You can watch Brooks on weekday mornings on FOX 35's Good Day Orlando, 4 a.m. - 10 a.m.
Brooks recently went viral after he was on the air tracking severe weather in Central Florida and a tornado passed over the station – all caught on camera. He's also helped lead hurricane coverage for Hurricane Ian, Idalia, Nicole, Helene, and Milton.

Other career highlights include flying into Hurricane Sandy with NOAA’s Hurricane Hunters and covering Hurricane Harvey’s destruction across Texas and Louisiana, where his station was eventually destroyed by floodwaters.
When he’s not tracking storms, Brooks enjoys spending time with his wife Erica and their children, exploring the natural wonders of Florida.
