Channel 2 Storm Chaser Lanny Dean, Dan Lockhoff, and chase friends Jeff and TJ Smith joined me on my first storm chase of 2008. We travelled to western Oklahoma on a "slight" chance severe weather day. We didn't expect many storms to form, but what...

     I'm often asked about my co-workers, if they are as they seem onthe air, or if we all really like each other.  They are and we do.  For some shops you can fake it and play nice while broadcasting together, but behind...
