WHERE HURRICANES, TORNADOES, LIGHTNING, BLIZZARDS, AND FLOODS ARE NO MATCH!
Just adding another image to the blog from the chase on August 16th, 2010:
OK, so it’s not as good as the others, but not bad. Very interesting to look at though. I cropped this image some to focus on the bold and the small portion of illuminated convection adjacent. I was flipping through some settings [...]

Yes, the Weather Warrior/Ellinwood crew returns to Pennsylvania for ANOTHER storm chase
Full blog will be uploaded later, but another successful chase, and once again in the central and southeastern portions of Pennsylvania. More pictures will come later too.

This lightning picture was taken from the last chase I was on with Mark Ellinwood when we entered an area east of the Richmond metroplex.
That is it for now, as I have slacked off some, but will be returning to blogging regularly shortly.

Weak Storm helped me get in the mood for tomorrow.
Some pulse type storms came through today. Decent when the line of storms form to the west in the far western Maryland, southeastern Pennsylvania and adjoining counties in West Virginia, but diminished after crossing the Potomac River and entering Montgomery [...]

Active weather day yesterday. Moderate distance local chase, and great lightning storm in early morning hours.
Mark Ellinwood and myself took a drive north & east toward northeast Maryland and Southeastern Pennsylvania for some action there. It was a tough forecast (for me) mostly because of lack of time [...]

Surprise intensification on thunderstorms in the very early morning hours.

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 [...]

Successful outing (storm chase) Yesterday.
March 30th, 2009 at 2:43am EDT.
Returned home around 1am this morning and now just throwing down a picture a quick note that I did in fact chase yesterday. I didn’t announce it when I went out because I really didn’t think I would see a damn thing. But upon [...]

Got some decent lightning shots tonight
September 30th, 2008 at 11:36pm EDT
Late this afternoon into this evening, a thunderstorm formed along a boundary and moved through the DC region. I was at home in Gaithersburg, so I didn’t get a chance to position myself in a favorable position. However, I did manage to get [...]
