Fermilab!

So as you know I went to the Fermilab tornado and severe storms seminar last night to view their 6 pm show.  It really was something.  There were multiple presentations on different aspects of all of the weather that can impact the US, with a focus especially on severe storms.  Every once in a while, Tom Skilling would give us updates on the tornado outbreak on the big screen as he showed us all of the websites we weather nerds like to use.  Then we got to see Jim Reed and his team as they were tracking a supercell that ended up plowing through southern Wichita with a tornado.  I stayed to see Jim Angel's presentation on tornado climatology, but then I left as it was already 10:30 and I was over an hour from home.  Earlier in the show, Jim Allsopp gave a very interesting presentation on severe weather preparation for large outdoor events.  All in all, it was an enjoyable evening, capped off by a really spectacular lightning show at 2 in the morning.  Unfortunately I was unable to brief you guys on severe weather, but the stuff we learned last night was still quite fun.  Stay tuned!
