One issue I see is that not everyone knows where to go for SkyWarn nets.
In the past everyone knew to jump onto the Saltgrass Link System as the
NWS had someone manning the radio room at the NWS office, and it was a
really quick and easy way to send reports to the NWS. Since the

I think it's time for Harris, Fort Bend, Galveston, Montgomery, and
Chambers counties to step up and do it again. David, I thank you for

NWS did a skywarn class in Brazoria county down in Angleton a few weeks
ago. It was very informative. They're around but they aren't promoted very
well.

It has been years since I have heard of a NWS Skywarn Class which is

benefit from a refresher or the initial class.
