1
00:00:03,440 --> 00:00:06,320
Speaker 1: I spent one summer on Lake Michigan, where I got

2
00:00:06,360 --> 00:00:08,760
Speaker 1: to be in a home that had the view of

3
00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:10,520
Speaker 1: the lake. And if any of you have ever seen

4
00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:12,680
Speaker 1: Lake Michigan, it looks just like the ocean.

5
00:00:12,720 --> 00:00:14,320
Speaker 2: You can see forever and ever and ever.

6
00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:18,800
Speaker 3: And so that summer, not only did I see many thunderstorms.

7
00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:20,360
Speaker 2: But I also saw a waterspout.

8
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:24,079
Speaker 1: A waterspout is essentially a tornado over water, and it

9
00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:26,120
Speaker 1: was one of the most powerful images that an eight

10
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:27,840
Speaker 1: year old can probably ever see.

11
00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:34,320
Speaker 4: That's meteorologist Gingersey talking about her favorite subject, the fascinating

12
00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:38,479
Speaker 4: world of weather. Her job includes presenting the weather forecast

13
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:41,400
Speaker 4: on TV, and once in a while, she'll face some

14
00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:45,159
Speaker 4: of the planet's largest and most amazing storms. All of

15
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:51,680
Speaker 4: this to help us stay safe and informed. Welcome to

16
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:55,520
Speaker 4: Season three of Growing Up with Emily, a Lingo kids podcast.

17
00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:58,600
Speaker 4: It helps kids discover how to be whatever they want

18
00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:01,760
Speaker 4: to be. Join us on an epic adventure to uncover

19
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:05,919
Speaker 4: the secrets behind awesome skills, cool hobbies, and the incredible

20
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:09,840
Speaker 4: journeys of people who followed their dreams. End this episode,

21
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:13,280
Speaker 4: you better hold on to your rain boots because we're

22
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:17,840
Speaker 4: chasing tornadoes. We'll find out not only how cool weather

23
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:21,840
Speaker 4: science is, but also how it changes people's lives all

24
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:51,320
Speaker 4: over the world. Let's dive into the bold lives of meteorologists.

25
00:01:51,360 --> 00:02:01,280
Speaker 5: Maxie, what's wrong boy? Emily's picking me up any second now, Hi, Louise,

26
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 5: why do you have a raincoat on?

27
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:04,080
Speaker 6: Oh?

28
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 4: Not only a raincoat, Louise, got my boots and my

29
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 4: flower umbrella.

30
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:10,520
Speaker 5: But it's sonny outside.

31
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:15,080
Speaker 4: You're right, Louise, it's sunny now, but it'll probably be

32
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:17,720
Speaker 4: raining by the time we get to the studios. I

33
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:22,240
Speaker 4: know it sounds strange, but the weather forecast said it is.

34
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:23,920
Speaker 4: Everything okay with Maxie?

35
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:26,880
Speaker 5: He just keeps howling. I don't know what it is, Maxie?

36
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 5: What can I do? I gave you your bone, you

37
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 5: ate my homework? What else can I do?

38
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:37,200
Speaker 4: You know, Louise, animals can sense a storm coming. Really well,

39
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 4: that's what meteorologists say. Media, what meteorologists? The word's quite

40
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:46,400
Speaker 4: a mouthful, isn't it a little?

41
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 5: But I'll get it? And what is that again? Is

42
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:52,360
Speaker 5: this someone who loves meteorites like the ones that ended

43
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:53,160
Speaker 5: the dinosaurs?

44
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:58,040
Speaker 4: Ooh, well, not exactly. It's someone who studies why it rains,

45
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 4: why the sun is out why there there are white

46
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:04,920
Speaker 4: clouds or very angry gray clouds in the sky. But

47
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:09,960
Speaker 4: the word meteor actually means things in the sky, so

48
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 4: that's why it's called meteorologists.

49
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:17,080
Speaker 5: Oh wow, I love looking at the sky, Emily. Let's go.

50
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:21,359
Speaker 4: You should get your raincoat first. Luise, here, let's check

51
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:22,680
Speaker 4: the forecast on TV.

