Don't forget to check out the Storm Chasers marathon on Discovery Channel today (Saturday) starting with the very first episode of season 1 at 11:00 am Eastern!  The first four episodes feature Sean and the TIV during the record-breaking 2007 season, and we all know what happened last year.  Of course this up-coming season will blow both of them out of the water!  (airs starting this October).  AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

 

 

Also, Verne Carlson chased an INCREDIBLE long-lived supercell across multiple counties in eastern Colorado yesterday afternoon and into the evening, documenting amazing structure, huge rotating wall clouds, baseball-sized hail and dangerous straight-line winds. At one point his live video stream showed a rapidly rotating, low-hanging wall cloud, and looked as though a tornado was imminent. Radar presented a strong velocity couplet at the same time, but enormous amounts of dust being kicked up beneath the storm caused reduced visibility, so no tornado could be confirmed. Below are some photos Verne was able to grab last evening, showing wind damage to a utility pole, and a view of the back side of the anvil from near Las Animas, CO.

Reed... I am so stoked for you.. In capturing over 18 tornadoes this year myself.. Whoa! To see what you have done in the intercept mode !!! You are my hero mate! I am in awe of what we are all going to see in the upcoming episodes of storm chasers.

In the scientific mode of data.. you have accomplished so much. In the coming weeks and months, we will both see the results of the case studies and data aquired in the chases "we both will never forget" !!! My ultimate thanks to you and the TVN team for all you do...

I am still in Awe... aaahhhhh!!! of the season we have had... We just get so much more refined... Much respect my comrade...

And to all of you who contribute the data we can all learn from moving forward... You all are the true heros as we embark on the next season.. Cheers Mates !!!

Can't wait! I had them all recorded on my DVR, but lost the hard drives in there, so I lost the episodes. My DVR will be working Overtime today! :)

Also, can't wait for the series this year, especially the April 29th episode. That is going to DOMINATE!
