The 2004 Skywarn session was attended by over 220 people, including representatives from the weather services of the local TV and Radio Stations, the LCRA, National Weather Service, American Red Cross, Emergency Management Agencies of Austin and Travis Country, and various Amateur Radio Emergency Response Groups. The weather forecasting / monitoring community consider this annual weather spotter training activity to be an important element of their preparedness program.

3M was thanked for its fourteen years of community service in helping make Central Texas a safer place to live through events like the annual Skywarn storm spotter training sessions.

The event was announced in the Austin American Statesman last week and there was a short clip on Fox News channel 7 at 6:00 PM Saturday the same evening.
