Carly is the creator of CarlyAnnaWX, a Youtube channel dedicated to remembering devastating weather events and the effects on their communities. She also runs Two Storms, an apparel store which aims to bring awareness of storm anxiety and natural disaster-induced traumas with a good chunk of the profits going to mental health and severe weather relief charities.
Carly talks tornadoes, growing up in the Bible Belt, where her fascination with extreme weather comes from, living in Atlanta, how storm chasing and storm monitoring has changed over the years, notable storms and how they've been captured on film, the film Twisters and of course there’s still time to talk about X Files S2 Ep12 ‘Aubrey’.
