An Introduction

Hi, My name is Joe. Ive never blogged before, nor have I really read anyone elses so ill be guessing how this works... I am an amater storm chaser of sorts, most of the charts dont mean alot to me yet so chases are generally impromptu and often misguided but Ive got to try! I love extreme weather, especially lightning and ive been trying for a while now to take photos of it but ive been rather unlucky. Ive only recently discovered this online community and got my radar subscription so hopf

Building Up My Driving Stamina ^^

Hiya, What a terrible August its been for storms! I always thought when I was young that the storms avoided me, always flashing away to the East or the West, rarely overhead. Now, with the availability of radar, my scope of oberservation is widened and they're avoiding me on a national scale! Im sure all enthusiasts feel like that sometimes. Today was another disappointing day for some im sure, I know it was only 10% chance or so but it felt like more I saw some excellent convective cells o

Storms On The Horizon.... And A Look Back To Some In The Past

Hiya Ive been reading the posts about the upcoming week and its attendant storm potential and ive been getting quietly excited like many of us. As Dogs32 said: agree with this being too far away at present for anyone to get too excited................... ..party time! That made me laugh.

Happy Start To The Storm Season!

Well it's nearly upon us anyway. Ive been searching for UK storm videos on YouTube and seems a lot of them are from May and June and May is only 5 weeks away! April could well bring some suprises too. I know this year ill be chasing anything I can, hopefully youll see video of one of the 30 or so tornados we apparently get each year. All I gotta do is buy a car.... These pics are from my chases in '09. Even though it was relatively quiet theres always something worth chasing!
