For anyone who doesn't know, that night in Dayton there were 19 tornadoes. They ranged from EF0 to EF 5. I was lucky because everything went around the area where I lived, although for awhile one was headed right at me. Many homes that were hit were uninsured because the owners couldn't afford insurance. At least one neighborhood was virtually wiped out. A couple that I worked with lost their house. That night was Memorial Day. Three months later. On August 4, there was a shooting at a popular nightclub. Nine people died, and 17 were injured. It was a horrible to be recovering from the tornados and then have the shooting happen. The community really came together, though. I'm glad that Jamie Simpson said what he did. Lives were saved that night because of the work that he and the other weather men and women did that night. It was extremely difficult to do the warnings with so many tornadoes forming at one time.

One really heartwarming story about Mike Bettes is that following the Joplin tornado he adopted an orphaned Golden Retriever and named her Joplyn. Sadly, Joplyn died earlier this year.

A friend picked me up for work after a snowfall. My car was stuck. As we came to a stop at a stop sign, the snow on the roof of her car slid down the front windshield. She proceeded to drive without using her wipers to remove the snow. When I suggested she do that so she could see, she told me the wipers didn't work. She wasn't at all fazed by it and I just prayed we'd get to work safely. People are flat-out crazy sometimes.

[@me21464]

The WHIO (CBS in Dayton - where Phil Donahue was an anchor before making it big) meteorologist, McCall Vrydaghs, handled it a bit better. She actually got choked up in the middle of the broadcast - seven tornado warnings simultaneously. Western Ohio saw more tornadoes in four hours on Memorial Day than is normal for the entire state in a year. People were worried about a lady who exchanged views of a windmill ceiling with a contestant in her 18th minute of fame. Only one person died and it could have been a LOT worse!

Jamie Simpson, James Spann, Mike Morgan, Damon Lane, Dave Freeman and Gary England are the six meteorologists for whom I have tremendous levels of respect. Jamie Simpson for having ripped into viewers who were complaining about Fox 45's coverage of the Memorial Day 2019 tornado in Dayton, Ohio interrupting the new episode of "The Bachelorette." James Spann for his coverage of the April 27, 2011 tornado outbreak on ABC 33-40 and more specifically urging parents in Tuscaloosa, Alabama to stay sheltered and that if the principals of their child's school got angry over their students being late they could call him. Dave Freeman for giving advice on air during KSNW Channel 3's (the NBC affiliate in Wichita, Kansas) coverage of the May 4, 2007 tornado that hit Greensburg, Kansas. Dave told any children who were possibly home alone or with a babysitter and no doubt scared to death that they had to be brave and turn up the volume on the TV or the computer speakers so they could hear him as they took shelter. Dave also urged those kids to take shelter under something sturdy such as a workbench or the basement stairs as well as telling them to put on their winter coats and use a helmet to protect their heads or use blankets, pillows and mattresses for protection. Gary England for his coverage of the El Reno, Oklahoma tornado on May 31, 2013 on Oklahoma City's CBS affiliate KWTV Channel 9 and also urging two of the station's storm chasers Val Castor and David Payne to get out of the area when they were getting too close to the tornado and it looked like it wasn't moving. Mike Morgan for his coverage of both of the tornadoes that hit Moore, Oklahoma (May 3rd, 1999 and May 20th, 2013) on Oklahoma City's NBC affiliate KFOR Channel 4. Mike was left speechless by the May 3rd storm as it was the worst nightmare of every meteorologist: a large, violent and destructive tornado on the ground in a major metropolitan area. On May 20th, 2013 he admitted on air that he never wanted to say it in his position as the chief meteorologist but he ended up saying that it was May 3rd, 1999 all over again. Damon Lane for his coverage of the 2013 Moore, Oklahoma tornado on Oklahoma City's ABC affiliate KOCO Channel 5 as it affected him personally due to the fact that he lives in Moore. In an episode of a show on The Weather Channel called "Real Time Tornado" Damon talked about how he was juggling two roles that day: chief meteorologist and husband. Damon was text messaging his wife and urging her to get herself and their dogs into their storm shelter.

[@alb.dersame]

I remember vividly watching Derek Kevra of Fox 2 news explaining how to clear snow off of car's. So many people only make a little port hole in the windshield to see in front of them. The big Problem with that, is that they drive really slow, because they can't see if it's ok to change lanes. As the snow melts a little, or the speed gets faster, all of that snow goes flying over other cars. It causes accidents. Now multiply this by half of the morning rush hour idiots? And you really get fed up with these morons. I loved that segment. Derek is still hard at work on Fox 2 Detroit to this very day ! Rock on Derek 👊😎

After we did the load in at the gig, it took me literally Hour's to get a cab to take me to the hotel. The cabbie said when they get an Ice storm, the whole town shuts down. That makes perfect sense too. I don't blame you guy's one bit. I "Always" follow 3 rules of safety each winter. 1) if you aren't sure if you are driving too fast for the road conditions ? You probably Are, slow down. 2) Remember "Neutral" if you're coming to a stop, but you are still sliding in ice. Put it in neutral as fast as you can ! It's the same idea as being in a boat on the water. When you put the boat in neutral, it just sinks in the water a little. Same concept in a car. You will slow down alot faster (in neutral) this has saved my ass SO many times. It could save your life in certain situations. Always remember "Neutral" 3) I ALWAYS either stay behind a pack of car's, or stay well in front of them. Never drive with the pack, if you can avoid it. I tend to go a tad faster than some people. I've driven on snow and ice for my whole life. That's not meant to brag (by any means) it's just that some people are only comfortable doing 20 mph. If you feel safe, it's ok to get in front of the pack (for me) we've All seen that percentage of people that blow by everyone like it's dry roads. They usually end up in a ditch. So I'm not THAT guy. I just know my limits. Drive whatever you feel comfortable with. Without being a Billy bad ass, lol. Safe travels to everyone this coming winter ..

Thundersnow is pretty weird to experience. I have heard it a few times over the years but never actually been outside or at a window to see the flash.
