Training for storm spotters, co-sponsored by the National Weather Service (NWS) and LLCC (coordinated by Dean Butzow, professor of geography) was again a large draw, with 180 attending in the Student Union on Feb. 29. Participants could become official NWS weather spotters, who advise emergency departments and the NWS as to weather conditions and are often called out when dangerous storms approach the area. If you missed it this year, mark your calendar for Feb. 27 next year for the next storm spotting class at LLCC!
