Ostarly’s interest in weather began when he was a child(on the 8th of May, 1995). That day, South Louisiana was hit by a torrential rainstorm that dumped nearly 20 inches of rain in less than 48 hours. Ostarly was living in South Louisiana at the time, and the storm caused considerable flooding.
Ostarly was scared of the weather when he was five years old. However, it was the deluge that drove him to obsessively monitor The Weather Channel. As he watched, he learned more about the weather and eventually became unconcerned about it. That is how he came to the conclusion that he wanted to be a meteorologist.
