Bill > SJR0430

This resolution honors Nashville Severe Weather, a local weather information organization founded in 2010 by David Drobny and later expanded with Will Minkoff and Andrew Leeper, which provides critical weather forecasts and updates specifically for Davidson and Williamson counties in Tennessee. The organization began by sharing localized weather updates on Twitter and has since grown to collaborate closely with the National Weather Service (NWS) through the #tSpotter initiative, helping to enhance the accuracy and timeliness of weather warnings and advisories. Nashville Severe Weather was recognized for its outstanding public service by winning the National Weather Association's Walter J. Bennett Public Service Award in 2016 and has also established an intern program to support aspiring meteorologists. The resolution commends the organization for transforming a personal hobby into an invaluable public resource, acknowledging their dedication to safeguarding the lives and property of Tennesseans through precise and timely weather information, and extends gratitude for their exceptional service to the local communities.
