yeah count me in I know i am already counted but i am now throwing my cap into the arena me on the BBQ did you lot learn nothing when i did the last one lol am looking forward to meeting some new faces and some old have blow up stu to bring as well so another name to the list
Well it is my third year with net weather tours and each year is better than the last.Can i take this opportunity to thank everybody who came on tours 1&2 as they made my chase season such a wounderful time. Storm Chasing for me is 50/50storms make up 50% of it and the people make up the other 50% of it and without such lovly people the tours would not be such fun for me anyway.
As with most years I have come away with some real good freinds from the tours and look forward to seeing you all in the Autum when we get to gether for the reunion
Once again a big thank you to Paul S paul M Tom and John for tall there hard work and commitment to making this years tours such a success well doe you all bravo
Yes we are 5 Miles North of Winfield and about to let this Tornado Warned Storm head straight at us. Paul wants some Hail!! Could be rocky in about 15 Minutes Ian
Good Chase but once again the Tornadoes were Elusive. Sat on the Tail end of the Line all day and followed it South from Initiation at Enid right down to I40. But the Tail End Charlie just did not produce a Tornado as per the Storm Chasers Handbook :lol: We had fun and only drove 350 Miles all in today so not so shabby, good Lightning Shots once again as Night came.

Hiya Mick yea had lunch today felt like a stranded whale for a while last night but good now. The sun is out and 30C so hot hot hot the place is looking dryer than it did a week ago so maybe dirt roads will be an option once more, at the mo we have to big cells firing at the same time one heading straight towards us and one more to our south west
Been sitting just 30 Miles east of the dryline for about 2 hours and now we have something organising which you should be able to see on the stream
Paul S
