Severe Thunderstorm & Tornado Spotter Training 2013

I have it up on the announcements and event calendar for Oak Forest Patch, but want to post it here.  This is an event open to all the public and is free.  It is about 2 - 2.5 hours.  All ages welcome.  

Have you ever wondered what classifies a thunderstorm as a severe thunderstorm and what types of clouds to look for when tornado is possibly going to develop.  Where are safe spots to spot a tornado?  How can you help the National Weather Service, your community, and surrounding communities warn of threatening weather conditions?  These will be topics discussed during the spotter training.
