SAWXREP need your real time weather observations i.o.w. if you observe heavy rain,
flooding, strong wind, rough seas, storm damage etc. Please inform the SAWXREP
so that we in turn can keep the public informed. Tweet us at @SAWXREP or post on our Facebook timeline by clicking HERE.
Do not assume that SAWXREP knows for certain that severe weather has
occurred. Help us to spread the word about severe weather and NEVER
assume that your weather observation report is not important. SAWXREP would like to hear from you.
