Introducing The Netweather 2009 Storm Chasing Teams

[chionomaniac]

Good luck to one and all who are going chasing this year. I hope each tour catches a tornado, and everyone sees what they are going out to see. I can't wait to see the live streaming and will follow the action until the early hours over here!

Remember to keep your wits about you when stopping for fuel, keep safe and return the cars in one piece!

Just wanted to wish everyone on Tour 1 a safe journey, and a fantastic chase tour!

It's been great fun watching the buildup for you all.

Save the rest of us on Tour 2 & 3 some decent storms, though, will you? :lol: Don't keep them all for yourselves!!

all the best

It's just occuring to me that I only have a week and a half before we fly! I think now would be a good time to start thinking about getting things ready and bought really, especially as I don't have any time off before we go!!!!!

Anyway, all the very best to those on Tour 1. Only thing is don't you dare rake all the storms. Much as I am sure we would be able to find things to do I would rather not have a BSB every day. Take care and have fun. See you in 2 weeks!

Hmm, only 2 weeks more and then a real steak! :lol:

Arron Hiscox (forum username Smokes) will be joining the team on tour 3, and this is his bio:

My name is Arron Hiscox and I am 27 years old and live in Aberystwyth, West Wales. I’m a self employed sports trader, having previously worked in IT.

Extreme weather has always interested me from an early age, be it snow, wind, water etc, and would always watch any tv documentaries related to it. When I first saw footage of a tornado I was hooked! Chasing huge supercells and tornadoes was at the top of the list of the things I wanted to do in my life, but have never been in a position to be able to afford such a trip. Now I am, and after dithering about going for a few days, and with the gentle push needed from my other half and mates, I’m finally going to do it!

My weather knowledge is nothing special so am hoping to learn a lot from Paul and Nick (if they have the patience!) and my photography skills are as good as point and shoot….but even so I’m sure its going to be one of the best trips of my life. Oh, and if mother nature could do me a favour and drop a tornado on my birthday (28th May) that would be awesome! :o

[ANYWEATHER]

Arron, have a great time I know you will, youre with the best chasers there is! :huh:
