10 Things to Remember When a Tornado Strikes with Danielle Dozier

Mar 15, 2022

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.
