Today Meteorologist Alex O'Brien visited elementary schools in Pueblo to talk about severe weather safety. All of the students today learned about thunderstorms, winter storms, flash floods, tornadoes, and wildfires.
First, she visited the 2nd graders at North Mesa Elementary. They loved the hail experiment with the hair dryer and ping pong balls.
Then, she visited the 4th graders at Goodnight School. The students were awesome listeners and knew exactly where to go if a tornado approached.
