He is a nut! He seems to be energized by terrible storms.

Jim Cantore, one of the most famous peeps on the Weather Channel. He always seems to be assigned to where the worse weather occurs.

ETA: If there is a storm, you do NOT want to hear JC is in your area.

I used to think he was arrogant
Then I read some of his bio and my heart goes out to him
Appears to just be a man that is enjoying his life to the fullest

Hurricane #Ida has intensified to a truly sobering degree overnight, with maximum winds now around 150 mph, placing it among the strongest hurricanes to ever hit #Louisiana. Landfall will occur within a few hours. The eye is currently moving in the general direction of Grand Isle, LA, and the eyewall could pass very close to NOLA.

Our thoughts go out to everyone in the path of Ida - please be safe.

I stayed for Katrina so we are all to familiar with hurricanes. But we still do everything possible to protect ourselves and family. Praying it moves through fast.

That's the one thing I'm hearing which seems positive. Forward movement at 13 MPH. Be safe.
