 Life is good all this month at Appalachian Wireless. Get the LG G5 for just one penny with sign up or renewal of a two year service agreement. That's almost $100 off the regular price. Better service, bigger savings. That's today's Appalachian Wireless. As today's severe storms rolled through the region, many found themselves unprepared. Some belfry residents were doing what they can to change that this evening as they attended a weather spotting training class being held by the National Weather Services Jackson Office. It's very important to have eyes and ears in the field. We use radar during severe weather to monitor storms, but it's important to have that ground truth information and that's what weather spotters provide to us. We had a line of thunderstorms right across eastern Kentucky. We got a lot of valuable reports about the wind damage and even some hail from our spotters. But we want to make sure they're aware of what we need to know about. We don't need to know about everything just a few certain items. Although the residents and attendants are all here for the same class, many are here for different reasons. I think it was pretty interesting. Weather's always been a passionate mind of always chased a storm every time I get a chance to like today. We went to the top of Ballport Mountain on an old brand strip and watched this thing come in and it was amazing. Why do you think it's a chance, you know, we may be able to help the community one day because you never know what the weather just seems like keeps getting worse and worse like today. You know, we had roofs blow off and stuff and if there's any way we can give a little extra warning, you know, and help out the people with the weather bureau, we just want to do that.
