NOAA Hurricanes of 2008 satellite time lapse
You’ve got to watch the movie via the link below…it’s totally cool. 2008 was the first year I returned to chasing hurricanes since 2004 due to my illness or lack of storms (2006 & 2007). But in 2008 I was able to [...]

Ah…found my way home
September 13th, 2008 at 9:18pm EDT
OK, found a relatively cheap way home. I’ll be taking the bus from Austin to Dallas. From there I’ll have to wait awhile and then fly from Dallas to DC via Charlotte, NC. It’ll actually cost me less to get back than to fly [...]

Half Way There
September 11th, 2008, at 5:00 PM EDT
Ok, finally got to Charlotte, NC….awaiting my flight to Austin which should depart in about an hour. I am hoping to arrange a window seat on the left side of the aircraft so that if it’s possible to see Hurricane Ike from the air, I’ll [...]

Storms refired on the Eastern Shore
September 9th, 2008 at 2:05pm
The Storm Prediction Center (SPC) increased the slight risk area, but shrunk the 5% tornado risk. It also moved the tornado risk outside the DC area. As I mentioned earlier, the trough seems to have moved more quickly through the area. There is [...]

September 8th, 2008 at 10:25pm
(from the SPC Day 2 discussion)….. MID-DAY DEW POINTS WILL LIKELY RANGE FROM NEAR 60 OVER NEW ENGLAND TO THE UPPER 60S OVER THE MID ATLANTIC REGION. HOWEVER…INCREASING LARGE SCALE ASCENT EARLY IN THE PERIOD AHEAD OF THE UPPER TROUGH WILL LIKELY RESULT IN WIDESPREAD CLOUDS IN [...]

Skywarn Picnic goes well
September 8th, 2008 at 12:25am
The picnic for the Skywarn folks was attended by a few folks, not the large turn out seen in the past. Perhaps the gas prices are affecting even these events. Anyhow, it went well, and this will be the last event at the current building. [...]
