Today's online forum for busy Eureka and Wildwood moms to trade important tips and opinions reflects all our recent severe weather. Please chime in!
We have had severe storms almost weekly for a month now. While keeping my family safe, it's hard to keep from scaring the kids unnecessarily.

Tips from a TV weather expert prepare everyday folks.
Some visitors to Wildwood City Hall last week ran headlong into inhospitable weather. But after confronting tornadoes, flash floods and lightning strikes, the visitors were official Level 1 "severe weather spotters." In fact, they graduated with a special certification on Thursday, thanks to a lot of help and expertise from Michael Redman, who hosts The Traveling Weather Show. Since 1972, Redman's severe weather classes have turned thousands of everyday people into severe weather spotters, enabling them to report threatening cloud formations and file hail reports. Redman retired as a radio system engineer after 36 years with the St. Louis County Police Department. He also managed the county's severe weather SKYWARN program and the Radio …
