Eric is famous!
Go Eric!
Great report Eric! It's exciting to see our local weather coverage (and our great WREX weather team) on a national weather channel.
Maybe youll get a promotion to the Weather Channel... or would that be a demotion?
Eric, awesome job! You are a real pro :)
But also, are the people at the weather channel deaf or what? You made it clear there was little flooding in rockford and mainly in dekalb...Yet they keep reffering to Rockford about the flooding. They are so clueless.
Great job Eric!! We are so lucky to have you at Channel 13. Oh yeah, can I have your autograph?
No autographs! hahaha
I wish we had a satellite-live truck so I could've been live. I hate relying on my old cell phone for things like this. ;) -ERIC
