Hello all, Working on a TV documentary about extreme weather in the UK in 2012. Trying to hoover up as much interesting video footage as I can find. Anyone got any good stuff? Obviously we will pay for whatever we use. Drop me an email, nick.gilbert@dsp.tv - if you see this before July 13.

Hello folks, I have finally got round to looking through all of my photos from this years storm chase! Here is part 1: [b]Texas - 9th May - 2009. [/b] After landing at Dallas Ft Worth airport we were straight after the storms. What better way to start than seeing our first supercel. A low precipitation (LP) supercell base: [img]http://www.scotphotos.co.uk/Stormchasing/8thMayTexas/LPsupercell.JPG[/img] Then a High precipitation supercell straight after!: [img]http://www.scotphotos.co.uk/Stormchasing/8thMayTexas/HPsupercell.JPG[/img] The lightning and rotation from this supercell was incredible and we were all very surprised that it never quite managed to drop a tornado. The HD footage is very nice, but due to file sizes limits i've only uploaded the video to youtube in standard format. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WZtuZwLxj94[/media] The supercell then made its way to the town of Brownwood, Texas where we later found out was heavily damaged by large hail.

Still the odd sunset to see however; [img]http://www.scotphotos.co.uk/Stormchasing/10thMayTexas/panhandlesunset.JPG[/img] [b]12th May 2009 - Again, Texas! [/b] This was probably one of the best storm days of my life. I'll let the pictures do most of the explaining... Convection initiated: [img]http://www.scotphotos.co.uk/Stormchasing/12thMayTexas/convection1.JPG[/img] A storm fired and we were off! A dust storm initiated as the storm dragged in the moisture. Spot the lucky hidden lightning strike in thise first photo: [img]http://www.scotphotos.co.uk/Stormchasing/12thMayTexas/Duststorm1cg.JPG[/img] I have video of this storm as the dust reduced visibility to only a few yards but as yet i still need to upload it. [img]http://www.scotphotos.co.uk/Stormchasing/12thMayTexas/duststorm2.JPG[/img] As we chased the storm we saw an amazing base which contrasted against the red fields. [img]http://www.scotphotos.co.uk/Stormchasing/12thMayTexas/supercellbase.JPG[/img] A quick gustnado then whipped up some dust [img]http://www.scotphotos.co.uk/Stormchasing/12thMayTexas/Gustnado.JPG[/img] Then a lowering [img]http://www.scotphotos.co.uk/Stormchasing/12thMayTexas/lowering.JPG[/img] Finally, the chase led us to Childress, Texas where we witnessed some amazing structure, a possible tornado, the vortex 2 project with its associated many DOW trucks. Oh and some nice lightning and mammatus... [img]http://www.scotphotos.co.uk/Stormchasing/12thMayTexas/childress1.JPG[/img] A very small funnel starting to form? [img]http://www.scotphotos.co.uk/Stormchasing/12thMayTexas/childress2funnel.JPG[/img] Oh, and maybe a tornado? [img]http://www.scotphotos.co.uk/Stormchasing/12thMayTexas/possiblenado.JPG[/img] The Weather Channel/ Discovery Channel filming next to the team. [img]http://www.scotphotos.co.uk/Stormchasing/12thMayTexas/weatherchannel.JPG[/img] Then some nice mammatus and lightning. [img]http://www.scotphotos.co.uk/Stormchasing/12thMayTexas/mammatus.JPG[/img] [img]http://www.scotphotos.co.uk/Stormchasing/12thMayTexas/IMG_4789.JPG[/img] [img]http://www.scotphotos.co.uk/Stormchasing/12thMayTexas/lightning1.JPG[/img] [img]http://www.scotphotos.co.uk/Stormchasing/12thMayTexas/lightning2.JPG[/img] [img]http://www.scotphotos.co.uk/Stormchasing/12thMayTexas/lightning3.JPG[/img] [img]http://www.scotphotos.co.uk/Stormchasing/12thMayTexas/lightning4.JPG[/img] [img]http://www.scotphotos.co.uk/Stormchasing/12thMayTexas/lightning5.JPG[/img] And then finally, an amazing video of a lightning bolt landing within a few feet of us. (You cant see the lightning but you can defo hear it!!!!) [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ma36Omijp2E[/media] Well, that was my first blog entry.
