On Wednesday, Meteorologist Lauren Brand visited French Elementary school in Colorado Springs. She talked with 5th graders about weather safety. From winter storms to flash flooding, they talked about it all. They even talked about what to have in a winter safety kit.
They were awesome listeners and had such great questions. Some even took examples from the movie 'Twisters' and discussed the best place to go during a tornado.
