... year? Looks even better. Mike Stewart, left, and Hugh Christian work on wiring for a lightning mapper in their laboratory at the University of Alabama in Huntsville. (UAH photo)Lee Roop | __link__. Christian, 71, is a space physicist, former NASA scientist and currently leader of UAH's lightning research group. This week, the group turned on a new lightning mapper on the International Space Station, where it was ferried this month by a Space X Dragon capsule.

That’s where the Wireless Emergency Alerts managed by the FCC come in handy. “There’s Amber alerts, weather alerts and then there’s government alerts. They all have the same tone to them,” explained News 5 Meteorologist Bryan Shaw. The issue is they rely on several factors, ...

But twisters are not confined to the spring months. In the past several years, damaging storms have torn through Tennessee in December and summer months, he said.
