Website Updates, Southeast Storms

After getting back from the National Storm Chasers Convention in Denver this past weekend and my latest Dynamics test, I'm now getting geared up for spring. Some updates are coming to my website within the next few weeks including chase accounts form 2-10-09 and 5-22-08 as well as a Google Map of tornadoes I've encountered. Also, the car might undergo some storm related repairs and modifications this weekend.

Currently, there are multiple severe weather reports coming in from the parts of the southeast US. Here is a radar grab of 4 potential tornadic supercells in Georgia.

Carter County Tornado

We viewed a large tornado and multiple power flashes near Gene Autry in southern Oklahoma on Tuesday evening. NWS crews are out surveying the damage right now and there will be more info coming soon about this tornado.

Here is one of the video stills from near Gene Autry, OK in northeastern Carter Co. We are still trying to pull some contrast out of other video and pictures.

Ice Ahead, Storm Chaser Convention

Obviously its been a while since I've posted anything on here but since spring is right around the corner I thought I might try to get things started again. Looks like a chance for the first real winter weather event here in central OK this winter. Unfortunately the dominant precip type looks to be in the form of freezing rain. Latest HPC forecast for Monday-Tuesday shows high likelihood of accumulating ice during this event.

I believe the highest ice totals will be in parts of eastern OK, Arkansas, and Missouri but we could be in for some major problems in central Oklahoma as well.

I'll be heading to Denver in mid February for the 11th annual Storm Chasers Convention. This will be my first time attending and I'm looking forward to seeing some of the speakers along with other chasers. http://chaserconvention.com/

Tornado Footage to air on Storm Chasers

It's been a while since I've posted here but I was contacted by Discovery Channel during the summer about some tornado footage I shot back on April 23, 2008. They were interested in the film for a show called Storm Chasers which will begin in late October. Anyways, they decided to show my footage in Episode 4 which will air on Nov. 9 at 10 p.m. ET/PT. There might be more footage used in later episodes but that has yet to be determined.