52
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 6: We've got sunshine now, but sunshine is the fuel for thunderstorms.

53
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 6: Those storms could have tornadoes later today, so keep an

54
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 6: eye out because all the ingredients are present.

55
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 5: Oh wow, how does she know about the storm?

56
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 4: You can ask her later.

57
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:41,040
Speaker 5: Wait what do you mean, Emily?

58
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 6: But no worries. After that all passes. We'll have some

59
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 6: clear skies and a great interview at the Lingo Kits

60
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 6: Grown Up Podcast.

61
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 5: No way is she are very special guests.

62
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 6: The forecast for that interview, some showers, some cool science,

63
00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 6: thunderous gray stories, and the ninety nine percent chance. No,

64
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:01,400
Speaker 6: I'll give it one hundred percent. That's fun game shows.

65
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 6: I'm ginger Z and this is your forecast.

66
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 4: See that's the one and only Gingers, a super famous meteor.

67
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 5: Wait wait, let me try a meteorologist.

68
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 4: Yes, exactly, you did it. She is a chief meteorologist

69
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:24,680
Speaker 4: at ABC Network. She's such an adventurer. She goes after

70
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:27,279
Speaker 4: the most roaring storms for her shows.

71
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 5: Wow, she sounds like a storm police. So brave she

72
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:31,800
Speaker 5: really is.

73
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 4: Ginger tracks all kinds of weather sparks, tornadoes, hurricanes, tropical storms,

74
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 4: you name it. And she has traveled to so many

75
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:43,560
Speaker 4: places around the world. I think we can learn from

76
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:46,800
Speaker 4: her about why the weather gets kind of crazy sometimes.

77
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:48,560
Speaker 5: Oh and then she can tell us what it's like

78
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 5: to chase storms. It must be like chasing a dragon,

79
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 5: but made of clouds. Without a sword. I guess yeah.

80
00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:59,719
Speaker 4: I'd say more a camera than a sword for sure.

81
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 5: Oops, there's that storm coming, Emily. Let me go grab

82
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:08,000
Speaker 5: my raincoat before we go. Why Maxie, don't let the

83
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:10,839
Speaker 5: storm get you off we go?

84
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:24,320
Speaker 4: Hello everybody, and welcome to today's Talk Get game show.

85
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 4: I hope the rain didn't keep you long from joining

86
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 4: us today. Today we're joined by the one and only

87
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:31,800
Speaker 4: ginger z Hi.

88
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:36,000
Speaker 1: Ginger Hi, there, I'm ginger z chief youerologists at ABC News.

89
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 4: So today we will start with our game show. I

90
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:41,880
Speaker 4: know Louise has something pretty cool ready for.

91
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 5: Us, Hi do Emily, So today's game's easy. It's called

92
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:49,520
Speaker 5: I Am Louise, And what's it about?

93
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 2: Louise?

94
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 5: I describe something and Ginger has to guess what it

95
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:55,080
Speaker 5: is before the bell rings. Heads up, it won't be

96
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:57,680
Speaker 5: about me, but it'll be about weather things that are

97
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:01,440
Speaker 5: pretty cool like me. You ready, Ginger, I'm ready?

98
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 2: All right.

99
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:06,080
Speaker 5: Number one, I am the air that moves around the planet.

100
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:09,680
Speaker 2: When am I? When?

101
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:16,359
Speaker 4: Bingo, Ginger, what's some cool science you can tell us

102
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:17,080
Speaker 4: about wind?

103
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:20,599
Speaker 1: I think the most exciting thing is that wind is

104
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:25,240
Speaker 1: present because our equator is hot and our poles are cold,

105
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:28,800
Speaker 1: and that difference in temperature is what the Earth very

106
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:31,640
Speaker 1: much wants to balance out but never will, and so

107
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:35,039
Speaker 1: it moves everything trying to get there, but it just

108
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:35,599
Speaker 1: won't happen.

109
00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:36,599
Speaker 2: So we'll still have wind.

110
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:39,599
Speaker 5: Oh so it's like a heater in a fridge getting

111
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:40,640
Speaker 5: into a boxing fight.

