COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KOAA) — On Monday, Meteorologist Lauren Brand visited Woodman Roberts Elementary School in Colorado Springs to speak with third graders. They loved getting to talk with her about the weather and were surprised to learn how many tornadoes Colorado gets every single year.
They also discussed winter storms, wildfires and flash flooding. Many had personal experiences that they shared with Lauren, and asked her questions at the end of the presentation.
