He also admires anyone willing to sacrifice their personal lives for leadership.

As with any television station employee, Solarski was a mainstay in the coverage of the various hurricanes which made landfall in the Pensacola area, such as Opal and Erin (1995), Ivan (2004) and Dennis (2005). Ivan is listed as the 10th most intense Atlantic hurricane in history. His continuous coverage of these hurricanes are some of his most vivid memories. Solarski, along with Straughn, was also a prominent news figurehead with the [[Wikipedia:Deepwater Horizon oil spill|Deepwater Horizon oil spill]] crisis (also known as the BP oil spill) which plagued the entire Gulf Coast region in 2010. The spill caused extensive damage to local marine habitats and to the Gulf's fishing and tourism industries , in which Pensacola is so deeply entrenched.
