Storm Spotters are 4 years old!

The Eyewitness Storm Spotters have been reporting the weather in their neighborhood for four years now! It is still the only network of volunteer weather observers on TV in southeast Texas.

About 35 communities are well represented by folks who love the sound of thunder and don't mind running outside during a storm to see how much is in the rain gauge. In addition to rainfall reports, the Spotters also call ABC13 whenever they spot severe weather or when wind damage or flooding are reported in their area.  The Storm Spotters are the eyes and ears of our weather team, allowing us to monitor the weather in locations outside of Houston.

While we have many areas well covered, there are still a few spots open. If you love tracking the weather and see an open spot on the map above, send me an email!  I'll tell you more about the Storm Spotter program and you can decide whether you'd like to put your town on the map.  You can write me at tim.heller@abc.com

Thanks to all the Storm Spotters who serve their communities so well! You are another reason ABC13 is Houston's Severe Weather Leader.
