● May 16. Florida Lightning.
by
Len Hathaway.
Learn about facts versus fictions about lightning, including important information regarding protection of physical property and personal safety. Hear about everything from lightning rods to surge protectors. Remember, Florida is the lightning capital of the U.S.
● June 20. Hurricane Outlooks.
by John Shewchuk.
Discover how scientists estimate the coming season's number of expected tropical storms and hurricanes. Find out why computer weather or climate models are not used -- but instead only statistical models are used. Find out how these same statistical models are used by the Farmer's Almanac, and even by department stores to stock seasonal merchandize.
● July 18. How the Hurricane Identification Philosophy is
Changing.
by John Shewchuk.
Over the past few years, there has been an evolving change of philosophy of how and when tropical cyclones are named. Historical trends are examined, including the affects of changes in technology. Hear what Dr. Neil Frank, the longest serving Director of the National Hurricane Center has to say about these trends.
● August 15. Climate Change Calamity -- at 1 PM at Bridgeport
Recreation Center.
by John Shewchuk.
Learn about important climate studies that you will not hear about from the major news outlets. These studies are published in scientific journals by both academic and government sources -- and yet the public hardly know about them. Using government data, you will see that severe weather events are decreasing -- and not increasing. There is no climate emergency.
