JIM CANTORE
Jim Cantore (born February 16, 1964) is an American meteorologist. He is best known as an on-air personality for The Weather Channel. (More from Wikipedia)
A few days later, we were at the historic Gulf Hills Hotel, where we could use the bathroom and get the local newspaper (the Sun Herald published every single day through the catastrophe) and escape the heat a little. I was in the lobby and wandered up to the front desk and asked the woman there: “I don’t suppose you have a room available by any chance, do you?” When she said, “Yes, we do actually”, I just about collapsed on the floor. I knew that many people had ridden out the storm at the hotel, so I had no hope at all of finding anywhere to stay. As it turned out, Jim Cantore from the Weather Channel had just checked out that morning, so we got his room. I never get tired of telling that story!
