It’s often said that if you don’t like our Alabama weather, just wait a few hours and we’ll have it changed. Our winter weather is notoriously unpredictable. One day, you’re inside hiding from the rain and the next day is filled with sunshine.

 

In this episode, I’m speaking with Danielle Dozier, Chief Meteorologist at the WHNT News 19 station. After covering the weather in four states across the Midwest and Northeast, Danielle came to the Tennessee Valley in October of 2021.

 

From tornadoes to hurricanes and blizzards, Danielle has seen it all. Today she’s joined us to talk about must-know severe weather safety, including how we should talk about storms with our kids, what type of plan to have it place, and when to tune into the local meteorologists.

 

We covered:

• Why North Alabama typically gets more severe weather from March to May
• How to create a tornado emergency plan for home (even if you live in an apartment)
• 10 tornado safety tips that could save your life and protect your kids
• The positive impact of social media on broadcasting weather updates
• The special sport that Danielle has been participating in since age 5
