Chris McGehee

I was born in East Tennessee but we moved around a lot so I can say I grew up in Tennessee and Virginia and California. I work as a hydrologist for the National Weather Service, at the Southeast River Forecast Center outside of Atlanta.

Before, I was service hydrologist at the Weather Forecast Office in Fairbanks, Alaska for five years, and before that I interned at the New Orleans/Baton Rouge WFO in Slidell, Louisiana—but I missed Hurricane Katrina by 11 years.

Today I live in Coweta County, Georgia with my husband Kevin, our four cats Taz, Suzie Q, Mickie and Sophie, and our dog Lucy.

I’m a “ham,” call sign KLØUD, and belong to Women of the Moose and Daughters of the American Revolution.

Kevin here, taking an opportunity to brag a little about Chris, since she won't do it herself.
