What You Can Report

You can report any weather event that occurs in your local area, but we are most interested in significant events: waterspouts, severe weather, flooding, etc.  In particular:

  • Damage from winds--briefly describe what was damaged and time it occurred.
  • Hail--include size of hail and time it fell.
  • Tornadoes, waterspouts, or funnel clouds.
  • Flooding--briefly describe what is occurring.
  • Dense fog restricting visibility to less than a half mile.

Be as specific as possible when describing the weather report and include pictures, if available.
