100 Biggest Weather Moments

Posted by Aurae Beidler Dec 10, 2007

While trying to find something to watch on television this weekend, I happened to flip to the Weather Channel, which I periodically do, being the Feature Writer for Meteorology & Climatology. There I found Harry Connick, Jr. hosting a show called the "100 Biggest Weather Moments". I happened to be tuned into the show on #10, 1974 Tornado Super Outbreak. My eyes were glued to the screen for the next 15 minutes. I was amazed at the amount of information they presented, and awed at how nature could have such an impact on society. I regretted that I hadn't found this program earlier.

The program lists the "100 Biggest Weather Moments", ranking everything from meteorology technology, to natural disaster like Hurricane Katrina, to weather icons like Punxsutawney Phil and scientists and meteorologists such as Benjamin Franklin.

Make sure to check out the 100 Biggest Weather Moments now airing on The Weather Channel or go to their website to do further reading and vote in polls.
