April 19, 2007 -- Paul Duval, Meteorologist In Charge, Tallahassee WFO, National Weather Service On Thursday, April 19th, the North Florida held its final meeting of the 2006-2007 school year. We discussed our balance, the end of the semester picnic, and held elections. The speaker for this meeting was Paul Duval - MIC from NWS Tallahassee. The balance that will be passed to the newly elected officers will be $563.20. The "End of the Semester Picnic" was held Saturday, April 21 at Tom Brown Park. Graduate students and undergraduate students battled for bragging rights as flag football champions. The undergraduates dominated with a final score of 61 to 37. Delicious food and fun was had by all! Congratulations to the 2007-2008 North Florida AMS board members! The board composed of the following people will begin May 1:
And last but not least...the "Resident Advisor of All Things Funk" will be David Piech! Paul Duval, the MIC from NWS Tallahassee, spoke on the most recent severe weather outbreak on March 1st and March 2nd. He discussed the multiple tornados that touched down in southern Alabama and in particular, the devastating Enterprise tornado. He mentioned that the National Weather Service was in constant contact with the EOC of Coffee County since 10 in the morning that fateful day. They discussed several times evacuating the Enterprise High School, but decided against it, and for good reason. Had they evacuated, the casualties would have been much higher. He concluded by explaining why that particular tornado was upgraded from an EF-3 to EF-4. Damage assessment after the storm passed indicated that the tornado reached its peak intensity as an EF-4 just before it hit the high school.
