I had the opportunity to visit Fulton Elementary in Dubuque recently and spoke to a lively group of about 40 second graders. Ann Johnson is one of the second grade teachers and was thrilled to have me speak since she has been watching the KCRG-TV9 Morning News since she moved from Chicago nearly three years ago.

After explaining how weather is created and demonstrating the importance of the atmosphere, the group and I discussed severe weather safety. I was very impressed that these kids knew exactly where to go and what to do in order to be safe during flash flooding, thunderstorms and tornadoes. What a brilliant bunch!

Thanks for having me, Fulton! I look forward to visiting again soon.
