  • For those of you wondering what a storm chase is like, here is an example from April 17th. This all happened in the 6:30 - 8:00 p.m. time frame, very typical for storm chasing. The procedure, narrative, positioning and decision-making are all about the same in every chase. In this case, I intercepted two tornado-warned storms in southwestern Oklahoma.

    OK, I just looked at your channel description, which confirmed what I thought. I grew up in the Ozarks and remembered you from KOLR, channel 10 from my growing-up years back in the 70's and 80's.

    That CG flash at 3:43 was definitely a positive strike. Anyone that got hit in the area of the CG strike there would have been immediately fried, electrocuted and killed!!!

      7:40 mark - If I were an official chaser, I see that the wall cloud from L to R is trying to create possibly an enormous EF4 RWT (rain-wrapped tornado)......I am seeing evidence of developing funneling from L to R......

      Yes, this pronunciation has dogged me for a while. It's an old video but I need to make a correction somehow.

    I am trying to call myself "The Human Convective Calculator" seeing this video of this meso here. (Meso - is known as a mesocyclone - or a supercell - or a thunderstorm containing rotating updrafts.) Guessing the tops are up to probably 50,000 feet or so and the CAPE - assuming surface based - up to 4,000 or more j/kg. LI is up to -10, showalter to -8 to -9, and the K index is off the chart - up to 38-40. Lapse rates between 8 to 9 c/km.
