  • Hard to fathom they are both dead.

    RIP old friends.

  • boy do I remember those gauges, this clip brings back the memories

  • I just found your cahanel! This is great! I'm Harold's son, Rafael. Where did you get all of these clips??? You can checkout my site at ratiniraq.

  • Great video that brings back the memories. Those hand drawn charts are something I'll always remember. And this was back when the black and white satellite photos were as hi-tech as it got. In the 70's he was *the* weatherman in the North Texas TV news market.

  • Great clip! Really appreciated Harold's insight and weather forecasting skills and made use of them as a storm spotter in Dallas County back in the day ...

    BTW, many thanks for the video, it brought back good memories of Harold's voice and his on-air presentation style with attention to detail (e.g. the T-storm cloud tops blowing off into Texas as shown on the video. We don't get that kind of detail any more!)

    .

  • I liked Harold Taft. I remember when NOAA radio announced his death.

  • a select few know this but Harold used to frequent this place on the corner of University, Camp Bowie and Bailey, called JJ's Blues Bar, and I will testify that Harold blew one mean horn

  • I continue to measure all Meteorologists

    by Harolds strict standards that he insisted on.

    I count it a blessing to have lived in North Texas and watch him on TV.

    I was given a tour of KXAS TV5 in 1989 by Scott C. I got to sit in on the evening news

    I was disappointed when I was told I would not be able to meet Harold.

    Knowing now how ill he was I understand and my most respectful condolences to his family and friends.

    I used to refer to Harold as "the great one"

  • I'm loving this. Got any more of Channel 5 ACTION NEWS, or any DFW TV NEWS??? Keep on posting them. Great job.
