This episode of WeatherBrains features a world-famous hurricane chaser known as iCyclone.  Josh Morgerman is the world's top hurricane chaser.  To date, he's penetrated the inner cores of 74 hurricanes and typhoons on the ground... a world record.  When he's not prowling the globe for cyclones, appearing on TV, promoting products, or spreading the gospel of hurricane preparedness, he lives a quiet life in Bay Saint Louis, Mississippi - one block from the Gulf of Mexico, in his specially designed and fortified "Hurricane House".  Josh, it's great to you have on the show with us tonight!  

Guest Panelist tonight is renowned storm chaser, entrepreneur and meteorologist Brett Adair.  It's great to have you on the show tonight, Brett.
