TAMPA, Fla. — Where is Jim Cantore? The Weather Channel personality always seems to be where the storm is and right now, that means Florida.

Where is he heading next? We don't know, but wherever it is, given that his X (formerly Twitter) profile says that he's "always awaiting mother nature's latest temper tantrum," people up and down the Florida coast will be looking for him.

There's even a Facebook group dedicated to tracking his movements.
