Free weather spotter class tonight, open to the public

Another weather spotter training session will be held tonight to help residents learn how to spot and report severe weather. The free session is open to the public tonight from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Defiance County Public Safety Office in Brunersburg. The Crescent-News reports there’s no prior registration required, and walk-ins are welcome. The weather spotter training will show what to look for when checking for severe weather, how to stay safe, and a short course in how thunderstorms and tornados develop. The Director of the Defiance County Emergency Management Agency, Julie Rittenhouse, is hoping for at least 40 people to attend tonight. Then , she says, it is important to know what to do if severe weather happens and make a plan.
