Meet the Storm Team

Three professionals. Technically.

Terre Haute weather requires experience, judgment, and at least one person willing to keep Skip away from moving water.

Polished, prepared, and increasingly concerned about what Skip is doing outside.

“Please just read the forecast, Skip.”

Keeps Skip in frame, drives the van, and has somehow not resigned.
