Paul Deanno/KPIX5 |
As the storm and ensuing rain events have hit the Bay Area en masse, the weather folks have become, in essence, as central as the news anchors.
The storm(s) are now news with major flooding in and around the nine-county Bay Area.
Deanno is smooth and steady; calm and collected too and what I like most about him is that even as the weather gets extreme, he doesn't. That's a big plus.
There is no on-air histrionics --there is accurate information, statistics and forecasts and Deanno doesn't miss a beat.
At first, I didn't like his ultra-smooth persona, I thought he was too slick. Then I was informed by a PIXie; someone who knows Deanno real well said what you see is the real Deanno, no fake or simpleton --sincerity counts a lot here.
I'm also impressed by Deanno's A-grade forecasts and explanation to non-weather geeks like me just how powerful a "storm surge" is, like the one that seems to have centered over the entire Bay Area and Northern California area.
Keep up the good work, sir.

I haven't watched him regularly but I will starting tonight - it is just water, people - all of the hyperbolic performances from the local news teams only add to people's anxiety. For the most part, most of the extreme conditions are outside of the metro Bay Area.
ReplyDeleteSo he is the Anti Roberta?
ReplyDeleteKPIX had both Brian Hackney on these past few day...I agree that Paul is much better..
ReplyDeleteI also see that Annie Hong is back on weekends and early mornings on KRON 4
Brian and Paul and both good and a shitbox like PIX is lucky to have them both.
DeleteI don't think anyone said that Deanno is better than Hackney -- he's very good, but Hackney is the best. And Hackney is witty, in a John Kessler sort of way, fun to watch.
ReplyDeleteHackneyed is snotty, in a John Houseman sort of way. Irritating as hell to watch.
DeleteNot only is Paul a pure professional, he's a heckuva nice guy, too!
ReplyDeleteBrian Hackney should be the morning anchor with Michelle. Too professional and always doing the extra work coming in on the weekends and sometimes I notice he work extra hours. Great weather guy, better than the current guy with glasses.
ReplyDeleteGriEGO is annoying enough. Pairing her with Hackneyed would represent a double dose of obnoxiousness.
DeleteI know Paul and the KPIX source is correct. He's just very calm and collected.
