Oklahoma Weather - Weird and Significant Weather Events - Weather-Watch Forum
Actually, it’s a youth program for the local EOC. We have to prove we’re mature enough to handle the responsibility, and are still under supervision when we work with the radars. Actually, I’m the one storm spotter out of youth that’s joined. I have far more advanced knowledge than most of my Earth science teachers and I’ve been studying meteorology since I could read. In fact, my favorite book was “Golden Compass’ Guide To WEATHER.”. That, and everyone has to start somewhere. I am not inexperienced with my field, I’m not sure if self practice counts, and I have plenty of competency. More than the guy who accidentally sent Hawaii into a state of panic over the weekend.
Thanks for the explanation of the program. That makes a lot more sense now. Good luck with the program and congratulations on pursuing your volunteerism. One can never be too young to volunteer and help others.
