Chuck Collins, gosh, he's just, you know, on the air all the time."

And I said, "He lives weather."

And you really did.

I mean, you were devoted to it.

You were one with Mother Nature, except she was calling the shots.

- Yeah, exactly.

And I think you have to be.

You have to get right into it.

It's like breaking news or election night.

I mean, severe weather is election night.

And the newsroom is, election night is a big thing for the newsroom; severe weather is a big thing for the weather department.

So yeah, you have to be invested in it.

And, you know, you have to enjoy the sunny 80-degree days while you can, because, you know, we live in the most volatile weather belt in the world, basically, in our latitudes.

- Tornado Alley.

- Tornado, snow, you know, hard freezes that could affect crops.

I mean, flooding, drought.

I mean, we've had it all.

So it's challenging because it's not like Florida weather or Phoenix weather or Hawaii weather.

Those meteorologists get maybe two minutes on the air if they're lucky, maybe a minute because there's nothing to talk about.

- Same old, same old.

Yeah, exactly.

Okay, but now the Washington tornado.
