Fun Fact: "I knew from the time I was seven years old, that I wanted to be a meteorologist. I used to lie in my bed at night and open the curtains to watch the lightning and listen to the thunder during storms. One summer in particular, there were tornado warnings issue for my county and a funnel actually touched down just a few streets away from our house. I can remember my mom and sister being in the basement and my dad and I out on the back porch looking for the tornado."
