ABOUT
CUYAHOGA COUNTY SKYWARNtm |
|
Cuyahoga County
Skywarntm, under the authority of the National Weather Service,
receives and passes ground truth weather reports from a network
of trained severe weather spotters anytime there exists a
watch or warning that affects Cuyahoga County or any of the
adjacent counties. This is a large undertaking given the size
of the area that these six counties span. We attempt to make
every reasonable effort to staff 146.76 repeater during every
occurrence of impending threatening weather.
We, the amateur radio Skywarntm Spotters, are the fastest method
of storm spotting at the disposal of the National Weather
Service. We are able to transmit our observations quite literally,
at the speed of light. Other spotters, somewhere around 40%
of the total number, provide quick information using public
service communications. With the ability to rapidly communicate
the ground truth comes a great responsibility, particularly
considering that Cuyahoga County Skywarntm services one county
on a primary basis and five others on a secondary basis. These
counties are populated by some 2.8 million
people, and even more during business hours.
