I didn’t know what to expect. I’m in Birmingham, AL for the conference that concludes my Mississippi State University education.
I’ll go over this in more detail later, but much of what I’ve heard has been interesting. I’m not totally sure it wasn’t covered in my classes for the most part.
We heard from a local meteorologist, Air Force Reserve “Hurricane Hunter” meteorologist and one of the MSU professors today.
He was actually the surprise of the bunch. His case study on a severe weather outbreak in the Southern Plains was interesting to follow and predict (even though it’s already happened).
The meetings start early (for me) at 8:30 and continues to 7:00 PM or later. That’s a long day.
Each session ends with a tape swap. Everyone brought an aircheck of their work and we all watch together.
I brought a broadcast from Monday. It was an evening with thunderstorms passing through the state and a Severe Thunderstorm Watch for Northwest Connecticut.
It’s funny. I’m on TV every day, yet I’m spooked by the idea of my fellow students seeing my presentation.
I’ve dodged that bullet the last two afternoons, but tomorrow’s the last chance and I’m certain it will be shown.
Not that it will get me an easier audience, but I’m here with a bunch of mostly nice people. There are a few spectacular looking women.
The spectacular women should be shown for all of us, so Helaine doesn’t kill you without reason.
