Jeff Masters and Bob Henson will soon face off in what promises to be the extreme weather trivia showdown of the year. The two meteorologists have agreed to compete in a contest — hosted by meteorologist Alexandra Steele — in which they’ll answer extreme weather trivia questions, including those suggested by Eye on the Storm readers. A third, mystery contestant will also compete for the crown.
In accepting the invitation to compete, Masters wrote: “Bob and I would be formidable opponents; while I probably have the edge in hurricane-related trivia, he’s got me on tornadoes.”
We’ll showcase the trivia contest — and reveal the ultimate champion of extreme weather facts — on our YouTube channel on June 7.
Here’s where you come in. What are your suggestions for trivia questions we should ask?
We’re looking for a range of difficulty: easy, medium, and stump-the-expert level. And we’re interested in a variety of questions about climate change, hurricanes, tornadoes, wildfires, floods, winter storms, heat waves, geomagnetic storms, weather-related movies, and even funny or silly weather trivia.
Important: To ensure the integrity of the contest, the questions must be kept secret from Masters and Henson. Don’t share your suggestions on any comment threads.
