What can i say 23 days ago I new very little about severe weather I just new that I'd like to see some awesome storms and maybe a tornado or two this trip has enabled me to meet some fantastic people who made the first 11 days so memorable!!! the banter and the team spirit was just great B) B) mixed in with such varied storms I've learnt so much now all the gargin on net weather now makes sense.
The second 11 days saw me taking control of the barons system wich made me feel more involved and gave me an even better understanding of what knowledge you must have to make sure your in the right place and what road options you have in case the storm gets bored with being chased and starts chasing you B)
Me and Paul have covered 9 states 8500 miles and more fast food than is healthy but I feel I have gained so much from this trip so my thanks go out to Paul & Nick who never seemed to mind us all picking their brians on every cloud formation also thanks to northern light and potty prof who seemed to put more hours in than we did and persevered with the crap phone signals that you get in the US which meant not being able to return sms for hours on end and then getting straight back to us so again thanx B) B)
And also everyone that has posted words of encouragement and support you know who you are :lol: :lol:
so roll on next year where it all starts again!!!!!

Ohhhhh yes with that walk Billy Bob may evan try the 72 oz steak you never know but there will be the odd beer sunk :lol: so you allll get some sleep and I'll see how off track i can navigate me and Paul my big texan radar is now well tuned so you never know!!
Hi all
has been a long day driving through torrential rain (visibility down to around 5 metres at times) though it was all worth it as we managed to bag some awesome pics for you all when i get home and go through the video and pics I will post the best ones with a mini diary of how i saw things.
I hope you all continue to follow our progress over the next ten days or so
ps thanks to everyones kind posts and words of encouragement and maybe the odd derogatory one too B)
