A personal question.

[JessRomero]

I am 25 I started tracking after rita hit us. I love weather! S2K has really helped me to understand what really goes on with these storms!

[green eyed girl]

I'm 38 and I've been tracking storms for 11 years

[butch]

I am 58 and I have been tracking hurricanes since Carla in 1961. I was raised in Galveston and I live in Houston now so the interest is obvious. I believe this forum is great. We have come a long way from push pins in a map on the wall.

I'm 48, born in Lafayette, LA. My mother got me tracking hurricanes back in 1961, when I was 4 years old.

Hmmm...I'm not sure that the math works out there, wxman...

Anyway... I'm 49, and grew up in Waco. I first started tracking storms when I saw what Beulah did to Padre Island back in '67.

I am 57 The first TC I can remember was Cleo in 1964. Came right accross my parent's house in Ft. Lauderdale.
I started tracking tropical systems in 1966 when I did a science fair project on hurricanes. Won 2nd place by the way.

Ahhh...you're right....my bad. I guess I didn't stop to notice the age of the thread. Wow. That means the wxman is REALLY an old fart now, huh?

I have been a weather nut since Ed Brandon (Channel 13 ABC) came and spoke to my class when I was in 5th grade in Pasadena ISD. It was 1976 and Anita affected the Hou/Gal area. I began tracking storms and have gone to see many tropical storms in Galveston over the years ( I reside in the Webster/Clear Lake area). I guess Iv'e been following Hurricanes for 32 years.

[Jinkers]

I'm 50, lived here in south florida my whole life, I remember Betsy, but was just a little kid-lol, but really started tracking when Andrew wrecked havoc on my area.

[americanrebel]

I'm 31 and have lived in South Louisiana all my life. If I remember correctly it was Juan in 85 that got me interested, so I that would be 23 years I have been hooked on the tropics.

[abjolly]

50 yrs old, 4th (!) generation floridian, born and raised in st. petersburg, have loved weather all my life.
should have studied meteorology instead of chemistry!

[cheezyWXguy]

Im 16, and the first time I saw a tc (bertha 96-IR image on the news) I was 4 years old and was fascinated by its amazing swirling colors...however my interest fully developed at age 10 when hurricane lili threatened the TX/LA coast as a cat4 and and the first storm i fully tracked was hurricane claudette in 2003.

[alan1961]
