[warn-news] March 2, 2012 -- killer storms

[Steve Lewis]

I believe the last time there was a subject line like this, on this 
list, was almost 13 years ago.

Today was one of those days that Cincinnati-area people will remember 
for some time.  For WARN's part, thank you for working with net control 
to get important information submitted quickly and keeping 
"non-reportables" to a minimum.

I'd never heard reports of random debris falling from the sky -- until 
today...so we've never had to ask about the size and nature of that 
debris.  Thanks for giving the best information you could, even if you 
were incredulous about what you saw.

Today emphasized the need for more eyes and ears exactly where there are 
fewest...in the small hamlets in towns around the region...Holton, 
Piner, Moscow....  If you are in one of these areas, thank you for your 
support.  If you aren't, but have some influence in those areas, please 
help us "recruit" more observers for the next one(s).  Hopefully, it 
won't happen again...or at least not before 2025.

But it might also happen next week.
