Lindsey's lesson: Hurricane webinars for 4th, 5th and 6th graders

The National Hurricane Center is holding two webinars about hurricanes for 4th, 5th and 6th graders in Florida. They will focus on the job of a meteorologist, the weather hazards that come with hurricanes and how meteorologists get you the information you need before a storm.

You must register before and each webinar can only accommodate 500 students, so it’s recommended you register ahead of time.