112
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:41,760
Speaker 4: Oh exactly.

113
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:46,080
Speaker 5: Okay. Number two, I am the water that falls from

114
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:47,480
Speaker 5: the sky. What am I.

115
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:52,760
Speaker 3: Raining?

116
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:55,480
Speaker 5: Correct? Again? Ah?

117
00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:58,160
Speaker 4: But there are tons of ways water can fall from

118
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:02,320
Speaker 4: the sky, right, Ginger. There's also snow and sleet.

119
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 1: Oh, there are so many types of water, you know,

120
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:10,200
Speaker 1: different phases of water, whether it's frozen semi frozen. There

121
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:13,280
Speaker 1: are different sizes of rain, drops, and then there's even

122
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 1: hail hail.

123
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:15,240
Speaker 5: What's that?

124
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 4: Basically ice falling from the skies epic.

125
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:22,520
Speaker 5: I think I've seen it happen when it's very sunny.

126
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:23,960
Speaker 5: Why is that ginger?

127
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:24,600
Speaker 6: Yeah?

128
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:26,800
Speaker 4: What's the science behind hail?

129
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:28,480
Speaker 2: Hail gets confused a lot.

130
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:31,400
Speaker 1: People will say, Oh, it was a beautiful summer day,

131
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:34,000
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden it hailed, And that's

132
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:37,280
Speaker 1: actually exactly when hail forms, because you need a lot

133
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 1: of heat and a lot of energy to create very

134
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:44,840
Speaker 1: tall thunderstorms that sustain these water droplets that eventually freeze

135
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:47,200
Speaker 1: and then melt and freeze and then melt, and as

136
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:49,760
Speaker 1: they refreeze, they keep getting bigger and bigger and bigger,

137
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:52,760
Speaker 1: like in accumulating snowball almost, but it's hard ice, and

138
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:55,200
Speaker 1: then when it gets too heavy, it falls as hail.

139
00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:57,920
Speaker 4: I love how water is something that's in front of

140
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 4: us all the time. We drink it, we use it

141
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:03,320
Speaker 4: to do the dishes, we even swim in it. But

142
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:04,680
Speaker 4: it's never boring.

143
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:08,600
Speaker 5: You're right, Emily, I guess science teaches us something new

144
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:13,120
Speaker 5: every day. Okay, on to the next question. I am

145
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:16,160
Speaker 5: tons of water floating through the sky. What am I.

146
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:18,880
Speaker 1: Fog?

147
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:24,080
Speaker 5: Oh? Cool. I have clouds, but fog is kind of

148
00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:24,880
Speaker 5: a cloud.

149
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:26,040
Speaker 2: Right, tog is a cloud.

150
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:30,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, I've dreamed of flying for the clouds. Is it

151
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 5: like connon candy?

152
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:34,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, that is something that my six year old son

153
00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:37,320
Speaker 1: recently asked me because he wanted to know what it

154
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:40,760
Speaker 1: would feel like to be in a cloud. And thankfully

155
00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:44,120
Speaker 1: I've had that experience paragliding. We were able to fly

156
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:46,200
Speaker 1: to a cloud base paragliding.

157
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:48,480
Speaker 5: Huh. We definitely want to hear.

158
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:50,280
Speaker 4: More of your stories about storms.

159
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:54,120
Speaker 1: I've been storm chasing where we've all been really close

160
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:57,600
Speaker 1: to a wall cloud coming down, and all of us

161
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:00,640
Speaker 1: have likely been in a cloud because we've touched, so

162
00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:01,880
Speaker 1: you do know what it feels like.

163
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:03,240
Speaker 2: It feels like wet air.

164
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:05,640
Speaker 5: Ginger, you nailed all the questions.

165
00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:07,959
Speaker 4: I told you we would learn a lot from Ginger.

166
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:11,880
Speaker 4: She is a chief meteorologist for a reason. Why don't

167
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:14,040
Speaker 4: we sit down and talk to her about her journey

168
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:15,200
Speaker 4: and weather science?

169
00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:16,200
Speaker 5: Of course?

170
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:23,559
Speaker 4: Okay, Ginger, I heard you are a storm lover. Tell

171
00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:24,160
Speaker 4: us about that.

172
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:27,520
Speaker 2: Well, this is a big part of my origin story.

173
00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:31,520
Speaker 1: But I find thunderstorms especially, but all types of storms

174
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:36,560
Speaker 1: to be incredibly inspiring. I spent one summer on Lake Michigan,

175
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:38,960
Speaker 1: where I got to be in a home that had

176
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:39,719
Speaker 1: the view.

177
00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:40,040
Speaker 2: Of the lake.

178
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:42,320
Speaker 4: Luis, Have you ever been to Lake Michigan?

179
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:43,760
Speaker 5: Nope? What's it like?

180
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:46,160
Speaker 2: Just like the ocean? You can see forever and ever

181
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:46,520
Speaker 2: and ever.

182
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:47,480
Speaker 5: Wow.

183
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:51,280
Speaker 3: And so that summer, not only did I see many thunderstorms,

184
00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:51,800
Speaker 3: but I.

185
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:56,200
Speaker 1: Also saw a waterspout. A waterspout is essentially a tornado

186
00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 1: over water. It was one of the most powerful images.

187
00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:01,120
Speaker 2: That an eight year old can probably we'll ever see.

188
00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:03,280
Speaker 5: Wow, I've never seen anything like it.

189
00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 4: And how did that eight year old girl in Lake

190
00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:09,559
Speaker 4: Michigan become a storm chaser and a broadcaster?

191
00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:10,160
Speaker 5: Ginger.

192
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:12,800
Speaker 1: There's a lot of places as a meteorologist you can

193
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:15,640
Speaker 1: kind of dive into and not just stay in forecasting.

194
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:17,839
Speaker 1: And that's actually a big part of why I was

195
00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:20,320
Speaker 1: attracted to it. I did not want to be in

196
00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:23,080
Speaker 1: broadcasting or television. That wasn't my initial intent.

197
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:25,839
Speaker 5: Oh you didn't want to be on TV, but you're

198
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:27,000
Speaker 5: so good at it.

199
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 1: I very much wanted to just be a storm chaser

200
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:32,400
Speaker 1: that did research on tornadoes. I very much knew I

201
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:34,080
Speaker 1: did not want to be one of those people on

202
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:36,240
Speaker 1: TV talking about it because I was very shy and

203
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:38,160
Speaker 1: I did not think that, which is so funny because

204
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:39,320
Speaker 1: that's exactly what I became.

205
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:42,760
Speaker 5: I feel shy too, Ginger, What did you do to

206
00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:45,000
Speaker 5: be on TV? Did you put on a bow tie?

207
00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:46,160
Speaker 5: Just like me and Emily?

208
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 1: So, while I was working, I would go in my

209
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:52,640
Speaker 1: free time take a class at a improv place or

210
00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:55,000
Speaker 1: a comedy store or a script you know, like a theater,

211
00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:57,560
Speaker 1: and I would take little voice classes to help me

212
00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:01,560
Speaker 1: learn how to be more of a projector and more

213
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:02,480
Speaker 1: of a storyteller.

214
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:03,200
Speaker 5: Cool.

215
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:06,640
Speaker 4: I can definitely relate to it because as an engineer,

216
00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:09,600
Speaker 4: I also had to learn how to tell stories with science.

217
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:11,880
Speaker 4: It's an atomic skill.

218
00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:16,719
Speaker 5: Ginger. Have you ever been inside an actual storm?

219
00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:18,960
Speaker 4: Yeah? And is it thrilling?

220
00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:22,640
Speaker 1: It's strange because, you know, when I've fell in love

221
00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:26,440
Speaker 1: with tornadoes, for example, tornadoes are much smaller they when

222
00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:28,720
Speaker 1: they are out in the field that they're hurting no one,

223
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:32,000
Speaker 1: you know, like usually in the planes when we.

224
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:33,520
Speaker 2: Would see them and we would study.

225
00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:36,000
Speaker 1: Them, they were just out there for us to study, really,

226
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:39,160
Speaker 1: and they would die before they would hit anybody or anything.

227
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:44,320
Speaker 2: So I found that part of nature thrilling.

228
00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:48,120
Speaker 4: Right, But I also imagine that watching the weather hurt

229
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:51,480
Speaker 4: people can be really tough. Sometimes that is.

230
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:56,080
Speaker 1: Terribly sad and terrifying. So in a hurricane, I don't

231
00:11:56,080 --> 00:12:00,479
Speaker 1: think it's ever thrill. I think it's I'm still fascinated

232
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:04,000
Speaker 1: by how it works, how each storm is so unique,

233
00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:06,480
Speaker 1: they all act differently, just like people.

234
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:11,400
Speaker 5: That sounds a little scary, Emily, Yeah, it can definitely

235
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:16,000
Speaker 5: be scary because storms are such well forces of nature.

236
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:20,160
Speaker 5: You know, in Ginger, you've seen your fair share of storms.

237
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:23,520
Speaker 5: What's the first big storm you covered on TV?

238
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:26,520
Speaker 1: My first big, big storm that I covered for a

239
00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:29,720
Speaker 1: lot of people was Hurricane Katrina the year two thousand

240
00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:33,040
Speaker 1: and five. It is one of those storms that is

241
00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:36,640
Speaker 1: just will go down in history and I got to

242
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:39,360
Speaker 1: not only see that, but then sit with the people

243
00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:42,960
Speaker 1: for a week after sifting through and seeing all of it.

244
00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:46,800
Speaker 4: And what did you learn about being a meteorologist when

245
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:47,959
Speaker 4: you covered that storm?

246
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:50,240
Speaker 3: I realized this isn't about science.

247
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:52,600
Speaker 2: This is about comepassion, not just passion.

248
00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:55,200
Speaker 1: It's about where those two things come together. And that's

249
00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:57,560
Speaker 1: going to be my job of telling these people's stories

250
00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:00,920
Speaker 1: and then making sure that this never happened. And that's

251
00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:03,680
Speaker 1: when I knew I had chosen the right path because

252
00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:06,720
Speaker 1: I thought I can make a difference here. We can

253
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:08,960
Speaker 1: get this information to people that need it.

254
00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:13,000
Speaker 4: Oh, that's such an important lesson to remember. Weather isn't

255
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:15,920
Speaker 4: only about what happens up in the sky and in nature.

256
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:19,959
Speaker 4: Weather is about what happens to people too. It can

257
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:23,320
Speaker 4: be scary sometimes, but the more we study it, the

258
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:25,880
Speaker 4: better we can get at staying safe.

259
00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:30,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, that makes me feel better. Oh wait, Emily, speaking

260
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:33,800
Speaker 5: of keeping everyone safe, I always forgot another question, I

261
00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:37,319
Speaker 5: add Ginger. Is it true that dogs can feel when

262
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:38,199
Speaker 5: a storm is coming?

263
00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:39,120
Speaker 2: No question.

264
00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:42,640
Speaker 1: I have a dog, a rescue and this dog, since

265
00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:45,480
Speaker 1: he was a puppy, has had such instinct. Not only

266
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:48,480
Speaker 1: is he fearful, but he goes to the lowest level

267
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:52,240
Speaker 1: of our home, inside the interior basement, away from windows.

268
00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:55,600
Speaker 1: He does everything we tell people to do naturally, so

269
00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:57,240
Speaker 1: he instinctively.

270
00:13:56,640 --> 00:13:58,079
Speaker 2: Knows how to save his own life.

271
00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:00,880
Speaker 3: He also then shakes like a baby.

272
00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:04,240
Speaker 5: Oh wow, MAXI does the same things. Well, maybe a

273
00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:06,880
Speaker 5: little bit more of the shaking, but he's a very

274
00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:07,320
Speaker 5: good boy.

