Stormtrack…really that bad?

Friday, August 27th, 2010 at 12:27am EDT
The new trend….bash stormtrack.org
While I certainly understand those who wish to no longer participate in some forums, it seems rather unreasonable as of late for folks to bash certain forums too. In particular it is www.stormtrack.org. The site has suffered a number of bouts with unneeded and ridiculous drama [...]

TS Colin gone, new copyright law, new twitter goal, chase on Thursday and more

Tuesday, August 3, 2010 at 10:35pm EDT
A slew of updates and quick discussions.
First up, Tropical Storm Colin left as quickly as it came:
Early today at the 5pm National Hurricane Center update, they concluded from various data sources (buoys mostly) that Tropical Storm Colin was short lived, issuing it’s last discussion and classifying the system a [...]

Today: Work on the Warrior Wagon.

Wednesday, June 23rd, 2010 at 11: 58pm EDT
Interior work today, axle work tomorrow
I got started somewhat late today so rather than start work on the front axle, I began a project to swap around some interior elements. Mostly relocating the AC & heat controls lower in the dash. I’m also moving the AM/FM CD [...]

Charity DVD project from Storm Chasers

June 21st, 2010 at 10:34pm EDT
“Storms of” series poised to return for 2010
After a rocky situation at the end of the Storms of 2008 DVD and a slow 2009 storm chase season resulting in the absence in 2009, rumors and supporters are putting forward that likely means we will see the series return for the [...]

Working together, turning negatives in positives

June 20th, 2010 at 11:47pm EDT
Getting scientists and storm chasers to work together rather than against each other.
Ever since May 19, 2010 storm day, and certain media outlets quoted Josh Wurman as having said some less than desirable things about chasers being in the way of Vortex2 and serious researchers, many have turned the science [...]

Busy time, technical glitch here.

Monday, May 3rd, 2010 at 11:19pm EDT
I’ve missed quite a few days blogging, here’s why:
Lots of good days to blog about, but unfortunately either a virus or some other hick-up was slamming my website hosting account. There is a possibility it was being done remotely somehow through my PC, as the IP was showing my [...]

Well, I saw a tornado today…in Baltimore no less.

Thursday, April 15th, 2010 at 11:50pm EDT
Today….I saw a tornado. But I don’t think this one will make the SPC reports and is likely rated an EF negative 1 (EF -1).

OK, it’s April…no sign of good storms yet.

Tuesday, April 13th, 2010 at 10:48pm EDT
While I’m not going to complain, I will make the following observation:
This year so far, any severe weather hopes have not played out. We have had rain and a few strikes of lightning with some thunder. Overall though we have not seen any severe weather, or photogenic [...]

Storms have passed, temperatures dropping

Thursday, April 8th, 2010 at 10:52pm EDT
Well, the long string of warms days are done…for now.
I haven’t been spending too much time in the home office since I have been taking full advantage of the absolutely exquisitely warm weather and sunny skies. For all but maybe a few hours here and there, we’ve had [...]

RadarScope on iPhone

Monday, April 5th, 2010 at 11:41pm EDT
A quick opinion on RadarScope (by Base Velocity) for the iPhone/iPad
Recently while in Florida with some fellow Hurricane chaser buddies, I was shown RadarScope App for the iPhone…on the iPhone. I was rather impressed at it’s usefulness and ease of use on such a small screen. A [...]
