EDITOR'S NOTE

When we started publishing the EN Highlights newsletter back in March, we set out to create something educational that would provide real value. Each edition features a dedicated web page that goes into the weeds on a weather-related topic. You can explore every featured topic in the Weather 101 Resources library.

Our other goal with this newsletter was to highlight how awesome our customers are. That's why each edition features a customer video plucked from our growing collection of Success Stories.

We hope that we are delivering on both of these fronts and that you enjoy receiving this email each month. Thank you for supporting Earth Networks and happy holidays!

Hot Topic: Lightning ⚡

This year, we've talked about thunderstorms, lightning, lightning detection, and even what happens when you're struck by lightning.

Get ahead of the storm with this guide that explores the different types of lightning alerts, how they work together, and when you should use them.

🚨 Managing weather emergencies. We asked emergency managers to share their stories and lessons learned from managing severe weather events (like hurricanes and flooding). And then we packaged those stories up into a nice e-book along with the top tips from emergency managers on managing weather emergencies. Flip through the e-book.
