Clear Skies Ahead: Conversations about Careers in Meteorology and Beyond
We talk to Carl Schrek, a Research Scholar with the North Carolina Institute for Climate Studies at North Carolina State University, about experiencing the power of Hurricane Fran firsthand, how the extreme weather event led him into researching tropical meteorology, and the critical importance of math and computer programming skills in his field.

Hurricane Fran was the last major hurricane (Cat 3+) to make landfall along the east coast in September 1996. Take a look back at the history of events and the impacts to Virginia including tropical storm-force winds and some of the highest river crests in history for some area rivers.Hurricane Fran: A look back
Episode 5 of The Throwback sets the time machine to September, 1996. While most of the southeastern United States (including Chapel Hill) was buried under downed limbs and a loss of power due to Hurricane Fran's destruction, Mack Brown was taking a solid defense and a new QB to face a top-10 opponent. Joey Powell first brings on Inside Carolina's Tommy Ashley and local radio vet Chris Morris to get their takes on UNC's huge win on the national stage, and then Powell speaks with UNC QB Chris Keldorf to hear his thoughts on being a key figure in that historical moment.

The Land of Ten's Scott Dochterman and I tried to talk sanely about the handshake thing. Do you want to know why national media people will run with this? 1) Fran McCaffery has a reputation for hotheaded antics. He just does. Admit it. So, national media people will fill 15 minutes of whatever blah, blah, blah show and that will be that. It's up to you how you deal with that 15 minutes. The majority of you are probably cool with McCaffery. And why not? He's elevated what was a horrible, smoldering crater (the arena is literally a crater) of a program. Has he reached the Sweet 16? No. Can he? Yes. Will he? Remains to be seen and the new reality of what Iowa basketball is a whole other podcast/blop post (yes, "blop" post). The majority of you see what McCaffery has built and you're going to have his back. You see a lineup that might soon be filled with four freshmen and, hey, you're excited for the possibilities. And why not? Those of you who follow Iowa basketball closely know that the eye of most of McCaffery's hurricane moments has been his fierce protective nature for his players. Stugotz and the national media people don't know that. They're going to throw McCaffery into the stove to steam the train down the tracks for 15 minutes. For me as a sprotswriter and blop poster, whatever kills a day, man. This killed a day. Tomorrow the question will be the odd man out in the lineup when Tyler Cook returns. Cordell Pemsl? Maybe. Ahmad Wagner? Probably. The minority opinion falls along the lines of sportsmanship. The counter to that is emotion. Do you really want Hurricane Fran going through a handshake line in category 4? You don't. I once killed a day writing about football coaching handshakes. Here's that post: http://www.thegazette.com/2013/10/31/the-ritual-of-the-postgame-handshake Here's the best quote, from former Penn State coach Bill O'Brien: "With all due respect to your question, I think we're talking about a lot of nothing right here." Next. -- How fired is Minnesota coach Tracy Claeys? Pretty fired or just fired fired? -- Coaches swear during games and Santa isn't real. We move on. -- Great hoops question from Laura. Well done. -- Bob Stoops and Joe Mixon. Yes, that changed my perception of Stoops. -- Over/under on Iowa football coaching staff changes for 2017? -- Favorite Christmas gifts? Scott's had to do with football. Mine was an actual football. Surprise! -- Buckeye Fitzy gave us a pretty good over/under on Big Ten bowl victories. You'll have to listen to that one. -- Players skipping bowl games? It's dollars vs. sentiment. For me, sentiment can step off. -- From Jerry: How does Iowa get to where Wisconsin is in football? Really great question. Personal note: This has been a hugely difficult fall for me. Scott's been the best. I think he was just being generous with me on today's Bears-Packers discussion. (Seriously, it's nice to know someone has my back.)
