For me it was simple as I always like to track Tropical Cyclones around the world and I watch them from the moment they begin to take shape so that is my nickname.

X-I found the letter interesting, typhoon-I mainly track typhoons and I live in a place where typhoons forms, and cyclone because I also track cyclones from other basins.

I am a physical therapist by trade and my name is patrick. originally went to school to be a met, but switched when I realized I little aptitude for physics/calculus/etc. In hindsite, I probably would be a met today if I had gone to Mississippi state where the curriculum was a little less, shall we say, rigorous, than Florida State. It was a good ride though and proud to say I wondered those hallowed halls for a year and a half.
