Cue Twister theme song….
And 3, 2, 1… I’m no longer tornado-less!!!!!! It was happy times, Chris McBee showed me around Oklahoma (pretty much ALL of the state), and I got to see not only one tornado, but FIVE, including the double-twisters that briefly spawned. In fact, I think the conversation went a little something like this: Shane (driver):…
North(west)word!!
With any luck, in the next few hours my tornado-less days will be over. I’m more nervous than anything. This is it!! Wednesday-Friday were just teases! Our target area is currently NW Oklahoma, but that could change at a moment’s notice and up to Kansas we’ll go. Did I mention there’s a camera guy on…
Some drives are worth it
So here I am, wide awake in Salina, KS at 6:40am. (that’s 5:40 for those of you following at home) I guess getting up at 4 yesterday really messed up my rhythm. Let me tell you, never do a drive as long as this by yourself. This will be my one and only attempt at…
OZ goes West
Caught my first western storm this evening. It was my first real chase with someone who knew what they were doing, which helped a ton! We also drove to an area I had decided on if I had been chasing by myself. The storm went tornado-warned, and I got to hear sirens for the first…
Check, double-check
I’m sitting here at the mechanic, having them give my car a once-over. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with it, but better to find out now than have Bubba on I-nowhere tell me my car is in a better place, and I’m stuck in bumble world forever. I also stocked my emergency bag with…
Weekenders, beware!
Guess where I’m going this weekend? If you guessed crazy, you’re WRONG! I’m already there. This weekend I’ll be making the long drive to Oklahoma (where the wind comes yada yada yada….) to catch my first twister! But looking at this week’s upcoming weather pattern, I have an incredibly decent chance of catching a tornado…
Batter Up
And with that, it’s baseball season. You can take the girl away from Philly, but you can never take the Philly out of the girl. GO, PHILS! (Sorry, Rockies)
Thundersnow? Probably a no.
Well, it’s April. And it’s freezing out. But I refuse to turn the heat on, as tomorrow it’ll be close to 60° and the weekend will be back to downright perfect. Still no storms, though. But today TX got their weather’s worth. Semis tossed like toys. Tornadoes springing up across the radar. Almost 3,500 lightning…
