February 2023 Membership Luncheon

Meteorologist’s viewpoint: Lessons learned from Hurricanes Ian and Nicole and preparing for future weather events

Tom Terry has been the Chief Meteorologist at WFTV (Channel 9) for 20 years, coming to central Florida back in 1996 with a stint at WKMG. Prior to Orlando, Tom was the Chief Meteorologist at ABC in Beaumont, TX after starting his career in Corpus Christi, TX.

Hurricanes Charley, Frances, and Jeanne back in 2004 brought Tom to prominence at WFTV and over the many storms he’s covered – his phrase “hunker down,” and whether his sleeves are up or down – help to get us through bouts of severe weather.

Tom and his wife run the non-profit Forever Wishes which raises toys and money to support central Florida Toys for Tots. In 2022, their 9^th annual fundraising event brought in over $38,000; they have raised and donated over $200,000 in toys since 2014 to local children.

Registration closes Friday, February 10, 2023 at 3 pm or when capacity is reached.
