David Payne was fooled by a “Smudgenado”

Poor David Payne can't catch a break.

Actually, that's not entirely true. David is the chief meteorologist for KWTV News 9. That's the weather equivalent of being the manager for the New York Yankees, head coach of the Dallas Cowboys or head talent scout for Night Trips. It really is a dream job. Plus, he has a stable full of meteorologists, storm chasers, chopper pilots and HD Doppler Radars at his command whenever a dry line approaches. That's convenient if you're hungry and need carry out but don't want to drive in the rain.
