every show that i saw made the fact that Storm was from Portland very apparent whenever she was on screen, and she made it apparent whenever she was able to... her website alludes to it over and over. our website (danteslive.com) has more than quadrupled in traffic since Storm started appearing on national tv... traffic from all over the world... the trickle-down is very apparent, both directly and indirectly. knowing her very well personally, i guarantee you Storm is all about Portland, she owns a cute little house here, it's her home, and on tv that's what she wanted most was to represent us all extremely well. and she did.
