If you and your weather peeps are interested in establishing a similar squad, please visit: http://www.nws.noaa.gov/skywarn/ for more information. The main responsibility of a SKYWARN® spotter is to identify and describe severe local storms. Your community could use this valuable human resource to form the first line of defense against severe weather.

And it's a great excuse for a weather party with nicknames and snacks!
