My professional life, in a strange way, has always been going up, up, up, while my personal life was just the complete opposite.
If someone hurts me on social media, I want to tell them that they've hurt me. I believe you should say what you're feeling.

When I reply, maybe I'm reminding them that there's a deeper meaning to what they're doing.
Making it to the finale of 'Dancing with the Stars' has been a major accomplishment.
Meteorologists don't use a script, and most create their own graphics and certainly put together their own forecasts. Most of us went to school to become scientists - at least I did - and studied thermodynamics, physics, and tons of calculus to take this young science to the next level. Our accuracy is amazing and will only continue to improve.
It's fun being pregnant at the same time as someone as prominent as Kim Kardashian. Seeing her beautiful body change and morph makes me remember mine is doing the same, and although it may not always feel beautiful, it really is.
I always had becoming a meteorologist as my goal from the second I decided, while I was in school, just to study meteorology.
No matter the natural disaster I've covered, whether it's a wildfire or flood, I always come back with a much greater perspective.
I actually think the last time I stood with a race medal around my neck was after an eighth grade cross-country meet. I was gawky and 65 pounds soaking wet, and running 10 miles a day was no big deal.
I hope weather coverage on a national level will help folks learn to respect the power of severe weather, and weather in general, so more lives are spared.
The eye of the hurricane forms as air rotates up and out of the hurricane and some of the air that's being spun out of the top of the storm sinks back into the center. This keeps the eye of the storm relatively calm and clear.
Immediately surrounding the tranquil eye is the most violent part of the hurricane: the eye wall. The most intense wind speeds at the surface are found there.
