Fun Free Entertainment for Weather Buffs

I have an eleven year old who is crazy about weather. His favorite TV show is Storm Stories and his room contains a weather radio, a Galileo thermometer, and one of those tornado things you make by duct taping two 2-liter bottles together.

So last night his grandmother (another weather buff) and I took him to a storm spotter's training put on by the National Weather Service at a local high school. Imagine 150 nerds in a school auditorium watching videos of tornados and you've pretty much got it nailed.

I love seeking out fun free or low-cost stuff like this that matches our interests.
