How I Became Your Local Weather Guy
Hi, Jason here
I’ll be the first to admit it, I’m the kind of guy who tends to overdo it. My wife gives me a hard time about it, and my kids love to joke, but I take it in stride.
See, growing up in Oklahoma, storms were never something you could ignore. I remember one night when the sirens wailed three separate times before midnight. Another time, a tornado tore through two blocks over, and by morning, whole rows of homes looked like someone had taken a giant blender to them. Those images stick with you.
Now, I’m not paranoid, I’m prepared. Always have been. Weather and meteorology have fascinated me for as long as I can remember. Long before Stormy Wheather, I was the guy staying up late reading about past storms, digging into how disasters unfolded, and checking forecasts just to see what might be coming down the line. Not because I was scared, but because I wanted to understand it.
Eventually, I thought, why keep it to myself? If my notes and routines help me, maybe they can help someone else too. So I started sharing what I knew online, figuring a few neighbors might check it out. Turns out, a lot more people were interested. I’ve had folks tell me my checklists and updates helped them get through storm nights with a little less stress. That means a lot.
By day, I work as a warehouse supervisor. But around here, people joke that my second job is being the “neighborhood weather guy.” Truth is, I don’t mind that one bit. If being the over-prepared guy helps my family, and maybe a few others, rest easier when the sky turns black, then that’s a title I’ll wear with pride.
Also, people ask me about the spelling all the time. Truth is, I wanted the name to stand out. “Stormy Weather” sounds like a song; “Stormy Wheather” makes you pause and think. And in my blog, if it gets your attention long enough to prepare, it’s done its job.
