We ran across one of our client sites today and thought we should share it with the rest of you since it was so cool.

This weather site OntarioWeatherService.com is run by several guys whose passion is watching the weather patterns and reporting on it. These storm and weather chasers have travelled across several states searching for the best storms and intriguing weather phenomena.

Most recently, they’ve been covering the impact of the California 2007 Wildfires on local weather conditions. Seeing as this disaster covers a dozen areas in California, it has a wide-spread impact on the lives of many Californians. Some of their pictures have even made it into the local newspapers.

The Ontario Weather Service started in 1999 by Kevin Martin, and was a short 5 person e-mail list service for weather forecasts.
By the fall of 2004, Joshua Young offered to help with server space for the site which would later be known as the Ontario Weather Service Forecast Site. A site that forecasts all of Southern California Weather, from Coast to Desert, it covers everything.

The Winter of 2005-2006 proved that the OWS was taking off. Mentioned on the radio and the news for the first time in OWS operations. The word was getting out on the OWS.
A new website layout was developed, giving OWS a more professional look. More people seemed to navigate much easier, and this is the current layout you see now.

The goal is to save lives, and property, and to provide video broadcasting to the public. One day, Live broadcasts during events will be happening! The site continues to grow fast.

So if you’re interested in what’s going on with the weather on the US West Coast, drop on by their site and check it out…we’re sure you’ll learn something.
