Skywarn Storm Spotter

[MrDucky]

Well I decided to become a Severe weather storm spotter recently , I tested and passed my Amateur radio test (Ham Radio) and went threw the National Weather Service Storm Spotters class . January 7, 2008 I witnessed my first Tornado , Yikes !! the one i witnessed is the one that destroyed the Miller trailer park in Monett MO . The pictures i am posting are after i relayed the message Tornado on the ground , Debris cloud visible and exploding transformers .

I had to get at of harms way , guessing now i was TOO Close , this is the front of the tornado as im retriving SouthWest of the storm , yes theres sideways rain and some debris

These 2 are of the tornado on the ground . not very good pictures but the tornado can be seen just left of the center of both pictures

Im guessing do to the Jan outbreaks and the Feb Ar , Tn , Ky and Al tornado's this might be a busy year for us storm spotters

My call sign is KD0CNI and if you listen to a scanner we report and spot on 146.970 and 145.490

Thanks for the work that you and other spotters do for us. Spotters have a key role in warning people and saving lives.

It's apparently dangerous volunteer work and be careful this spring.

Thank You.
