Catcha guys later! Peace!
hey guys....
my site is now finished with the chasers lol :P
and ill be designing some logo's for the site at school tomorrow so would like some votes on what is best please!!
Nice video!
Kenny nice site..... how do get a photo on your banner?
Yeah, that is pretty cool. Since I have never been in a tornado, or a Hurricane can you guys tell me which one is more intense? I am sure they are different, but can you compare the howling of the winds, or anything to try and compare? Thanks
Tim!!! How can you forget me!!! I'm the one and only bike chaser!! even though I'm in canada, but stil!!
Caleb. When you've logged in go to edit my site then go down a bit and find where it says edit my title and images. go down to the bottom and it'll say Logo and then you upload your image there.
ah kenny lol cant forget you lol
looks as if the cell brady has been chasing is startingto die out, and its probably gone to far north for him now.... hope it was good for him though
Wow quiet night lol is yone here??
Will: A tornado is definitely more intense, but the force is concentrated over a much smaller area...which probably enhances the damage caused given the massive wind accelerations that occur. The sound of a violent tornado is very similar to that of a massive water fall..When chasing a tornado you don't to be within the circulation, or you'll probably be airborne!
The effects of a hurricane are spread out over a much larger area...and chasing them is extremely difficult and can be dangerous since you have to be within the heavy rain, wind, and possibly storm surge to document them. Visibility is very poor since really all you can see is horizontal rain.
To very different experiences that's for sure.
Hey I'm back!! That was a heck of a trip!! Caught a lil lightning earlier, then some pretty cool clouds!! everything seems to be rotating a little but not strong at all!! Maybe I can grab some more in a bit!! I'm uploading now so it'll be a bit!!
Here's a lil taste!!^^
Here's another!!
Will a tornado can go over 318 mph and a heracain can go over 156 mph
Hehe!! I keep taking great photos!! It's awesome!! hehe
Well at least were getting a little rain. Not much more then that but we sure won't complain about the moisture. Sure wish there would have been some storms :(
Brady that second one is the best multi-vortex tornado impersonation I have ever seen!
What the heck was that??? Rain?
Reed - thanks so much for posting the video up on the blog. The winds weren't as fierce as Sepat, the massive mountains in central Taiwan probabley sheltered us from the worst.
Thanks for the comments!
Great video James. I would imagine it was fun but yet adventorous :)
Well Today was nice, TWN/EC's forecast for temps = 18C, turned out to be 22C. Haven't had rain yet and so far it doesn't look like I will get anything.
Brady, Brady!! You should start getting the camera ready or whatever! You got a nice line coming straight for Duluth. Hope ya get some nice lightning shots!!
I just got back from a nice lightning vid trip!! I scored good!!
Andrew!! It wasn't rain!! I followed that from Canyon all the way to Island lake!! It was a line that was pushing south east against the main storm system!! I think it could have been the world smallest multi- vortex tornado!! It was up drafting awesome!! Just didn't have any power!! I gotta go back out and get this storm that followed me home!!
hey guys....
Nice one Brady!!! ive uploaded the pictures onto the site for you, theres a new page so they are on there, chase logs! glad you got a good chase this weekend lol
Thanx Tim!! Have a good day!! I need to crash!! I gotta be up in 4hrs!!hehe Now that the the flood watch is out, I can sleep a lil!! I got under the lightning really good!! But I really need a cam for that stuff!!
This is why I need to see a real tornado!! So I don't get so excited over this s#@t!! hehe G nite All!!
