    I'm not a storm chaser, but I think your video gives a good representation of all the time spent studying cloud formations, trying to find a good vantage point, etc. Maybe someday I'll book a place on a chasing expedition..., (I'm from New England..., we don't often get such dramatic skyscapes as you folks!)

      This video is really popular (it's the title). I have others on actually intercepting a tornado (or several!) I did have a season or two of running a "expedition" a while back. Yes, part of the fun of a storm chase is figuring out roads, escape routes, avoiding chaser convergence and just the math of storm motion. All of this on top of using meteorology and simply watching the sky!

    This happened when I was living in Lawton the first time and we had to go down into the locker rooms at my church and the goodyear plant took damage. I was 14 and it was scary

    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.

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

    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......

      Those positive strikes are SERIOUS! They can pack 10 times the power that a normal negative flash can cause. And even in the distance you can TELL, they are some LOUD MOs :O ⛈🌩

    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.
