GUSTY®

Oklahoma designated Gusty® as the official state cartoon symbol in 2005 (the first cartoon symbol for any state).

In 1954 Don Woods and GUSTY® joined KTUL TV in Tulsa, Oklahoma for 35 memorable years of weather forecasts. During each weathercast Don drew a GUSTY® showing the predicted weather conditions. The popularity of Don and GUSTY® grew throughout portions of Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Kansas until they were household names.

Don Woods is a meteorologist, artist, instructor, author, illustrator, mentor, and friend to multitudes. Don and his little cartoon character, GUSTY®, have found a place in our hearts and Oklahoma history.
