Every year, WGN meteorologist Tom Skilling puts together a roster of speakers for a severe storms seminar at Fermilab (the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory in Batavia, IL). This year's seminar wasn't quite as good as last year's. Several of the speakers gave very technical presentations with lots of charts and statistics. A troop of boy scouts behind me who all looked like they were about 9 years old left after the second speaker. Those poor kids must have been bored to death. The material was way over their heads.

On the plus side, this was the first year the seminar was streamed live, so if anybody is interested, you may be able to watch it online next year. Tom Skilling also said that videos of the various speakers would be available on WGN's website. As of right now this second, the site lists the 2009 speakers but has the 2008 videos up (however, the 2008 speakers were uniformly excellent and definitely worth watching).
