Some of you may know who Gary England is. He is the meteorologist who was reporting live on the May 3 1999 Oklahoma City Tornado outbreak.

He has agreed to an interview and this is your chance now to submit your questions here (sensible of course). I will then put those questions to Gary and post them up here at a later date!!

The May 3rd event was widely reported by the media as many live images and reports were broadcast to the public. This I am sure saved many lives as the public were made warned of the event as it unfolded.

2004 marks the 50 year anniversary of the London 1954 8th December T8 (F4) tornado which claimed 13 lives. There was no live severe weather broadcasts at the time and the public was generally unaware.

If such an event was to occur today in London or Paris how do you feel that the European broadcasters would cope with the rapid transmission of live and genuinely informative information– the UK for example does not have access to a Doppler radar feed.
