Bruce Jones and Bruce Thomas, Meteorologists at Midland Radio

Bruce Jones and Bruce Thomas are known as “The Bruces from Midland”.   They are both former TV meteorologists who believe strongly that every home, school and business should have a NOAA Weather Radio.  Thomas was on the air during the Jarrell, TX tornado (May 27, 1997) and Jones was living outside Rapid City, SD on June 9, 1972 when the big flood killed 238 people.
