We are currently having a flash flood warning. My extreme weather notice on my little weather channel doo-hickey on my desktop says that, “Trained weather spotters have noted flash flooding on highway…”
And, I’ve GOT to know what does it take to be a trained weather “spotter.” I mean, seriously, can’t just ANYONE be a “spotter?” We all played “I-Spy” as kids, I would consider that enough training to be a spotter. And, furthermore, given the choice, I think I’d rather be a “meteorologist” than a “trained weather spotter.”
Trained Weather Spotter… that sounds a lot like “Indian Trail Guide” to me. Why not just say that “flash flooding has occurred…” They are The Weather Channel, were they afraid that they were lacking credibility and had to add “Trained Weather Spotters” to their warning?
I saw hail earlier when there was a big thunderstorm. I know it was hail. It was pea-sized chunks of ice falling from the sky, that is hail. I guess that makes me a “Trained Hail Spotter.”
