June First Podcast: Recent Episodes
June First Podcast
The June First podcast is hosted by Ethan Moriarty, a mechanical engineer involved in the research of severe weather. He's bringing on people of the weather community to talk about storm chasing, research, and anything when it comes to the severe weather that affects us all.
Ethan and Connor are on the road west! They talk about expectations for the trip, things they’d like to achieve out in the Plains, and the future goals of June First.
This is an in-depth look into the story of the Parkersburg, IA EF5 Tornado, which took place on May 25th, 2008. This tornado was on the ground of over 40 miles and devastated the communities of Parkersburg and New Hartford. However, against all odds, the story of Parkersburg is one of rebirth.
