DAN DILLON Dan has been News Director at KFDI since 1979. Dan is a trained storm spotter like all others on the news staff...but he has yet to actually see a tornado or a rotating funnel cloud. The majority of the time, Dan's job during severe weather coverage is to anchor...making sure the men and women in the mobile units get on the air...bringing in Merril Teller and the rest of the meteorologists at KWCH Storm Team 12...and also keeping up with the latest warnings from the National Weather Service.
MARC LAVOIE Marc has worked for KFDI News off and on since 1995. He was the first reporter on the scene in Haysville following the tornado of May 3rd, 1999. He arrived a few minutes after the F-4 storm passed through and provided live coverage of the damage. (The EF tornado designation was not yet in use by the National Weather Service.) Marc continued to follow the storm's path into south Wichita, where it devastated a mobile home park and damaged a Wichita school building. Marc also anchored KFDI's severe weather coverage of a multiple tornado storm system that passed near Mulvane on June 12, 2004. Reporters George Lawson and Jared Cerullo returned to the newsroom and said they had never seen so many tornadoes touch down in the same day.
JOHN WRIGHT In the KFDI News Department, John seems to have a knack of getting close to dangerous storms. March 13th, 1990, John was the only broadcast reporter to warn the residents of Hesston that a huge tornado was headed their way. One year later, April 26, 1991 John also sounded the warning for the people of Andover before a tornado struck. John was also heavily involved in the coverage of the Haysville tornado in May of 1999. GEORGE LAWSON George became a member of the 24-Hour News Center in 1994. George is known for his calm and steady delivery. He is a registered storm spotter like the rest of the KFDI News staff and has covered multiple tornado storms and severe weather events. For the past 14 years with KFDI, he has attended spotter training sessions each year with the National Weather Service (along with other news staffers). On June 12th of 2004, during storm coverage, he saw the tornado that hit the Mulvane area from beginning to end, and saw the homes that were damaged by that storm along K-15.
