John Oldshue is a current fill-in meteorologist for WKRG in Mobile, Alabama. Formerly a meteorologist and storm chaser for ABC 33/40 in Birmingham, Alabama, from 1997 to 2011, he retired to run a small business. He won an Emmy award for coverage of the Tuscaloosa tornado on December 16, 2000, alongside meteorologist James Spann. A decade later, he was the first storm spotter/meteorologist to capture video of the April 27, 2011, Tuscaloosa tornado and transmit that to ABC 33/40, approximately 30 minutes before the tornado struck the city. Spann later called Oldshue one of the “unsung heroes of April 27,” later saying, “He captured that big wedge tornado on the ground when it was still 30 miles south of Tuscaloosa. That dramatic video convinced a lot of people to take cover."
