WHERE HURRICANES, TORNADOES, LIGHTNING, BLIZZARDS, AND FLOODS ARE NO MATCH!
Not much of an update for the blog today or tonight. I should talk about the likely frost the DC northern region is going to get, but I’ve been working on video lately. Had to move some files around a bit to free up some capture space (video files are huge). I [...]

Back a number of weeks ago, a fellow chase apprentice was out chasing some storms in east-central Virginia. He began in Maryland, and did a pretty decent job at driving through eastern areas of the DC region and down into southern Maryland [...]

A small break in storm activity today.
June 18th, 2009 at 11:52pm EDT
OK, been busy with storms lately, can’t even seem to keep up with photos and video. Of course I’m chasing in between many household and business requirements, so it’s been hard to sit at the computer for any length of time lately.
Still working [...]

Lots of rain and thunderstorms the past few days.

I have to catch up on photos and video yet, but wanted to briefly talk about the large amount of rain we’ve had over the past few weeks and especially the last three days. Two days ago I did venture out [...]

Ventured out with little expectations of seeing anything severe. And that was somewhat true. However, what I didn’t expect was the huge amount of lightning I encountered with these storms. Above is just one photo and below are [...]

UPDATE: Quick shots from a few hours ago:
Above was some shots I took from the Olde Towne Gaithersburg, Maryland area and there was quite a few close CG (cloud-to-ground) lightning. I only managed one photo shot, but there were quite a few and very close too. Overall, this storm didn’t have a lot [...]

Didn’t expect to be out, but did for OK thunderstorms
May 28th, 2009 at 6:59pm EDT
Today I thought my car would be in the shop all day. I dropped it off for some work on the timing, but the problem wasn’t the timing at all. So I picked it up, and on the way [...]

Yesterday I spent some time planning to investigate how to begin some of the modifications to the new chase vehicle, a 1997 Subaru Legacy GT wagon. It was really only suppose to be planning, but things went so well, and were so easy [...]
