Im sad to report that hurricane-chaser extraordinaire Jim Leonard has died at the age of 64. Native Floridian Jim was truly one of the pioneer hurricane chaserdudes-- one of the very first of our breed. This aside, he was a kind and generous mentor to a whole generation of great chasers-- Michael Laca, Jim Edds, Mike Theiss, Scott McPartland, and many more. Jim and I used to talk on the phone occasionally. I remember he was a true tropical dude-- always (and I mean *always*) up for a chat about our mutual obsession: chasing hurricanes. He has so many awesome videos-- but Ive always really dug this one from Hurricane GEORGES in Puerto Rico. (I decided to show one of his videos because thats what he would have wanted-- us remembering him through his many hawt chases. :) ) So long, Jim-- you were a pioneer and a mensch. -Josh
