Jim Cantore excels at injecting himself into weather stories. I've developed a complex relationship with hurricanes over my time in Texas, and he and I wound up staying in the same hotel once when I worked in Houston.

Li'l Baby Scaia was a big fan of meteorology. Back in the olden days, I'd space out to The Weather Channel when they, you know, talked about the weather instead of sending Jim Cantore into whatever disaster.
