... the Weather Channel's Jim Cantore arrives in your town; you know he hasn't come to report on the Dogwood Festival or a sunny calm boring day at a lemonade stand. Cantore blows into town like a storm so that he can cover a storm.
I pretty well stalked Cantore on Tuesday to seek an interview. A friend posted on her Facebook account that she thought he was on Jefferson. I drove down Jefferson, didn't find him and then asked a co-worker to "get me a location" from the Weather Channel. I went down Fountain Avenue to turn around and found him and his crew.
Cantore is a no-nonsense kind of weathercaster. He began explaining minute meteorological details to me that I simply couldn't get into the story.
He's also very nice and able to roll with whatever the situation throws at him. A kid ran behind him, and he incorporated her run behind him into his live report. He didn't even seem ruffled, quite a feat in live television. But remember this is the guy who has stood out in the worst of hurricanes and reported all the details.
