OSHKOSH, WI (WTAQ) – Severe weather hitting our region has caught some folks off guard.
When it comes to large gatherings, how do organizers deal with severe storms or tornadoes come through??
At E-A-A AirVenture in Oshkosh, spokesman Dick Knapinski says June is when they get together…
“work with local officials and go through table-top exercises as to what happens if we do have a case of severe weather come through”
Knapinski says they need to be prepared, no matter how long organizers have lived in Wisconsin.
“we’re a large public event so we have to have those kind of plans, those kind of provisions in place to move people if need be, and to respond in case we do have severe weather come through the area”
It also helps, he adds, that pilots and air enthusiasts are well versed in weather patterns and how to handle them.
