What happened to the whacko weather guy from somewhere in Prince Edward island who would yell the forecast on his little internet tv station.

Is he still out there?

Whacko? I'm not qualified to suggest what this young man's handicap is, but it seems he and his family have been able to channel his love of weather into an activity that he enjoys and that his audience enjoys.

According to Wiki it is Autism, good job for him though (He has done countless interviews for major news stations, paid to act in news paradoys, and even did some basic work for some statons) most people dont follow their dreams, but he did despite his handicap.

Yes, he's clearly autistic. Perhaps I should have said, enthused young man with a whacko presentation.

I didn't mean to imply that he is whacko, although I admit it surely sounded that way. Very enthused, and I'm quite excited for him and his 11 million hits on YouTube.

Thanks for the information. I enjoy his weather reports even if he does have to yell at us.

Here he is on the current storm:

Frankie is alright in my book. He had a desire to become a weatherman, and did not let life's speed bumps hinder him, he is awesome! Most "normal" (whatever that means) people never realize their dreams.Frankie is living his life on his terms.

One should always go after their dreams to a safe degree if they have a handicap. Luckilly frankies handicap does not prevent him from his, i know many people who have had their dreams crushed, or wjo have had to lower their dreams by a disability, myself included to an extent.
