Anyone else storm chase here? Do you have any amazing tornado shots?

Video doesnt load.

Gone chasing up her in WI a few times. No cameras, just watching the storms.

Interesting set up. I chase if/when I get a chance but I usually end up having to go to work instead.

When I do go I prefer to get the storm as a whole in the environment it's in. Though it is very exhilarating being close to a tornado. Got within a few hundred meters of an EF2 in Wyoming deploying sensor pods during Vortex 2. Way Cool. But can't say I would want to do it again.


The trouble with weather forecasting is that it's right too often for us to ignore it and wrong too often for us to rely on it. ~Patrick Young

Brian,

I originally saw this video over on ST, so it made me smile when I saw it here too. Glad to see you on POTN too!

You have a nice set-up for chasing! Now, let's hope for a great 2012 chase season...

See ya out on the Plains sometime,
Bryan
