I grew up in the 60s-70s watching 7 NEWS for our weather in Lake Arthur, LA with Rob Robbin! We all knew that if Rob said it was going to rain cats and dogs, that's what our weather was. I'm between two homes in north LA and Lake Arthur and still check my weather with 7NEWS! Still my favorite news channel!
