As with any television station employee, Solarski was a mainstay in the coverage of the various hurricanes which have directly 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 point of reason news figurehead with the [[Wikipedia:Deepwater Horizon oil spill|Deepwater Horizon oil spill]] crisis, (also known as the BP oil spill, that ) 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 which Pensacola is so attached with.

A devoted family man, he lives in Gulf Breeze with his wife and children. Solarski loves to cook. His staple dishes include grilled chicken, steak, vegetable lo-mein, grilled fish sandwiches, fresh bearnaise sauce, sushi, and Vietnamese grilled shrimp or pork. He also plays guitar and has a favorite acoustic made in Canada called a "Norman." He also owns a Fender Strat, two Gibsons: an SG and a Blues Hawk, a Takamine and a Taylor acoustic which he houses in his office for picking between newscasts. He also enjoys sports and include as his favorite teams as the Dallas Cowboys, New Orleans Saints and New York Giants (NFL), New York Mets and New York Yankees (MLB), New York Rangers (NHL), Pensacola Ice Flyers (SPHL), New York Knicks (NBA), and Pensacola Blue Wahoos (SL).  Other interests include golf, sailing and computing.
