I really enjoy watching Jim's reports on The Weather Channel. He is such a macho guy that I would have never guessed he lives such a tough home life.

You just never know....

Who in the world wrote this terrible piece, seems like a 6th grader could have done better.

The author's name and link to the article is included.

[Ptarmigan]

Yeah, I never knew that too.

My prayers to Jim and his family, we met and talked to him here in Wilmington, my wife's picture was on the weather channel he let her hold the mic as if she was interviewing him.

Thanks for posting this.

Jim's life sounds like he needs a vacation.
I am thankful he has such a tender attitude for his wife. They sound very loving to one another.
It's good to see another side of their lives.

Thanks for article.

At the Days Inn in Panama City Beach, while waiting for Hurricane Ivan to arrive, meteorologist Jim Cantore calls home to Atlanta to talk to his wife and two children. In the background is cameraman Eddie Cortes.

I always liked this guy.

I didn't know he had a family for as much time as he spends on the road...

...but his weather reports suck. I live in Panama City Beach and it is my opinion that the guy was "Mr. Hype" when it came to the wind and waves at Panama City. On Tuesday before the storm, he was way over the top reporting the deteriorating conditions here. Tuesday was a gusty, but nice day here....unless you were to believe Jim Cantore.

Oh, I understand he is trying to generate excitement and urgency, but he could still do so while being truthful about current conditions.

Likeable guy, but realize he full of hype when he reports the weather.

and an owl hooted...

ROTFLMAO!

I'm tired of TV hype on these hurricanes. I go to the National Hurricane Center for information when one is headed for my area of Florida.

Thanks, as long as I've been here you would think I'd get it right, been a while, more coffee please.

[Ouachita]

Glad I could help, Sarge.

[MsBoomop1]

thanks for opening up the picture for my husband. Guess I am a celeb again...Lordy Lordy...gotta go on a diet for sure but Jim is such a nice guy so it was worth it...

Hope that you don't mind my playing around with your photo a little bit. :^)
