What were the funniest, best, and most amazing live reports from the Weather Channel. Just put who, where, and what storm.

I'd say Mike Seidel in Virginia Beach,VA in Isabel.

Jill Brown in the Florida Panhandle during Erin.

LOL, I never seem to catch them so I am going to have to agree with you, I saw Mike Seidel, and even though the situation was intense, I laughed me arse off!!

That would be The Weather Channel's Mike Seidel with MSNBC's Brian Williams.

Another great one was how the Weather Channel had 4 crews out for a embryo named Dennis. A minimal hurricane, well off shore and not moving. They had Jim Cantore in Wilmington, Kristin Dodd in Tybee Island, as well as Mike Seidel in Daytona Beach I belieeve, and Bill Keneely in Folly Beach. Jeez....

I have always felt that John Hope's demeanor up against Hurricane Andrew's demeanor made for a once-in-a-lifetime show. I miss the man.

Biggest laugh----Live crews in North Padre and South Padre for Erika, Jim Cantore in South Padre saw one rain band and Mike Seidel in North Padre saw none! :lol:

I mourn John Hope as well. I bet he would have been on air all night for LILI.

Jim Cantore covering a snowstorm up in either RI or MA a few winters ago, when thundersnow occured. The look on his face when the lightning flashed was priceless! :lol:

Jim Cantore was in the Worcester, Massachusetts area during that thundersnow event. I was 45 to 50 miles ESE of him, at my home in Bridgewater, Massachusetts.

I just did a couple of searches and found this interesting Public Information Statement from the Taunton, Massachusetts National Weather Service office. (I am not sure [the date sounds at least somewhat familar] if this was the day of the thundersnow Cantore experienced, but I found it interesting):

If I remember, Jim Cantore almost got hit by a car in Lafayette, LA the night before Lili. :roll:
