Peter Yip Biography :

Susan is not ashamed when others call her a "weather nerd" or "weather geek". As a meteorologist, she considers it a compliment!

Susan's obsession with weather began as a child and she credits her older sister for the first interest. As a Missouri native, Susan was often forced into the basement by her older sister when severe weather was a threat. There is one vivid memory that stands out during a tornado warning. As usual Susan was in the basement with her older sister listening to the radio, "I escaped from her and ran outside. My curiosity was too intense and I needed to see things for myself. Once I made it out of the door, I remember the green sky and the eerie stillness." She was then forever hooked on the mystery of weather.

Susan's first job as a meteorologist was in Amarillo -- prime storm chasing territory, which was exactly what she was looking for. Working at KVII-TV as the morning meteorologist, she had the afternoons free to storm chase which was also part of her job duties. Susan has been storm chasing all over the Texas panhandle, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Kansas. Next, she joined the staff at Bay News 9 in Tampa, Florida as an evening and weekend meteorologist where she worked for three years. The job came with a new challenge -- a Missouri girl learning tropical weather and hurricane forecasting. Florida was an adventure, but Texas was calling Susan back. "I missed Texas, and I missed Texas weather! I would even get teary-eyed watching storm chasing documentaries on tv...don't make fun of me!" Now she's back and ready to stay put.

Susan's biggest career highlight so far is covering the May 3, 1999 tornado outbreak in central Oklahoma. She was sent to Moore, Oklahoma to report among the masses. "It was a very emotional and humbling experience." Helping to guiding Tampa Bay through Tropical Storm Gordon in 2000 and Tropical Storm Gabrielle in 2001 also rank high on the highlight list. Susan also holds the Seal of Approval from the American Meteorological Society.

Susan's first priority is staying in touch with her family and friends. After that her biggest interest is severe weather and storm chasing -- naturally! She is also a big shopping fan, but would rather shop on rainy days and spend the nicer ones outdoors.
