Early life and education
Hall was born in Pikeville, Kentucky to Stephanie R. Ramsey.[3] He enrolled at Mississippi State University in 2014 to pursue broadcast meteorology but dropped out in 2016.[4] In 2014, he interned at WYMT-TV.[5] Hall chose to leave Mississippi State and his aspiration of traditional TV broadcasting to pursue storm chasing.[3]
YouTube career
Criticism
Hall has been criticized for some of his content and untenable statements, such as a video in 2022 claiming to forecast when exactly different regions would receive snow in the coming winter. Some [who?] have criticized his use of clickbait and statements that present certainty in a prediction when traditional meteorologists have been more cautious about forecasting a storm or system. Kim Klockow McClain, a meteorologist at NOAA and a team lead for the Behavioral Insights Unit says that flashy thumbnails like those used by Hall can dilute the message of the video and skew a viewer's perception of an event being more serious than it is.[7]
Charitable work
In March 2023, Hall's viewers raised over $120,000 to help victims of the Amory and Rolling Fork, Mississippi tornadoes, along with supplies and meals.[8] In May 2024, Hall's viewers raised $93,000 after an EF4 tornado hit the town of Greenfield, Iowa. Hall's charity, the Y'all Squad, provided supplies and meals to the storm victims.[9] In September 2024, People reported the Y'all Squad collects between $30,000-$50,000 for each disaster which is used for food and emergency supplies and rebuilding assistance. As stated by Hall: “Whatever it seems like would be the best thing to do with $50,000, we just do that."[10] In April 2026, the Y'all Squad gave away nearly 1,000 emergency weather radios for free in St. Louis, Missouri, ahead of a predicted severe weather outbreak.[11]
Personal life
Hall currently lives in Pikeville, Kentucky. He is married and has three children.[1]
