Meteorologist Brooks Garner has been part of FOX 35's Storm Team since June 2021, leading viewers and the newsroom through Florida's major weather events, including severe weather, tornadoes, heatwaves, tropical storms, and hurricanes.
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.
He holds dual seals of approval from the American Meteorological Society and the National Weather Association. His weather coverage has earned him an Edward R. Murrow Award, several Emmy Awards, and an AP Award.
Before Orlando, Brooks worked in Boston, Massachusetts; Denver, Colorado; Columbia, South Carolina; Houston, Texas; and Tampa, Florida.
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.
