  • 03/03/08 Storm Chase Recap

    03.30.08 SW Oklahoma Tornadic Supercell

    2 a.m. now, ended chasing about an hour or so ago as I got in to OKC. Storms I was chasing are STILL going as I write this and producing possible tornadoes. After chasing them about 7 hours I am exhausted. Crashing out the night here at Steve Miller’s (OK) house in Moore to be ready for chasing tomorrow here in Oklahoma most likely.

    Storms fired for me down in SW OK just north of where I was staged and tried to tornado MANY times but I never actually saw one. I would not be surprised to learn there was some rain wrapped twisters after dark in that monster.

    From what I heard, seems like the first live chasecam day was a success with 225 people viewing it at one point. I would love to hear more feedback on it. Thanks for those that commented already. I’ll be running it again tomorrow.

    Much more detailed chase report to come in the future and some pics when I have more time.

    Late so off to bed, I’ll post in the morning for what the plans are.

  • 03/30/08 Chase Update 1

    Stopped off in Childress for a quick bite to eat and decided I need to be a little more northeast. Nice CU field getting started all from here east north and south. Dryline is a little east of here at this time.

    ChaseCam is now LIVE!!

    Be sure and post a reply if you’re watching si I know I am not just broadcasting in to space. 🙂

    EDIT:  5:15pm CDT right now, holding up in East Duke, Oklahoma.  That’s between Hollis and Altus in SW OK.  Triple point seems to be to my southwest at this time.  Nice SE winds here with dewpoints at 61 on my weather station here.  Some agitated CU to my SW as well I am keeping an eye on.

    As a side note, I have Sprint EVDO service here of all places. WOOHOO!
