  • Indian weather lore such as a Thunder Moon[2] and a Sun dog was often used in his broadcasts.
  • He was known for his extreme enthusiasm for weather that would usually result in a variety of odd sound effects including: Bing, bowg, boink, boing, boiiiiing, bowk, hah, haaah!, (tearing sound), (squashed sound), ohhhh, goooomph, ziiiing, zoooom, (sound of car stopping suddenly), phhhht, eeerrrrrrumble-rumble-rumble, (slurping sound), sheeewhhhh, oh-oh, vooomph, voom, wonk, vooop, whhktw, waawaa, waaaa, waaam, and zeeek.[3]
  • "Never trust a split jet stream" was an often repeated phrase during his weather reports.[4]
  • Eubank also quoted John Ruskin regularly, saying "There is no such thing as bad weather, only different kinds of good weather."[1]

Career highlights

Retirement

On November 29, 2006, Eubank signed off the air for the final time. He passed his job and white coat to his son Kevin Eubank.[1] Shortly after retiring, he and his wife served two Latter Day Saints missions; first one year in St. George, Utah and then at the Laie Hawaii temple visitors center for three years where Eubank served as the director of the visitors center.[6]
