Meteorologists from the National Weather Service office in Wichita, in partnership with the Barton County Emergency Management office, hosted “Storm Fury on the Plains” on Thursday at the Great Bend Crest Theater. This presentation was designed to prepare storm spotters and weather enthusiasts for the upcoming storm season. “This presentation is very important not only to the spotters, but to fire and police departments and the public as well,” meteorologist Andy Kleinsasser said. “Here in Kansas we get more people calling in to report severe weather. These presentations help with that.”
