Players Circle hosts hurricane seminar
By CHUCK BALLARO - | Jun 25, 2021
Chief Meteorologist John Patrick, ABC-7, was the lead speaker at the hurricane seminar held Wednesday.
Watching a hurricane seminar on YouTube or on Zoom isn’t quite the same as experiencing one in person.
Last year, Zoom seminars was the only way people could learn how to prepare for a hurricane because of the COVID pandemic.
On Wednesday, in a full Players Circle Theater, local residents could take in a live hurricane seminar, featuring experts in the field and local dignitaries.
Jody Van Cooney, as she has for many years, served as the moderator for the event. She brought up keynote speaker John Patrick, chief meteorologist for ABC-7, who discussed how global warming has made hurricanes more commonplace.
