My name is Rudie Verougstraete. I moved to Virginia in 1995 from California with my family, and it was shortly after we moved here that I got hooked on weather. The next year, I saw snow for the first time, as well as these things they call thunderstorms! I am mostly self-taught, having immersed myself in reading books and watching movies, doing some minor storm chasing, and taking Skywarn spotter training clbuttes at the National Weather Service. A few years ago I decided to get into forecasting as a hobby and started a blog (which is now being merged with a new website I'm working on - weatherhub.weebly.com) to help people get good information on our local weather.
