In this week’s episode:

Storm DamageAfter the Storms: We’ll visit with Gary Woodall, Warning Coordination Meteorologist, National Weather Service , Fort Worth, TX. Gary gives us a “behind the scenes” look at storm surveys. Straight line winds or rotating? Storm surveys provide valuable clues and research information;
