Meteorologist Paul Douglas will be giving the keynote address at the 2013 Senior Expo this May, no matter what the forecast is that day.

507-386-7077

By Sara Gilbert Frederick

Monday and Tuesdays

Paul Douglas was 14 years old when Tropical Storm Agnes and the rains from that storm flooded his family’s home in Lancaster County, forcing them out of the house. One of the fatalities occurred in the stream that ran just behind their home. “It was pretty traumatic,” Douglas says.

But Douglas credits that storm, along with his Boy Scout weather merit badge and a couple of excellent junior high teachers, for sparking an interest in meteorology that became the foundation for his future career—and that will undoubtedly be part of his talk at the Senior Expo in Mankato this spring. “I’ll absolutely work weather into my talk,” laughs Douglas, who was a meteorologist at KARE-TV from 1983 until 1994,

and at WCCO-TV from 1997 until 2008. “I see weather as a metaphor for life and for business.” Douglas says that many of his colleagues in meteorology share storm stories that are similar to his experience with Agnes. “Most people you see on TV as meteorologists were traumatized by something weather-related as kids,” he says. “That’s when they started tracking the weather and wanting to learn more.”

Learning more helps them understand what might happen when. They study mathematical formulas that describe how the Earth’s atmosphere is supposed to work in a perfect world. They learn the latest technology and work with sophisticated tools to help predict patterns better. But even when armed with all of that knowledge and know-how, Douglas says that there is still an element of fear associated with storms and severe weather. “You always have a healthy fear of it,” he says. “If the fear goes away, that’s not a good thing. In fact, the older I get, the more respect I have for Mother Nature.” He isn’t at all surprised that people are often eager to talk to him—and to each other—about the

the weather, especially in Minnesota. For one thing, it’s a topic that always seems to be on our minds in a state that Douglas describes as “the Super Bowl of weather” because it has so many extremes. And unlike politics or religion, it’s a safe, comfortable topic for most people as well. “It’s the great equalizer,” he says. “Weather is very democratic; that’s why I love it. The one percent is just as impacted by it as the rest of it. Weather is very American that way—everyone is equally impacted by it.”
