One thing I miss about growing up in Kansas is that every network TV station had a top-tier meteorologist. They were local celebrites. Even kids knew their names, their dogs' names. They came to schools to give talks on weather science. When I left for college and found out that weather reports in other parts of the country are just *read* by randos? Thinking about them likely choking back excitement during this terrible tornado season in the Plains.

@FlashMobOfOne I love him so much. He came to my elementary school and it was better than meeting a rock star.

@FlashMobOfOne Oh, and when Gary Lezak came out! That was huge. By that point, if you're a racist homophobe, you could hardly get ANY weather in KC.
