Default Storms in area

Here are some radar images from my software I use for chasing storms. I sat this one out because of the game, I wish now I had went out. Lots of action in Chris' (Webracin) neck of the woods.



See those green areas? Those are sings of rotation. See the pink triangle? That is a TVS signature, which means there is likely a tornado forming or at the very least a funnel cloud.

One of these days we'll have to hook up and do that. It has a lot of boring aspects to it until you are on the storm and then it can get really fun in a short period of time depending on the severity of the storm.

Scotty, if only you lived here today. Tornado touhed down 6 miles away from my house, and went wild!!!!!! went through 3 towns here, dads car is looks like a golf ball from the baseball size hail.

I walked into work....no one there, then I hear the tornado alarm and says to head to lower level. low and behold...day shift and night shift personel.....kinda funny. what a week to have the wiper motor take a crap....

thankfully no one was killed...quite a few injured though. It has been a long time since I have seen the sky that DARK...it was 62 today(WIERD)...almost sunny. driving down the road it was like a wall of DARK DARK black clouds....it was wild!

dad got up and close with the tornado...he was on his way to his dentist appointment when ....hey...up ahead...tornado. from what he describes it. today was a wierd day, now they are calling for more snow here in 2 days, when we are at close to 60 right now. something funny is going on here.

Ive been chasing storms for a long time and the weather patterns have definitely shifted dramatically in the last few years, so Im not surprised anymore by it being 70 one day and 40's or 50's the next if not cooler.

I can remember a time when I was so sleep deprived from chasing storms throughout the week and working full time that I would just show up at work a little early and take a nap out in the car in the parking lot just to get some rest.

Last year, if I chased 10 storms I'd be surprised.

Thats pretty sweet Scotty! I wish we lived closer to your area to follow storms, we both love it lol. We had tornado warnings here last night and it was storming pretty good for a while. I guess it is supposed to hit again tonight but we will see. No tornado touchdowns close to use but I think there were a few sightings mid state between here and Chicago.
