SEMINOLE COUNTY, Fla. — Channel 9 is looking back at 30 years of Central Florida’s chief meteorologist, Tom Terry.

20 years ago on Sunday, two major stories hit on the same day, an election and a major tornado in Seminole County.

Terry was live on Channel 9 on Nov. 8 2006, telling people to hunker down, moments before the tornado touched down.

The Election Day tornado would end up traveling more than a mile and damaging 55 buildings.
