WeatherBrains 374: A Radar Cake Kapooya?
WeatherBrains Episode 374 is now online (March 25, 2013). If you are crazy about weather, this is THE netcast audio program for you!
Our guest WeatherBrain is Greg Nordstrom. He was born in Hollywood, CA, and grew up in Los Angeles, CA, until he was almost 12 years old. After a brief stop in Raleigh, NC, he moved to Arlington, VA, in 1992. Greg always had a strong interest for weather, especially hurricanes, but a year later when the Superstorm of 1993 hit, his interest became a passion. The pressure dropped to 28.53″ at his house during the height of the storm! He enjoys studying all types of weather from Nor’easters to tornadoes, but my favorite is hurricanes. In his opinion, there is nothing that can compare to the power of a hurricane! He has been very fortunate to have experienced some of the strongest hurricanes of my era, and his ultimate goal is to chase 100 hurricanes before he dies. He loves being a part of a great university like Mississippi State with an excellent department!
In his spare time, Greg loves to watch sports including Raiders, Lakers, UCLA, and the Dodgers. He loves forecasting, historical weather, photography, videography, traveling to the Florida Keys, and, of course, storm chasing ALL types of weather any chance I get! If you ever see him storm chasing, stop him and say hello.
