Description:
Social media and the real-time web are changing the way news and information is disseminated -- and weather news, especially severe weather, is no exception. Join Jared Smith, who operates @chswx on Twitter and http://charlestonwx.com, as he demonstrates the tools (including GR2Analyst, a RADAR analysis tool used on The Weather Channel and other local news outlets) he uses to report on and gather information about severe weather situations as they unfold.
