SOUTH PLAINFIELD, NJ–On Wednesday, May 14th, Greg Machos officially became a full member of the American Meteorological Society. To become a member of the AMS, you have to be involved with weather and meteorology in some shape or form. Machos, through his work on his web sites, Hurricaneville and Greg’s Weather Center, has been able to become a member through the media. Prior to becoming a full member of the AMS, Machos had been a student member of the organization after applying in September 2003 while studying for his Meteorology Minor at the then Cook College Campus of Rutgers University. Machos earned the minor in December 2004, but remained a student member of the AMS until he graduated last May.
