00:00 It's National Weather Persons Day.
00:02 We need to know how did you
00:03 get interested in the weather?
00:05 I moved to Florida from Michigan when I
00:08 was 10 years old in Sarasota, FL.
00:10 That area of Florida gets a lot of
00:12 thunderstorms during the afternoon and
00:14 evening hours, especially in the summer
00:15 months and that started really my
00:17 interest in the weather and I have to
00:19 give a lot of credit to two on air
00:22 meteorologists back in that day.
00:25 Famous Roy Leap from Tampa.
00:27 He was on the air and he really
00:29 helped mentor me a little bit as a
00:32 child and in the weather and getting
00:34 more interested in the weather and
00:36 help me out and then there is Joe
00:38 Denardo from Pittsburgh when I moved
00:40 back to Pittsburgh area who really
00:42 influenced me a lot and kept my
00:44 interest in the weather going.
