Jaclyn Whittal has lived a few different lives. From growing up in Amherstburg to becoming a theatre actress and rock star to becoming a meteorologist with The Weather Network and storm chaser with a hit show Storm Hunters on Amazon Prime, she has one unique journey.

Jaclyn Whittal is the kind of woman we love on this podcast: she is brave, fearless and she says 'Yes' to almost every opportunity that comes her way in life. This approach has led her down a winding career path involving Shania Twain and a role as Sandy in the German version of Grease, to her current work in television, where she can be found daily on the Weather Network in North America as a meteorologist, and on Amazon Prime as part of the team presenting Storm Hunters, a show telling the stories of storm chasers in North America. Yes, you read that right - like Helen Hunt in Twister (iconic 90's movie) - Jaclyn is a storm chaser, and spends her time following tornados, hurricanes and other severe weather systems. But Jaclyn started her professional life as a singer and musician, performing in large musical theatre productions, writing music and releasing two rock albums, but when nearing the age of 30, decided there was something more out there for her. As a self-confessed "weather nerd" who was keen on a career in the media, she enrolled in a part-time Masters in meteorology and her career has sky-rocketed from there. Jaclyn believes, she says, that everyone has three good careers in them. First musician, then storm chaser...listen in to see what she thinks could be next!

Weather’s Believe It Or Not has some crazy weather stories that are hard to believe Who will be our next guest? Out Guest Jim Williams, Creator of HurricaneCity.com Jim Williams created HurricaneCity in 1997. One reason for the name HurricaneCity are the predictions made at the beginning of each hurricane season for the top cities & Islands that Jim thinks are at high risk based on a simple mathematical formula. Since Jim started making city predictions in 2003 he has nailed at least 4 to 6 cities out of 20 each year that ended up getting hit. Jim runs a paving business in South Florida since 1987 and tracks hurricanes with statistical input as a hobby since the late 1970s, and holds no meteorology degree.
