George Flickinger and his wife moved to Tulsa from Texas in 2001 for one reason-- to chase storms together and study severe weather in the most active active region in the World.
My fascination with the weather started early. Age 5. Thanks to a little girl named Dorothy, a pair of Ruby Red slippers and one nasty twister. Years later I learned the tornado in the movie was just a special effect--but that didn't stop "The Wizard of Oz" from remaining one of my favorites, and weather, one of my passions.

The newest addition to the Channel 2 Sports Team, Cayden McFarland is blessed to have found a job in the only profession that can justify an entire childhood spent watching sports and memorizing boxscores.
I was born in Tulsa and spent the first 19 years of my life here. I grew up in Owasso and played football, basketball, and baseball. I can't say that I really excelled at any of the three but because of my participation in sports I found my niche in broadcasting
