This coming Saturday, February 28th, 2009 will be the 3rd Annual Severe Weather Awareness Day in Lubbock. We participated last year and brought the chase vehicles out for display. We will again be out with our chase vehicles this Saturday, so come out and join us and take part in all the severe weather weenie goodness that will be going on! It’s free except for the IMAX showing of Storm Chasers.
The Student Chapter of the American Meteorological Society at Texas Tech University along with the Science Spectrum, KCBD News Channel 11 and the National Weather Service will be hosting Lubbock’s Third Annual Severe Weather Awareness Day on Saturday February 28th, from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. at the Science Spectrum & OMNI Theater.
