On Wednesday, Meteorologist Alex O'Brien met with students in southern Colorado to teach them about winter storms, thunderstorms, tornadoes, and flash floods. They learned how to identify, prepare for, and take action during each type of severe weather.
First, she met with the 3rd graders in Ms. Weisheipl's class at Ute Pass Elementary in Cascade. The students were great listeners with enthusiasm to learn.
Then, she met with the 1st and 2nd graders at Canon Exploratory School in Canon City. The students were very excited for the presentation and learned the weather dance.
