Cantore is one of the best-known meteorologists on television and has become known as a harbinger of hurricane damage for nearly four decades. He is famous, or possibly infamous, for his on-location appearances before and especially during major weather events and often puts himself seemingly in harm's way to demonstrate how dangerous a storm is.

The meteorologist and famed hurricane harbinger is on Florida's west coast and will be reporting from Port Richey, according to a social media post from The Weather Channel. But first, he's in Hudson Beach, just over 7 miles north of there.

Weather Channel legend Jim Cantore is "praying" that he's wrong about Hurricane Helene. Hurricane Helene, the tropical storm turned hurricane that is barreling toward Florida's Gulf Coast, could be the worst storm to hit the United States in more than a year.

A Facebook page called, “ Tracking Jim Cantore ,” is devoted to tracking his whereabouts. On Wednesday, Cantore was in Port Richey, Florida. Port Richey is a city just south of Hudson Beach in Pasco County near the Gulf of Mexico with a population of more than 3,300, according to U.S. Census data.
