For your information, the meteorologist at the beginning of the video at the weather channel is Vivian Brown and at the end of the clip on the weather channel is Kevin Ramer.

I remember Jerry...but that little blip on the radar is nothing compared to Ike.

From the chron archive.

"Brandon, 46, came under investigation last year after a man complained to Houston police that he had been sexually assaulted at Brandon's townhome in southwest Houston. The same complaint included allegations of child pornography. No charges were filed. "

"To avoid any unfavorable publicity to himself and his family or Channel 13, he agreed to settle the matter for a very nominal sum of money," Wilson said.

Look like the molestation thing isn't true.

Alan Hemberger aged badly IMHO. Hes like a different person.

Frank looks almost the same.

Joe Diaz was assigned to an environmental taskforce to monitor pollution along the gulf coast and the protection of sea turtles after Ed Brandon returned. After a few months he left and went back to the station he worked at before in Albuquerque. He's still there to this day.

When Ed Brandon left 13, what happened in the first place to make him leave? And what made him come back?

[billybassman21]

He had a cocaine addiction and was fired after someone narced him out. At the time the station aired that his doctor told him he couldnt work anymore due to health issues. He did an interview on ch 26 telling his story He went to rehab and Dave Ward ultimately was the one that got him back at the station. He also told the story in part when he retired. Someone in HPD told me he was accused of child molestation and the rehab thing was a front. I dont know if there is any truth to that or not.
