You know a storm is going to be bad, people in Oklahoma will tell you, when Gary England removes his jacket, reports Sam Anderson in the New York Times.I had heard stories about the special powers of Gary England, Tornado Alley’s most famous weatherman: how he had tracked storms, back in the day, from a tiny attic office with a primitive radar repurposed from the nose of an airplane; how he had comforted, through the television screen, children who had been left alone in storms. As a nonresident of Oklahoma, however, I had never actually seen England’s powers in action. This changed during my first few minutes at the Channel 9 Weather Center.
