WBRZ - Baton Rouge

My son Michael was covering post-storm recovery efforts in St. James and St. John Parishes. Upon interviewing Serena Taylor, a storm victim who lost everything due to flooding, she commented, "You look like a crazy weatherman I watched in Pittsburgh!" Michael filled-in-the-blanks and confirmed his relationship to me, noting that I left Pittsburgh in 1981 to return to Baton Rouge. Serena's daughter met and married a young man from Louisiana; she followed them here and arrived just before Hurricane Katrina in 2004. She also remembered my famous or not-so-famous "finger" arrow that I hid in my coat during my weather presentations and pointed weather features and weather systems, "in the right direction." Storms are tough as Serena and I can attest to either snow storms or tropical storms
