The "polygon" refers to a storm-warning area designated by the National Weather Service. Buffalo State alumnus Ted McInerney, '07, will present a series of talks relating to the tornado outbreak that leveled communities in and around Birmingham, Alabama, on April 27, 2011. McInerney is a broadcast meteorologist with the CBS affiliate WIAT-TV 42 in Birmingham. He was on the air on April 27 when devastating tornadoes chewed up swaths of the Southeast in the largest tornado outbreak in U.S. history.
In his first two talks, McInerney will recount the tornado outbreak and the damage it caused. In his third talk, he will describe the importance of social media as a life-saving tool during the tornado outbreak. These talks are funded by the Buffalo State College Grant Allocation Committee and the Faculty-Student Association. All are welcome.
