the storm fisherman

Hi all just a quick thought before it's too late is there anything that we may wish pack to apart from the normal stormchase gear. paul h

the budgeie smuggler look is not cool but the weather is hot but it looks like weather is heading for a quite break period towards the end of the next week should work out for us with an active bust period to start our tour with.

as it is my birthday in 3 weeks time my present came today a nice new nikon D5100 all i can say thankyou family now i got a couple of weeks to learn how to drive the camera i hope it not to diffrent to the nikon d80 i had a last year. paul h

sorry but my trip starts at 11.15 am on monday 15th when i travel up to the airport hotel so me it is less than 3 weeks paul h

nice one craig just like the isleofwightweather website but for phoenix area i shall add it to my favorites. paul h

Hi Claire the best and the cheapest i have seen is by a one band outfit called patchmaster @ $107.0 (approx £70) there one arround about year ago for $200 i seem to recall. http://www.pmgadgets.com/ paul h

just for starters camera equipment question 1. i have a nikon d5100 will a lighning trigger help are we just looking at night shots i have the remote control and a tripod from previous chases. 2. will a UV filter or what type of fillter will be of benfit. 3 does anyone know what the broadband coverage is like away from the metro areas . i need to start looking at what equipment i am going to take as well as we will based in one hotel? for the stay i might just push the boat out in the luggage dept a bit . paul h

no apoligies needed i will also be asking the questions of the photographic kind ? paul h

Hi all see the nice new graphics on nws phoenix web site very colourful. lots of lovely moisture for the weekend in the east spreading west. http://www.wrh.noaa.gov/FXC/make_img.php?wfo=psr&iname=WeatherImage1L&size=1&force=no paul h

um The big texan.... but seriously my first storm chase was in rosswell,NM not too far away all we need is the right synoptics. if i was a serious betting man i bet paul could pull a tube out of the bag at some in the tour.

that is get back for our departing flights on the 27th/28th

next time if i see a flight i want but not at the price it pays to haggle over the phone if you are intrested craig i have booked a hotel room at the travle lodge in feltham for£25.00 on the monday night because i dont want to get up at 3 am to start traveling and we wont hit the sack again till at least 6am wed uk time it is easy to get to the airport from there as it is next to the rail station and loads of local buses. ps they have a bar there as well.

Hi Claire thanks for info but i have now paid for my flights . i am on same flights(AA51 TO DFW) as craig it would have been nice to all fly together nonstop . As craig has said" i need the monday to recover from the dreaded jetlag "which i also tend to suffer with more than going out and time diffrence a mere -8hrs . i will be staying in a hotel at heathrow as i do not realish getting up at 3am to get to the airport for 7am . paul h

Hi all flight booked 1 stopper via dfw fly out tues 16th fly home sat 27th 2.30pm and i will staying in a hotel overnight near heathrow prob a travel lodge paul h

Hi craig are you still going with dallas stop over as paul and claire are on the non stopper comning back sunday. not sat prices have disappeared for that flight. paul H

i am looking at this as well because of times and non stop i ve got time to make a choice the extra night at the super 8 is only £19 on hotelclub website. cheaper han my extra travel cost getting to heathrow will try book flight now no luck prices have gone. paul h

we either stick with plan a or we can rebook via ORD OUT 7.45 FLIGHT VIA DFW BACK £840 whichever way we neend to make a dicession before 24 hours runs out paul h

£25.00 heathrow central premmier inns £49.00 paul h is this perferred flight option cost now £949

Same here the transport cost to the airport was a concern till. I had a nat exp coach option

i will go normal for this trip as it is more like a sight seeing tour not much chance of major mishap like out in the plains. paul
