That would be Gary England...probably will be known as the father of tornado forecasting

Yeah, Gary England has saved countless lives with his weather reporting. Always cool and telling it like it is.

“probably will be known as the father of tornado forecasting”

Actually, that title would belong to Robert Miller (Col, USAF) who, along with Ernest Fawbush issued the first and one of the most accurate tornado forecasts of all time (in 1947). Ironically, it was for Tinker AFB. He eventually went on to author Air Weather Service Tech Report 200 which was for years (and I believe still is) the bible of severe storm forecasting. I was trained by some of his “disciples” back in the late ‘70s in the AF Severe Weather Unit in Omaha.

Thanks!

He’s fantastic. His knowledge and professionalism are perfect and, as I listened to his broadcast, I was thinking that these qualities combined with his absolutely calm demeanor and poise must help those in the path of storms to remain as calm as possible.

I must say, too, that his accent is splendiferous.
