A stocking stuffer for weather geeks

The Wichita branch of the National Weather Service has produced “Storms of 2008,” a free CD that takes a look at five of the most significant weather events from last spring and summer in and near the Wichita area.

Forget garden-variety thunderstorms. This DVD focuses on “severe weather episodes” of 2008. The DVD includes a short video on how to create a disaster safety kit.

Families in Kansas can also order free safety videos from the weather service on the same web page. But don’t dawdle. Chance Hayes, warning coordination meteorologist with the weather service, said the agency has a limited number of DVDs and videos, and when they’re gone they’re gone.
