MIKE SCANTLIN (as himself - The Meteorologist)

Mike Scantlin's life can be summed up by one word: Storms. However, it wasn't always like that. Mike moved to Oklahoma at the tender age of seven, and found himself terrified by Oklahoma weather. By the age of nine however, Mike was so set on becoming a storm chaser, that his dear grandparent bought him a VHS shoulder-cam. Needless to say, Mike spent hours and hours each spring and summer watching the local ABC station, waiting for the next storm to come through. He would jump on his bicycle, camera in hand, and ride like hell to his favorite spot to watch the storm come in.

A couple years later, he ran into Randy Rhea, a fellow Glenpool graduate when Mike remembered hearing that Randy wanted to be a meteorologist. Mike and his friends had a chase planned the next day, invited Randy along, and the rest as they say, is history. Mike and Randy have chased together every spring since, with a few new chase buddies every year. When he isn't looking over weather data, or watching tornado videos, Mike can be found getting funky-fresh on the bass guitar.
