Prior to WeatherBug, Andrew Rosenthal worked as a forecaster for a cloud seeding
project in Bismarck, ND. He received a Bachelor of Science in Atmospheric Science
from Cornell University.
Fun Fact: Rosenthal is a huge Boston Red Sox fan — he has attended
at least one game every year since 1986. He also enjoys swimming (swam
competitively from 1987-99) and studying the weather, especially lightning.
He even spotted a tornado:
"While on an internship in southern California, my boss decided to take me on a
storm chase... in my car (claiming that his didn't have A/C). We drove out into
the middle of the Mojave Desert, where we picked up the moisture and temperatures
near 105. After about an hour of driving along desert roads, we found the storms
starting to build. All of the sudden the clouds started rotating above us.
Despite the rotation, it was incredible calm at the ground. It must have been the
quietest I've ever heard — middle of the desert with no animals or wind. All of
the sudden the wind picked up and the clouds started rotating toward the ground
about 500 yards from the road. A tornado had formed! It lasted about 10
minutes, picking up some sand and dirt from the desert floor before collapsing,
but my boss and I stood by the car in awe watching the tornado. Officially, it was
a landspout, a very weak tornado. But in my mind, it was a wonder to watch...
actually seeing weather at work while remaining in a safe position."
