You guys ever afraid of gettin struck by lightning? thx for the vid!
Great vid guys!
That lightning strike reminds me of the day i lost my US tornado virginity. Remember when we were watching those storms come up from Texas and lightning struck the fence metres from the car! Martin got that great photo of the upward leader.
I echo Cors ... and I love how you conveniently left the whole lightning thing out of your trip details! You could at last warn us about it next time, alright?! :D
That storm really gave you some time for spectating. Pretty cool.
HAHA! Yeah that lightning stroke was intense.
That storm was a CG producing machine...definitely not safe to stand outside there.
We've had them strike so close you can feel the heat from the bolt. What makes lightning so scary is that you can't predict where it will strike.
Great Video.
Thanks .
Nice lightning strike, that wake you up? Like the ringtone you got there on you phone too :) Was that two tornadoes or two parts of the same system?
Great chase guys. Reed, I loved your reaction to the lightning strike ha ha. That made my day. thanks bro lol
Yes, Reed's reaction to the lightning strike was priceless... LOL...
Reed's reaction to the lightning bolt reminds me of the time I got caught out in a severe storm and a lightning bolt struck so close to me that it literally knocked me to the ground. Arghhhh...
Amazing system...that wall cloud was incredible!!
i know some of you are disappointed with the "lack" of storms yesterday, but the SPC's moderate risk area did happen to be right on the ball. Good job on their part
The rotating wall clouds were absolutely AMAZING on Wednesday!!! No need for time-lapse shots with this one...I guess the only question was why was the rotation itself so pronounced but yet had quite a hard time getting organized for tight tornadogenisis? Clearly LCLs aren't the only factor!
Yeah the SPC has been doing a GREAT job this entire season.
dat was an INTENSE supercell...wow!
Wow, what a cool video. It looked like two white fingers coming outta the clouds, you guys get the best videos ive ever seen.
Awsome video, I love this kind of footage. That supercell looked massive, and very cool to see that wall cloud move very rapidly, like Ilya said no time-lapse needed for this video. One of kind footage.
One question; i would be very scared for lightning espacially on a landscape with no obstacles at all. Are u guys never scared of getting hit by lightning?
Hey Wouter...we're always afraid of the lightning...When CGs are very frequent, we try to stay in the vehicle.
super cool. stay safe.
hey reed....what all do you use for locating storms...i went with a laptop with wireless yesterday and had a dinky phone radar and I ended up getting trapped in a bad hail storm while i was watching potential funnels tease me and my windows almost shattered...im just curious what you use, where i can get it, and how much it all would cost?
That monster is crazy looking. Great video!
That was one crazy video. You guys are so good at chasing super cells and tornadoes. Keep it up!!
Yeah indeed Reed, best place is in the car:
proof is this amazing video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lUUOdO6eEZA&mode=related&search=
Visiting The National Weather Center right now!! Sitting at Reed's computer. No storms to chase at the moment.
Oh no Reed - someone else to block. Are you going to Nebraska tomorrow? Hi Cortney.
Chris, if for some reason you have a problem with Caleb, stop being so immature and take it up with him somewhere else. Caleb, if Chris continues to do things like this, I suggest you just ignore him. Responding to him will only make things worse.
Things are getting intresting on Saturday in Midwest and Sunday Ohio Vally and Mid alantic Couple websites are corncern is Large Hail, Damaging Winds, and Tornadoes in MidWest Saturday and Ohio Vally, Mid atlantic.
Get ready for a repeat of May 31st 1998
Antoher High Risk Day Coming Up
Does anybody think we will see action over the Weekend
Tornado reported this hour (5:00PM) in Killeen, Tx! Should we expect any other severe activity in the Central Tx. Area?
