On Wednesday, Meteorologist Alex O'Brien met virtually with several schools across southern Colorado to talk about severe weather in all seasons. She spoke with the 2nd graders at Penrose Elementary in Miss Goodwin and Ms. Fletcher's class. Then she presented to the 3rd graders in Ms. Andino, Ms. Anderson, and Ms. Turner's classes at Wilson Elementary. And she also met with the 3rd graders from Mrs. Hleovas's class at Queen Palmer Elementary.
The students learned some useful tips for staying safe in severe weather. They had great ideas about what emergency items would be good to include in a storm safety kit if traveling in a winter storm.
