This is what leadership looks like. He's concerned with the people in his immediate reach, and continues to deliver information to the community outside the station, only thinking about his own personal safety last...and never missing a beat, as if he rehearsed this reaction that very morning. Amazing job
Well Ryan sounds like you've been listening to some Leadership With Mike. 😂 but honestly the weather guy was not expressing Leadership skills he like most would lead themselves into shelter if idk a freaking tornado was going to hit the Weather Radar building. Anyways yes we do better Leadership in the world.
I would call it leadership. Leadership is, after all, doing the right thing and setting the example. We often tend to think of leadership in terms of extraordinary when in fact it can (and should) be ordinary.
Golly, wish I knew what state this was in---it IS the U.S., right? Whatever happened to who what when where how reporting---not criticizing the team on the video but whoever posted it.
Shut up b!tch! That could have dropped a tornado at any given time. It had already done so previously southwest of Athens. And then it produced the Henagar EF3. Another internet badass.
“Coverage You Can Count On” is so accurate, they will continue to deliver crucial weather information and warnings through a tornado. He stayed calm, repeating information several times so people knew clearly what was happening where and what to do about it without risking panic, all the while making the call to ensure the safety of his team at the broadcasting station. Professionalism at its finest.
It’s interesting to me for a top notch “news anchor” the most coveted jobs would be in big markets like New York or LA or Chicago. For top tier television meteorologists, it’s Oklahoma, Alabama, Arkansas, Kansas, etc.
Set a good example. A couple of years ago a tornado went right over the top of the National Storm Prediction Center in OK. All they could do was sound a second alarm & dive under their desks.
You can briefly see the switch. When he goes from reporting on the green screen to verifying on the laptop. Stayed professional & calnm the entire time, but it was great seeing that little switch flip, like he saw something, and verified before taking charge in the studio as well.
Dude kept his cool and took care of his coworkers. I would've been like "RUUUUUUNNN" Which is why I'm not a weatherman 😂😂😂 I'd be having a breakdown on the air
thats sooo wierd. i literally was watching a live chaser earlier and was remembering the twc coverage during joplin and thought to myself. i wonder if any of these forecasters have to shelter while forecasting a twister hitting them. well. that got answered didnt it…. hope u r all ok.
i wanted the camera to pan to him and the crew, hiding under the tiniest school desks right off-screen. This kind of info can save lives in real time. Nicely done.
Man, Huntsville is cursed. My cousin’s wife’s family barely survived the 1989 tornado and it seems like Tanner, Harvest, Hazel Green, or the rest of north Huntsville is always getting hit.
It gets a lot or close to it. I lived in the very hilly area just south of Birmingham where at least normally tornados have a harder time being severe but from the city proper all the way north to the Tennessee boarder if you look at historic data it’s a wide area of a lot of tornados including Huntsville.
@JPDrums1990 Well, Huntsville may not get that much severe weather often but when it does, Mother Nature has “Saved Up”. I grew up just SW of Cullman, so I know about being cursed.
There is no such thing as a tornado hotspot. A given address in Tornado Alley may go decades or even centuries without a strong tornado passing directly over it. Believe it or not, there are homes and buildings and even massive trees in the heart of Tornado Alley that are still standing because they have never taken a direct hit by even a weak tornado.
Logical people listen to experts. His knowledge, training, and experience gave him the POWER. His co-workers weren't dumb enough to decide to risk their life to flex that they won't be told what to do.

Any good boss has already practiced what to do in such a situation.

The towns of Hunstville and Moontown are in Alabama
Drama queen...🙄
Let's leave your dad out of it.
Shut up b!tch! That could have dropped a tornado at any given time. It had already done so previously southwest of Athens. And then it produced the Henagar EF3.
Another internet badass.
He was so professional and calm through this. So impressive
Were you expecting him to scream for no reason ?
@@zeekot4064 no but it was a panic situation possibility that other meteorologists may have less calm about. Don’t be an ass
Professional. Good reporting. Glad to see local news meteorologist stepping it up.
Only thing worse than a tornado is a night tornado. Terrifying

What a great example to set. No matter how important your job is, safety comes first.
man i was watching this live on Ryan Hall y’all. couldnt find any evidence to back up what i saw until here
Ryan Hall is my meteorologist. Has saved many lives. Plus the non profit that directly goes to disaster survivors, he does Kentucky proud.
Meant to say he was my favorite meteorologist. Sorry. No edit button.
@@garylefevers Honestly your first statement sounds better!
He gets about as nervous as a bag of Portland concrete. Very professional. Good job sir!