Every time I watch video on this damn site I'm seriously tempted to ditch the summer session here and make the move to Norman before the end of the season. Your website is slowly eating away at the American education system, Reed.
reed did you fix the prob?? anyway thanks
Severe Threat for OhioVally and MidAtlantic , it appears we'll have a nice instability axis with 1500 to locally 2500 j/kg of CAPE extending from eastern OH/western PA up through western and central NY late tomorrow....then displaced a little bit farther to the east by late Friday. Hard to find a real organized lifting mechanism especially since the surface boundary of interest will be undergoing frontolysis as John mentioned....but with such high CAPE's convection may very well fire along subtle convergence zones associated with lake breezes and/or terrain discontinuities.
On a side note, lots of TCU are actually popping this afternoon along the ridgetops of western PA and southwestern NY as well as along a well-defined Lake Erie breeze. It'll be interesting to see if anything can flare up this afternoon.
A possible severe weather event in the midwest on Saturday, May 26. The synoptic fields don't look too threatening, but here's why I think the threat is legitimate. There are two areas that I would put a slight risk for saturday for severe weather:
JP, you're breaking my heart with this cliffhanger. This thread is my lone distraction from VSEPR diagrams right now. Bring that funk, man.
As always the footage you fellas produce is exciting to watch. I could watch the clouds all day. Anyway wanted to wish you all a great Memorial Day weekend.
Corey-ditch wherever you are and move to Norman. The University of Oklahoma is the only school worth going to - then you can have it all.
Jen P.- I disagree.....there is a school in Columbus, OH that is worth every penny....come on out sometime....especially on a fall Saturday! O-H....
(Of course...we do not have the tornado season)
Not to burst your bubble or anything Heath, but I am one of the few people that can say I DID attend that trashy place in Columbus, Ohio for 2 years until I transferred to OU. And not a moment too soon I might add.
Anyhow, I think the previous discussion for some serious weather up here in OH was totally overblown-I haven't heard a rumble of thunder yet, and we've only gotten a few sprinkles. But we could use some decent rain!
Both of you are way off base. You haven't truly experienced a higher institution of learning until you've been teargassed while triumphantly hefting a case of Icehouse over your head and shouting incoherently at a platoon of riot-gear clad police. I'll try to bring that tradition of academic excellence to Norman when I get there this summer.
Hey guys. I was wondering about the NOAA hurricane prediction for this year. They are prediction an active hurricane season, Ofcourse we all know last year they dropped the ball cause of el nino and its shear. Personally I think we are gonna get an exteme hurricane "outbreak" due to global warming. I kept a close eye on the indian ocean earlier this year and it was insane! ps: if you dont think gobal warming is caused by humans check out the increase in forrest fires.
During Katrina i was listening to WWL radio and it was the most insane radio show i ever listened to. Thing was that apparently WWL was chosen to be the city state emergency radio station but they were used to having shows about american football and basically sports with a program that let people call in to give their perspective on things. you'll probably get my point. last thing i heard about those radio hosts is that one killed his wife.
Reed i saw that you "chased" hurricane katrina but i think and i wonder if you agree with me that this "storm" was to much for any person to cope with. I noticed ur aussie interview online and b4 it hit you sounded pretty confident about ur preparations. obviously you were wrong...but how bad did it really get for you?
ps: click my name for katrina insight (Berkeley style)
WOUTER holy schijt! Ik dacht eerst ach zal wel niet echt boeiend zijn die youtube link van jouw. My god was i wrong! peeps check out wouters lightning link.
ps: wouter maybe ken je hem al maar klik mn naam...
Yeah awsome video Cors,
I did a quick search on lightning and saw a couple cool movies:
Car hit by lightning:

hmmm..... it's quiet no postings
Wouter those vids were amazing!!
there is going to be sever weather on my mimorel
day picnic. but no one bileved me!!!
no? as i suspected, any severe outlook in the ohio region was weak. i wish i had seen something better, cause i would've chased.
I'm not sure, but we may have hit the Convective temp in CBUS. BUt the most we did get was some showers on the east side; i was at work. The visible sat showed clearing east of columbus yet nothin happened other than a line of showers. The trough didnt do anything here.
hey guys have you ever played this game!?!?!?!?!

That was a pretty strange super cell. Very violent but not much tornadic activity but I think you may have gotten something there thats a little more rare.. possibly cold air funnels attempting to touch down?
