1. Thanks Steve...

And thanks for hosting this group. I'm subscribed to weather watchers and have been clicking in daily.
Being a fellow Floridian, I'll be watching the Tropical Storm information closely.

3. Thanks for the resources and being the host. I'm not watching the weather as much as I once did.

But I have some old posts her at WW you might enjoy. The weather hasn't been remarkable here recently.

When I worked outside for a living, I was very into watching TWC and stuff like that to be prepared.

I find it interesting and it could be that this group will get more attention when a weather event occurs. This an important source of news. I remember when Sandy hit the northeast and posters offered links to the emergency services lines in NYC and they were working around the clock. I stayed up half the night listening to them dispatch. The level of coordination and planning was impressive despite any thing that didn't work out.

4. my pleasure freshwest !

I've lived in Florida all my life, so it's second nature for me to be attuned to tropical weather developments. I've always been interested in meteorology/climatology.

I think most of DU is not aware of this group. I did a post in Welcome & Help once, but that's dropped now. Have a great day !

I posted a while back to this sticky? I come back here often to check it. It would be handy to have it up here. Thanks.
