"2011 was a historic year for the USA with 14 separate billion dollar weather disasters," said Paul Douglas, Chief Meteorologist, WeatherNation TV. "2012 promises to be another year of wild weather and here at WeatherNation, we'll continue to focus on telling that story by tapping some of America's best meteorologists and newest technology to help keep viewers informed."
