  • Storm Chaser Tim Samaras on Tornado Probes and Lightning

    One of the people I interviewed at the 2010 National Storm Chaser Convention was storm chaser Tim Samaras from Colorado.  Some of you might remember him from Season 3 of the Discovery Channel show, Storm Chasers.  Tim has actually been around chasing storms for quite a while. I’ve known Tim I guess since about 2002 or so when I began helping them with the convention promotion on the Internet. Tim along with Roger Hill of course, helps organize the convention each year.  Tim is one of the busiest guys I know in storm chasing and always has a bunch of cool projects going on.  In this video interview, he talks candidly about some of them!

    Arrived in Denver yesterday about 5 pm MST and went to the airport to pick up some other chasers flying in.  We all hung out, hand dinner and ended up going to Old Chicago downtown (and having a second dinner!)

    Had a great time, got in bed finally about 3 a.m. then tried to sleep to the resounding music of freight train horns blowing repeatedly only yards from the hotel!

    Here is a quick video blog from last night. More to come…
