“My role was to be on television and provide coverage and information, where the tornadoes were and that is where I was, on the weather wall that day tracking each storm,” he said.
Scott had only been in his current position in Tuscaloosa for about a year when the storms came in 2011.
“I graduated from Mississippi State from meteorology in 2010 and they don’t really train you to cover a violent tornado coming right at you. That is something you kind of just have to jump into,” he said. “That day, to be honest, was quite a scary day for a lot of us.”
