Austin and Trevor, make sure you indicate to the NWS that you are trained spotters and have your parents with you on the phone if it helps. Furthermore, take some pictures to show proof of evidence, and ask if there's any way you can send them to the office via email or some other way. I have to handle verification calls like these often, so showing as much credibility and evidence as possible really helps people like me on the other end.
Flood watches and warnings are up along a big part of the eastern United States today. Stay safe from the flooding, everyone! Feel free to post any reports you witness in this thread, too.
