Another Great Guest to Speak at Local NWA Chapter

The Central Alabama Chapter of the National Weather Association continues to have incredible guest speakers come to town and discuss weather and research with the Chapter.

The May 2014 Chapter meeting will feature compelling research about how social media, specifically the Facebook, is helping researchers map tornado paths.

Birmingham native, proud Huffman High School Viking alumni, and Chapter member, Dr. John Knox will be the guest speaker at the next chapter meeting. Dr. Knox is a professor in the Department of Geography at the University of Georgia. Using the April 27, 2011 tornado outbreak, Dr. Knox has discovered some incredible information on how tornadoes loft, carry, and distribute debris. His research has been featured on The Today Show, and he will be sharing these fascinating findings with the Central Alabama NWA Chapter.

The Chapter Meeting is Monday night, May 19, 2014 at the Residence Inn, in Hoover, AL. This hotel is located on Highway 150 between the Galleria and Hunter Street Baptist Church. Doors open at 6:30 PM and the meeting starts at 7 PM. You can join the Chapter for $25 which is good for all of 2014 and gets you into all Chapter functions. Guests may attend chapter meetings for $15.
