    So Mr. Reynolds (sorry about being so formal), I don't remember if I ever told you my age. I'm the one who writes the blog, Northwest Ohio Storm Prediction Center. I am 15, and entering into the 10th grade. I would like to stay in contact, because I have never met anyone my age that has such an interest in weather as I do. Do you have a facebook account, if so I could friend you if you wanted? Thanks.

    Thanks Joshua for commenting( Hopfully that's what you want to be called, sorry if you don't). It's ok that you were formal about my name. I'm a little bit younger than you, 13 and going into 8th grade. I like your idea to stay in contact with me. My facebook name is LJ Wxman, I hope to change it to Lucas Reynolds in the near future. Hope to talk to soon and have a good day.
