What About News 8's Maureen McCann? She is always there and I feel like she is the most accurate of anyone in Austin. She was the onsite weather person for the Robbie Knievel jump and because of her knowledge of the incoming storm she was able to greenlight Robbie's jump downtown even though the sky was black and was littered with lightning bolts. Other than that, she is a nice lady, and that goes a long way.
