In Canada it's Canwarn.. But it's the same thing.. We're trained by government meteorologists. Our local club runs a session for volunteers every spring.

I've been a spotter for 8 years. I managed to spot dual funnels a few years back. They never developed into anything.

Can't believe this thread has been up since 2006 and I'm just now noticing it..... Oh, well.

N8VEI here, south central lower Michigan.
At the risk of dating myself, back before the NWS came around to each county to teach the class, it was up to each county's Emergency Manager to train their own storm spotters. The first time I took the class was back then, and when I became the city's Assistant Emergency Services Coordinator, I found myself conducting the training. It is what motivated me to get my ham license.
