Fall 2005
Profits from a DVD produced by Greg Stumpf (CIMMS) and Jim LaDue (NWS Warning Decision Training Branch) called "Storms of 2004" are being donated to the Central Oklahoma Chapter of the American Meteorological Society and the National Weather Association, and to the American Red Cross. The DVD highlights seven days of tornadic storms on the Great Plains last year. The DVD sells for $25, and to date Stumpf and LaDue have donated $3,155 to the Red Cross and $1,051 to the local chapter of the AMS. More information can be found at www.towerofstorms. net/sls22. Jim and Greg are also developing a "Storms of 2005" DVD, to be released in November, 2005, with proceeds to benefit the 2005 hurricane relief effort. Details will be available at www.stormsof2005.org.
