IIRC, TWC did a segment on Harry about a year ago. When Harry was working in Tulsa back in the 50s, the FCC wouldn't let TV Meteorologists report on tornadoes as they were happening. Knowing that stupid rules were made to be broken, Harry became the first to report on one. His actions that day may have saved a countless number of lives. He last worked for WFLD in Chicago in the early 2000s.
Rest in Peace, Harry