Okc meteorologists are considered heros
Was our CM here in north Louisiana for years. Jeff is good as it gets. You are lucky to have him.
Set a good example. A couple of years ago a tornado went right over the top of the National Storm Prediction Center in OK. All they could do was sound a second alarm & dive under their desks.
There's no way I would have been this calm.
Good call Jeff ! Thanks for your professionalism during an emergency.
Wow! If he gets shook ya sure can't see or hear it! What an absolutely professional job!! Mr. Castle, I'm impressed!
You can briefly see the switch. When he goes from reporting on the green screen to verifying on the laptop.
Stayed professional & calnm the entire time, but it was great seeing that little switch flip, like he saw something, and verified before taking charge in the studio as well.
We miss seeing you on KSLA. They’re lucky to have you in Alabama.
His voice was so calming. Great job!
Jeff Castle was the chief meteorologist in Shreveport at Channel 12, he is phenomenal in these situations. Y'all are lucky he landed in your area. 💗
Dude kept his cool and took care of his coworkers. I would've been like
"RUUUUUUNNN"
Which is why I'm not a weatherman 😂😂😂 I'd be having a breakdown on the air
And that's why emergency drills are important - you need to have practiced doing what you'll need to do *before* the emergency.
We miss Jeff Castle here in Louisiana 😢
What a Professional, keeping his calm.
thats sooo wierd. i literally was watching a live chaser earlier and was remembering the twc coverage during joplin and thought to myself. i wonder if any of these forecasters have to shelter while forecasting a twister hitting them. well. that got answered didnt it…. hope u r all ok.
Be safe Jeff!!
What a professional
Dang right on the set as they was reporting
This is scary.
🙏🏽🙏🏽 praying for everybody safety
Be safe guys!!
i wanted the camera to pan to him and the crew, hiding under the tiniest school desks right off-screen.

Those of us who’ve been here awhile know where the local tornado alleys are. Right where the rental properties are being built!
@JPDrums1990 Well, Huntsville may not get that much severe weather often but when it does, Mother Nature has “Saved Up”.
I grew up just SW of Cullman, so I know about being cursed.
What state ? I am watching in California. Also which way is the storm traveling?
Alabama
This was in northern Alabama going East
Great coverage ! Thank you for what you do !
I think this is Alabama
😂😂😂😂 God hates Alabama
Thumbs up👍. Am watching this video from New Zealand.
most meteorologist's are unsung heroes
New normal
I’m so curious about what their “taking shelter” looks like.
No WAAY!
All you would've had to do is grab a camera and head outside. Cameraman never dies right? 🤷
WOW!
Why don’t the news and weather crews in tornado hotspots just have their studios permanently set up inside a safe shelter/bunker 🤷♀️
There is no such thing as a tornado hotspot. A given address in Tornado Alley may go decades or even centuries without a strong tornado passing directly over it. Believe it or not, there are homes and buildings and even massive trees in the heart of Tornado Alley that are still standing because they have never taken a direct hit by even a weak tornado.
Monte sano Mountain where they are located definitely is not a hotspot
Bravo, great job keeping your viewers up to date and safe! Kudos!
It's like Joplin all over again 😮
Evan fryberger was there
what state
Is that in his contract?
Amazing!
😮
What state?
Huntsville, Alabama.
No wayyyyy.
You need to remove the stations banner as it blocks view of the map at the top.
It's must be sweep's week
and…..the end result….did anything happen besides the power flickering?
Ah you're one of those tough guy folks. 🖕 you
Who gave him the power to ORDER the evacuation????
I guess WAAY Channel 31.
Logical people listen to experts. His knowledge, training, and experience gave him the POWER. His co-workers weren't dumb enough to decide to risk their life to flex that they won't be told what to do.
Logical people and experts, unlike you. Imagine watching this video and your first concern is this guy's authority to get his coworkers to safety.
Really? That’s your concern? If a meteorologist tells me to seek shelter, I am seeking shelter!
The same authority as the person who’s trying to disarm a bomb and tells you to RUN…
Run!!!
