Description

 

Become a trained storm spotter and partner with the National Weather Service! This two-day camp will provide basic information on storm formation including what to look for as severe weather approaches. On day one of camp, learn to become active weather observers in the community as part of the CoCoRahs Network (Community Collaborative Rain, Hail, and Snow). On day two, visit the site of the 1990 Plainfield tornado and analyze its path. The cost of this camp includes an official CoCoRahs rain gauge. More information can be found at www.cocorahs.org.
