    Hey you guys are finally getting truly international, what with me having done 3 tours and Jock currently drive. Have a great trip Josh. I've travelled from Oz for my trips and its definitely worth getting to Dallas a couple of days earlier to acclimatise to the heat and do some sightseeing. Am now wishing I was chasing again this year

    Well its 11.12pm here in Sydney and is still currently 30.5c, so not very conducive to sleeping. It looks like it will cool down slightly in time for the weekend, only to ramp back up to full furnace strength again on Monday. Think I need to move back to the UK LOL

    Unfortunately I'm now not going to be doing T4 , but I will be back again in 2017. I seem to like chasing in odd numbered years anyway... 2013, 2015 Looking forward to watching and ready all the reports and seeing the photos

    Come and live in Oz Nick! 22 hr flights are the normal for some destinations! SYD to DFW is 16hrs+ non-stop

    Hi Chris, hey I just google search the Days Inn at Aurora and its showing as permanently closed and its not showing on the Days Inn website although the one at Denver International is showing. You may want to check your booking.

    Great British humour is one way to describe it.... Oh yeah Skip! I would like to that Paul, Nick, Arron and Mr Vicary for the hours of fun and exciting driving skills provided on T3. My work colleagues are now ready to certify me for my love of twisty weather events.

    Here is our group shot which was kindly taken by fellow Aussie chaser Daniel Shaw, after an amazing chase day.

    I've got the hairdryer issue covered this time, I brought my own, given I had to go 3 hotels in a row without one 2 years ago. Not a good scenario for a girl. Although I'm sure you guys are meaning something else in your ribbing of Mr Vicary I arrived in Dallas this afternoon. Hotel has put on a party with free bbq and live music

    Will that mean tan topping up and shopping time then... JOKE!

    I love Paul's comment of "watch that tree" at around 1.42mins in
  15. CycloneGail
    LOL Andy at least you'll be going home to "fingers crossed" some warmer weather, I'll be a heading home to 3 months of winter temps Will have the gloves and scarf packed for the 6.30am arrival home in Sydney on 12 June.

    Mines arrived! Excitement is building I need some warmer weather again as its getting chilly down here

    Wow Paul, you'll be racking up the miles very quickly this year by the look of things if your aiming for Illinois by Monday. Have a great time, hopefully you'll bag a wedge and see you in a couple of weeks. To all the new chasers - hope you have a blast

    It will also depend on how trigger happy you get with the shutter button And memory cards seem to be cheaper in the US, and no doubt there will be a Wally Mart run done a some point

    Hi Tom, I shoot in Raw and JPEG with the JPEG set to Large and Fine. It just means that the file sizes will be larger so you will probably need a few cards to get you through the tour. You can then tweak them in Lightroom / Photoshop as required. Are you planning on taking anything to be able to download the images at the end of the day, if so, you may want to consider an external hard drive as well.

    Any details for the 2016 chase season yet???

    We've been getting our own late storm season this week in Sydney. The week started off with an East Coast Low (which is basically a pseudo cyclone but colder) and then yesterday a massive hail storm: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3054996/When-day-turned-WHITE-Blue-Mountains-Sydney-hit-giant-hail-storm-turns-streets-icy.html Now we are being warned that the models are showing another ECL developing mid week.

    Well I'm finally all sorted. First 2 nights accom now book. Going posh at the Omni in Downtown. Esta all approved. Segway tour of Dallas booked. And as I've just found out comic con starts in Dallas on 29 May, think I may get a ticket to that as well. Just need to get some USD cash before the Aussie dollar nose dives again. Will need a holiday after the holiday I think Now we just need mother nature to play nice

    Hi Jonathan, check out the thread on Dogtag Travel Insurance as they cover storm chasing holidays for all you UK locals. I'm on T3 as well and am also booked into the Best Western the night before, but I'm still trying to get 2 nights accomm downtown as am actually arriving 3 days early on 27 May to do some sightseeing in Dallas (plus my flight is almost 16hrs direct and crosses the date line so jetlag can be a bit of a mare). Only 60 days to go!!
