they showed him around 5:30, then they had a special talkback with bill walsh answering questions. If you watch CBS early in the morning, around 5:00 am, they have him on sometimes too.

He was on Dan Rather's news program early last week about Ivan. Good lord, was it really only early last week?

We need a real break.

Yeah,
BUT, he predicted Andrew and Floridians are in love with this guy. Is he a real Met?

My sisters swear by what he says.
That being said, they are in WPB and buying more plywood.
"We are planning to get shutters next year."
Duh.

yup, Norcross is one of the few TV mets with real credentials. He has a Bachelor's degree in Math and Physics and a Master's degree in Communications and Meteorology all from Florida State University

Norcross=A lone voice that go me through Andrew in Kendall. That is why I will forever worship the ground he walks on. Sure, he's busted a few, but who hasn't?

he like to arguee with the NHC forecasters too much for me... saw that at the hurricane conference this year.. he thinks he is above them... you could tell max was not happy.. he seems pompous to me..
