Here is the NOAA “Hall Of Honor”… look under 1974 and see who shows up!
J.B. won the sliver medal in 1974:
“James B. Elliott, Birmingham, Alabama — Mr. Elliott is cited for his extraordinary competence during a series of devastating tornadoes that occurred in Northern Alabama during 1973. His exceptional skill and devotion to duty in the timely and effective issuance of tornado warnings were instrumental in keeping the loss of life to a minimum. His initiative, talent, and dedication have enabled him to become a leader in the area of severe weather warnings. His performance under pressure is flawless.”
All I can say is AMEN!
