John Homenuk, the 34-year-old storm chaser behind the New York Metro Weather X account, is hotter than a heat wave.
Camel Wool Cloth Sportswear Coat, Camel Extrafine Silk Rib Tank Top, and Camel and Black Silk Neckbow with Leather and Metal Carabiners, atIn the midst of an unrelenting New York heat wave, I met John Homenuk at the American Museum of Natural History. It’s the closest I could bring the storm chaser, consulting meteorologist, and admin of the beloved “New York Metro Weather”to anything close to the actual outdoors without us both succumbing to heat stroke.
His interest in weather endured, and in high school, he found a place for people like himself: weather chat rooms, where he could discuss ball lightning and lenticular clouds with other people who wanted to discuss ball lightning and lenticular clouds. This, naturally, led to a blog: newyorkmetroweather.blogspot.com. “There wasn’t a New York City weather blog at the time,” he says.
Unable to find a weather-related job after graduation, Homenuk wound up selling insurance in Minneapolis. Where, incidentally, the storms were plentifulStorm-chasing is slightly less dramatic than it might seem in the movies, he tells me, guiding us through the museum . Before a chase, he’ll start perusing weather models to find out where the nearest storm is brewing.
and he finds a picture he thinks I might like of a sunset in Flint Hills. A pink sky glows over a cluster of mammatus clouds. “People call them …” He lowers his voice. “Boob clouds.”he went out on his own and started a weather consulting firm.
