Oh No! Have You Checked on Junior?

Did you notice Alva on the list several times?  Those observations
were taken at the Alva Mesonet site, near the airport a couple miles
south of town.  Another weather tower in town, the Washington School's
"Mesonet Junior" station, was blown down during the event!
