I've been a broadcast meteorologist on television since the early 1990's. Happy to answer any questions about the weather or local TV news. Yes, I often wear sneakers on set just out of view of the camera.
I would say you are NOT crazy! Best guess on what you saw is "ball lightning". Here is some material for you: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ball_lightning

Well...interesting question. I'm going to say mostly perception since any number of folks have said the same thing about their town. I suppose you would have to go back and plot historical rainfall data to see if there really was a "hole" in coverage over the city. Cool question, thanks!

Great question, Emily. Tornadoes are a part of the parent thunderstorm that moves and develops with the environmental winds and available moisture. The ones you saw were likely in an area of weak steering currents. Thanks

Hi, Frank. The general idea during an El Nino winter is that much of the southern half of the country would be wetter than average, and that is the forecast for this winter. All of the cities you mention are in that zone. You might spend some time at the Climate Prediction Center website, http://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/
Good luck, hit 'em straight!

Hi, Rob. I think, one day, most certainly, yes. Many would argue that we already have via global warming/climate change. I haven't picked a side on that issue, but we will certainly contine to do things to try and affect the weather. Experiments have been proposed to stop tornadoes in their path, and reduce the strength of hurricanes before landfall. We will need to be careful, weather is part of a planetary system and fooling around with that system could have unintended consequences. Great question, thanks!

Hi Izzy-Happy to look at the picture of you post it someplace. The dewpoint doesn't really follow the temperature. It is a measure of the amount of moisture (water vapor) in the air. The colder the air gets the drier it so the dewpoint goes down. Warmer air can hold more water vapor so the dewpoint can rise. Great question, thanks.

Won't have time to answer on your timeframe. You might try some web searches like, "what does a television meteorologist do?". Good luck!