275
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:10,640
Speaker 4: Well, now you know you can check in with Maxy

276
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:14,040
Speaker 4: and the forecast before going out. Louise, you got it,

277
00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:17,680
Speaker 4: ginger Your work is amazing. Thank you so much for

278
00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:20,880
Speaker 4: talking to us today. We had a blast learning about

279
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:24,280
Speaker 4: the weather with you. Please give a round of applause

280
00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:31,080
Speaker 4: for ginger Z. So, Louise, are you ready for our

281
00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:36,840
Speaker 4: next science stop. We're going to the state of Oklahoma, Oklahoma.

282
00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:39,920
Speaker 5: How are we getting there? Let me search on your phone.

283
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:40,600
Speaker 2: Here you go.

284
00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:45,760
Speaker 5: It's a very long drive there, Emily, like nineteen whole hours.

285
00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:48,640
Speaker 4: But we're going from the west coast, so we'll have

286
00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:49,720
Speaker 4: the winds at our back.

287
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:52,560
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, Emily, maybe there's something from the Go Forward

288
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:54,680
Speaker 5: Lab that can help us get there even faster.

289
00:14:55,240 --> 00:15:00,080
Speaker 4: You're right, Louise, we can use the portal map. So

290
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:03,440
Speaker 4: what now, It's a magical map that can take you

291
00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:05,560
Speaker 4: anywhere anywhere.

292
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:06,840
Speaker 5: Let's try it.

293
00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:14,080
Speaker 4: Okay, So Oklahoma is right here, ready to point it out?

294
00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:14,680
Speaker 5: Ready?

295
00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:24,520
Speaker 4: One? Two, three?

296
00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:26,160
Speaker 5: We're are re, Emily.

297
00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:30,520
Speaker 4: We're in the plains of Oklahoma in the United States,

298
00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:33,480
Speaker 4: and we're about to see a tornado.

299
00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:36,640
Speaker 5: What do you mean. There's just a few clouds over there,

300
00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:39,480
Speaker 5: but the sun is out and we can see the sky.

301
00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:40,560
Speaker 6: Mm hmm.

302
00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:45,160
Speaker 4: But remember, Louise, we can also get storms and tornadoes

303
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:48,720
Speaker 4: on a sunny day. In fact, the best conditions for

304
00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:51,040
Speaker 4: a tornado is warm, humid air.

305
00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:55,040
Speaker 5: I remember our science teacher said something about how tornadoes form.

306
00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:58,120
Speaker 5: She said something about warm air and cool air mixing

307
00:15:58,200 --> 00:15:59,120
Speaker 5: and spinning around.

308
00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:03,320
Speaker 4: Yes, exactly. In fact, look we can start to see

309
00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:04,280
Speaker 4: it right now.

310
00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:09,000
Speaker 5: Oh, it's suddenly starting to get very dark.

311
00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:14,560
Speaker 4: It is now, luis quick science question. What direction does

312
00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:19,880
Speaker 4: warm air go up? Exactly. Warm air is less dense

313
00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:23,480
Speaker 4: than regular air, so it rises. And as the warm

314
00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:26,680
Speaker 4: air on the ground rises, it starts to mix with

315
00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:30,080
Speaker 4: the cooler air up in the sky. And because it's

316
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:33,160
Speaker 4: moving at a different speed and direction than the air

317
00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:37,720
Speaker 4: up there, they start to spin and spin and spin.

318
00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:40,800
Speaker 4: After a little bit of time, we get this kind

319
00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:46,560
Speaker 4: of upside down cone cloud, which is called a funnel cloud. Look,

320
00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:48,720
Speaker 4: we can start to see it for now.

321
00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:52,080
Speaker 5: Only the funnel cloud is starting to grow. What should

322
00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:52,760
Speaker 5: we do.

323
00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:56,240
Speaker 4: Don't worry. Don't worry. It's still very far away from us.

324
00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:59,600
Speaker 4: We'll be fine. But remember the best place to take

325
00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:02,800
Speaker 4: shelter during tornadoes is in a basement.

326
00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:06,000
Speaker 5: Oh, look, it's starting to fade away.

327
00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:09,440
Speaker 4: Yeah. Tornadoes usually only last a few minutes or so,

328
00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:12,160
Speaker 4: and when they're in an open field like this, they

329
00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:19,920
Speaker 4: don't really hurt anyone, so it's all good. So, Louise,
