Bill Paxton, Hollywood actor, recently passed away. Bill was a notable actor in several successful movies, but most mets and wx people will remember him from his work in the movie “Twister”.

In my opinion, its one of the most entertaining wx movies made in the last 21 years. While it may not have been the most factually correct movie, it was definitely a fun watch and I have a feeling it encouraged many people to study wx and tornadoes.

If you haven’t seen the movie, definitely check it out. If you have seen the movie, see it again, I say, in Bill Paxton’s honor. Also, another favorite of mine that Bill was an actor in was the movie “True Lies” with Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jamie Lee Curtis. Thats a good one, as well.

Rip Bill Paxton.
