the end wow! ty for this course , explained alot :)

It's been A LONG LONG TIME since I originally went through this course in 2002 out of then North Webster IN NWS office. I think this one is quite a bit more detailed.

Got too close! Not Got to close!

Your microphone is bad.

4:00

40:00

Have there been other fires you have been able to capture on radar?

Great video, very clear and informative

Thank You

👍

Why doesn't NWS use fleets of drone to monitor severe weather?

18:20 what about the project to install lower level radars on cell phone towers?

I was traveling a lot to settle an estate and took some Sky-WARN classes in Denver, Colorado. They were a whole lot more informative and in depth than the classes in Arizona. I took another class back east in upstate New York and again, very different and another very welcome addition to the Arizona classes. I am originally from Springfield, Colorado, and Amarillo was the closest place to go do some city style shopping, rather than driving into Denver or even Pueblo. I lived in Pueblo for a while too. The most incredible supercell I ever saw was in Phoenix, Arizona. It spawned a few decent tornadoes, but we don't learn much about those in Arizona SkyWarn classes. Then in 2010 we had 12 tornadoes in just a few hours. That is over 12x normal (ANNUALLY) for Arizona, and in the span of maybe 3 hours.

Do you have a PDF file of slides for the class?

Sadly, I can't add more than a one thumbs up! I thought I knew well enough, but I am learning more than I expected. 👍👍👍👍👍

this is very scare, my cat is sad

Can;t find the website to print the certificate

I'm not going to any classes, but as a random viewer, this is good to know!

When you are looking at a weather map from NOAA. How can you see what the shear is?

For those interested in spotting, get your amateur radio license and join up with a local club that has a relationship with your local EMA. For those who are already licensed,DE W4NZX. 73!

I like advanced! Has my name written all over it. 😊

I watched an F 0 go up and down 3 times in the Ca Mohave desert in 2012. It all happened really fast. I caught it all on film. I'm sure now we get these in the desert more than we know.

I’m not a spotter but I feel better knowing what I’m looking at. Thanks for posting this up for us all.

Wow! That August 2015 squall line is a major hailer. On the east coast squalers are almost always just rain producers they almost never have any hail. But they do have a lot of wind

I love it!!!❤

5:07 Did someone lose their best friend? LOL. The "noooo" caught me off guard.

12:15 Where would i find this information for my state, North Carolina?

58:14 Dead Man Walking!!

57:48 Would that be twins? If not, what is the difference?

What are your thoughts on a scientist named Orf, about his findings after creating tornadoes and supercells in a super computer?

16:40 Oh but i have been told that climate change has made severe weather worse!! Lmao, j/k. We all know there is a difference between weather and climate. It is crazy the severity of drop off though...

10:50 Quick question: is there any concern about UNDERrating a tornado? I mean, based on the F or EF scale, tornadoes are measured by damage. You can have an EF3 tornado because it hit a subdivision or town, but if a tornado is out in a field and has winds of 400 mph, it would be a what? EF1 or EF2?? Simply because it didnt destroy enough stuff? How would underrating a tornado affect the data pool for research and statistics? Also, is there a way to differentiate damage level done based on the force of the tornado's winds vs the sustained tornado winds? For example, you have an EF4 tornado that hits a target for 1-2 minutes and does a specific amount of damage, but you might have an EF2/3 that hits the same target but for 5-7 minutes...wouldnt the longer duration do just as much, if not more, damage than a fast moving tornado? As someone from NC where we have to worry about hurricanes, they are bad enough just for the windspeed and rain, but if it is a slow moving hurricane it can do more damage due to the longer duration of sustained winds. Would that not be the same for a tornado?

Excellent couple of videos and really helpful. We'll be registering as spotters

Watched both, very helpful,, thank you much.

Wow. The tornado forming at 6:00 was pretty eye opening to me. It went from "seriously look out for a tornado" with no funnel cloud or anything to full blown "tornado" in about 15 seconds.

Just completed the online course and still feel like I don't know enough. So glad to have found this! Thank you!

How about 10 inches of rain in one hour? Mobile, AL.

This is an excellent presentation. Thank you!
