There will only ever be one Gary England - an Oklahoman through through. He was one of a kind and the impact he had on our state, meteorology and severe weather prediction and tracking will be felt for years and years to come.
Thoughts and prayers w his family tonight. #okwx

- Jaden, shoot me an email. [email protected]Hi Twitter, I need your help; with graduation rapidly approaching, Iโm looking to enter an internship with a news studio or weather center in or around the Oklahoma City area.

00:00 - UNCLE! For the first time in over a week I am home in the evening with my family. The last few weeks and especially this week the weather has put up a big fight. Floods, tornadoes, hail, wind etc., we have been hammered but not beaten. We Okies are pretty dang tough!
00:00- Completely not true. Iโve issued countless severe and tornado warnings over my career. Issued my own tornado warning yesterday for part of Ellis county. Why? I had a two tornadoes on the ground live. No warning from the NWS. My #1 job is keeping people safe in Oklahoma.Remember friends: only @NWSNorman can issue official tornado warnings, not @tornadopayne nor @NEWS9, no matter how many fancy, expensive toys they have. #OKWx
