Hello, My Name Is Amy and I’m a Spotter
Posted By AmyD. on October 30, 2007
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.”

I thought you were a spotter if you left little drops of blood in your panties after your period.
:lmao:
Thank you. I’m here all night. Tip your waitress.
It’s not hail until the TWS says so!!
LMAO!! You kill me!!
If you’re not trained, can you get training? How do they train you, is it using methods of force?
Trainer: What do you SEE, spotter?!?
You: Um..um…a..um…cloud?!?

Trainer: NO, MAGGOT. That’s a THUNDERHEAD!
You (convulsing): *blurgleblurg*
..that would suck. I’ll stick to watching channel 5.
I see my comment got messed up…let’s try that again…

…there…that’s better.
I really want to know what the training consists of! I’ve SEEN rain, does that qualify me?
Maybe they were just trained for spotting flash floods on the roads. “Look out your window and if you spot water on road it is a flooded road”. I think even I could handle that one… :doh:
