St. Petersburg, FL – September 11, 2024 – Equipment Leader, a national heavy equipment rental startup based in St. Petersburg, Florida, is proud to announce its sponsorship of the North Mississippi Storm Chasers (NMSC) Greenville Skycam. Through this partnership, Equipment Leader’s logo will be featured on the Skycam, supporting the critical weather monitoring efforts that serve the community.
“At Equipment Leader, we’re always looking for meaningful ways to give back,” said David Lide, Founder and CEO of Equipment Leader. “As a Ham radio operator, trained first responder, and SKYWARN spotter, I’ve experienced a tornado firsthand. I understand how vital early warnings and accurate weather information are. Partnering with the North Mississippi Storm Chasers allows us to support these life-saving efforts.”
The Greenville Skycam is part of a broader network of cameras that help track severe weather in real-time. These cameras provide critical data to the National Weather Service (NWS), helping them issue or upgrade warnings for tornadoes and severe storms.
Stan Dorroh, President of NMSC, added, “North Mississippi Storm Chasers is excited and honored to have Equipment Leader as a sponsor of our Skycam camera project. This network of cameras provides a constant eye in the sky to help determine when severe thunderstorms have produced tornadoes so that warnings can be issued or upgraded. This partnership with Equipment Leader will enable us to place additional cameras and increase our ability to provide life-saving information to the NWS and local media.”
