Sunshine is delicious, rain is refreshing, wind braces us up, snow is exhilarating; there is really no such thing as bad weather, only different kinds of good weather. ~John Ruskin

John Hope

John Hope was born on May 14th, 1919. He was considered as one of the best hurricane forecasters of all times. He was given the title of 'Mr. Hurricane' as his forecasts for hurricanes were very rarely proved wrong. He had a great passion for weather. He was very fascinated by the strong winds and got very much interested in hurricanes,tornadoes and other severe weather  phenomenons. He was a great guy. He cared about the safety of the people. During emergencies he would work tirelessly at the radio station to make the people aware of the upcoming tornadoes danger and advise people to take shelter in their basement or closet to remain protected. He started his career as a forecaster at the National Weather Service in Memphis, Tennesse and after serving the NWS for over 13 years, he joined the Weather channel in 1982. At the weather channel he gained reputation as he looked very confident and impressive on the air. He became a very importnant part of the Weather channel during the Hurricane season. He died on June 13th, 2002 when he was still working for the Weather Channel. It was a great loss for the Weather channel as they had lost one of the best hurricane forecasters of all times. He is considered a legend in the field of forecasting.
