KSPR's Surviving The Storm And Yours Truly

KSPR -33 will be presenting Surviving The Storm on Sunday, April 5th at 5pm. Senior Meteorologist Kevin Lighty dedicated part of this special to SkyWarn.

Thanks for not making me look like a dork, Kevin. At least I don't think I look like a dork. I guess you can be the judge.
