Blake Phillips, originally from St. Louis, Missouri, joined KGUN 9 as a multimedia journalist and reporter in October of 2023.
But that has changed in recent years.
McCown started chasing storms in 2009, which led him to pave the way with other early storm chasers here in Tucson.“One of the reasons Arizona is so good for photographic, photogenic lightning, is because we have high cloud bases. Our cloud bases are way up there,” says McCown. “Storms have a habit of popping up and dying with all within five minutes…..generally speaking, when we start forecasting, we got a 50 to 100 mile radius of an area that we're just kind of hoping to be in that general area when something happens,“ says McCown.
“This giant bolt of lightning just lit up. It was this white, this almost fluorescent colored, purplish light all around me. And I just felt my entire body shutter," says Bailey.And while she doesn't have the scars to show it, she still feels the affects to this day.
