Thank you for logging onto wmbfnews.com and taking the time to learn more about severe weather. The first step to staying safe is learning about the various weather hazards that can affect your area. You can greatly reduce the effects of a natural disaster by knowing what to expect and what to do in the event of inclement weather. As the Director of the National Hurricane Center Bill Read says, “Learning through education is less costly than learning through tragedy.” I think just about everyone thinks about the weather at some point or another during the course of the day. Of course, most times it’s as simple as wondering what to wear. But as we all know, weather can change in an instant. We can go from clear, blue skies to ominous, grey clouds that warn of strong, dangerous storms in only a matter of minutes. Staying with WMBF News and WMBFNews.com can keep you ahead of the storms. The WMBF News Storm Team is always watching the weather for you and is here to keep you safe. Our hope is you will find this site informative for this year’s severe weather season. If you have any further questions about the topics found here or others please feel free to contact the WMBF News Storm Team. |
