Update From Paul S on Ian's account We are sitting tight in Gainsville and have elected not to Chase the stupid fast moving Supercell about 60 miles North of here, our attention is drawn to a new storm that is going to track near to Sherman, we will move east on 82 and watch it come to us. Paul Sherman

Hi Guys We are in Woodys Bar in Pratt having Refreshments at the moment before our Overnight stay in Witchita (Ks) in readiness for tomorrow. Have had a very Sobering day in Greensburg today, some of the guys have done some interviews with locals who were in tears and brought us to tears with stories, the place still looks like Ground Zero and we have some very sombering Photo shots. Paul, Nick and Michael will post our target later today, but all the guys are raring to go for tomorrow. Ian Cameron

RE the not liking flying why not chase a few storms in northen france they may not be as big as the ones state side however you get good lightning storms even from these shores looking out towards france I now a few members that chase around there and get some good shots in the summer months Ian

just thought I'd bump this back up to the front page again a good insight on the whole trip last year of your thoughts Ian

I great read for all the new chasers coming out this year it really gives you an insight to what to expect and will give you some handy tips I thought it was right on the money Ian

That is bloody brilliant! Will try to memorise that and sing it when we are Pished in DFW After his Birthday Meal on the Sunday Night! Paul S

Hiya folks thanks for the kind words so far it's really good to know that the trip will be followed avidly while we are out state side. All your thoughts and input while we are out there is really encoureging for us knowing people back home are getting enjoyment from what we are able to post and share with you all.

Good link there SS I think the it shows you how futile trying to interfer with mother nature is, In my opinion it is stupid to think man could manipulate mother nature and control or at least deflect storms it's a very dangoures game they play!! and have these boffins looked into what will happen to all this soot there planning to release into the atmosphere Ian Cameron
