Details:
Beginning today, there is a WC challenge that will be about the BEST photo uploaded to Texas Weather Center! If you remember the last contest, the winner was Michael with an amazing lightning picture. But it’s 2021, a new year with a whole new severe weather season ahead of us for more AMAZING pictures! The purpose of this contest is to bring the WC community together but also get others outside in the environment taking pictures of the amazing weather around us and flexing their photography skills, ultimately learning new things! The winner gets huge rewards… 500 bonus WC skill points (on top of the score he/she gets)! LET’S GO!
