National Weather Festival draws a crowd
A sunny Saturday in November brought crowds of about 1000 curious weather
enthusiasts to NOAA's current facilities in Norman, OK for the National Weather
Festival, sponsored by the Norman Chamber of Commerce Weather Committee. NSSL
staff were on hand to explain the latest phased array radar technology, and
while computer screens showing weather and radar data attracted the attention
of grown-ups, a tornado model with simulated damage to a farm and the surrounding
landscape drew the interest of children.
