Tony Hake's fascination with weather started as a sixth-grader, when an F2 tornado struck Thornton, Colorado, about 4 miles from his house - a twister that is still considered the worst ever to hit the Denver metro area. Out of that storm Tony's interest in weather, especially severe weather, grew. Now he is a true weather geek, an amateur meteorologist, trained Skywarn storm spotter and runs a highly successful local weather website. You can contact Tony at tony@exweather.com.
