Tulsa television has lost an icon tonight. KTUL-TV announced that legendary meteorologist Don Woods died this evening at the age of 84 due to complications from pancreatic cancer. Woods was the ABC affiliate's first meteorologist when the station signed on in 1954 and stayed at Channel 8 until he retired in 1989. Woods was best known for his beloved character "Gusty", who Woods drew every night during his forecasts. His work is currently displayed at Gilcrease Museum in Tulsa and the Smithsonian Museum in Washington.
