You should take a Skywarn class from NOAA. It makes you a "trained spotter." It's also damned good information to have, and I think that it should be part of all HS curriculums in tornado alley. I signed up for RACES here, and Skywarn is required training, but I'm glad to have it overall.
That's been something I've wanted to do. We'll see if things shape up this year, or if a new scare comes along.
They've been doing them virtually as well.
