Have you ever considered about adding a little bit more than just your articles? I mean, what you say is fundamental and all. However think about if you added some great images or video clips to give your posts more, “pop”! Your content is excellent but with images and clips, this site could undeniably be one of the most beneficial in its field. Great blog!
Thanks for the reply. We will take that into consideration. We do multiple posts for many storms, so the details and images/videos are usually split between multiple posts. Thanks for using SevereWXWarn.
