Doing the Weather From a Hotel Room Hundreds of Miles Away

Back in August of 2020, FTVLive told you how KPLC (Lake Charles) Meteorologist Ben Terry was on the air trying to keep viewers safe from a hurricane as his own home was being destroyed by the storm.

Terry is still doing the weather for KPLC, but now his forecasts are coming from a hotel room in Houston, Texas.

Terry is battling colon cancer and has to have radiation treatments daily to try and fight off the cancer. So, in the morning he has his radiation and in the evening he is giving viewers the forecast from his hotel room.

KTRK’s Charlie Haldeman did a story about Terry’s day.
