I know you didn't ask me but I think they were taken using the lightning trigger

nONE OF THE SHOTS ARE PHOTOSHOPPED .JUST IN RAW

hi Loub.........like Ross said they where the Lightning Trigger.BUT the setting was I think around 4 sec.........Due to the Intensity..........#In all honest you dont need a Trigger with these storms at NIGHT..

F.6

CHEERS

Clinton

Looked like a crap Storm until it exploded from the only Storm in the USA...

We were the first on the scene.and PROUD of it.......Other Tours slowly made there way to the scene...

We got a nice base ball dents in the roofs of the cars...

I got hit a few times from the odd golf ball

Another spectacular Super Cell

Video shows the Mother Ship shape around the lightning...slowed this down so you can see the saucer shape.........roughly around 4.mins onwards

Part 1

Part 2

better view of the Mother Ship on this one through the car window...

And beautiful structure of the Super cell head

after the chase we all headed off to Weatherford if I remember correctly

[Jane Louise]

[Louby]

Was that real time (part 1) or did you speed things up a bit?

thx Jane..

Louby real time ...no joke ask the others on tour 1..infact i slowed it down to show you the mothership around 4.mins

these storms seem to start off slow with lightning....as evening increases they go berserk.something to do with tops cooling

May 1st 2009

My first Storm Chase experience continues.

We left Weatherford and headed Vernon,Anson....where we watched a Supercell develope around Stanford..

The video one and two is the talk of the hunt on the way for Supercell hunting...

From day one we all picked names for a Supercell..

Names were Bertha,Joshua,Kelly,Tammy,Slobervich,.these are just a few...

This was Kelly

upload this Supercell vid tomorrow

[dogs32]

last time I heard he was smoking Paul

Unfortunately YouTube as gone down so I will upload part 3 Rule TX as soon as possible..........

Meanwhile we head out in the evening again looking for Supercells....

Towards Stanford we come across two Thunderheads..through Barrons...I thought these dont look up to much...Ive learnt not to underestimate a USA thunderhead,

How wrong I was as these storms erupted after dark into a very fierce barrage of CGs..Very nasty Supercells ....

We at one point had to get the hell out of the area as an updraught went up above our heads...

With BARRONS indicating twin rotation above our heads :o

I love these pics as it shows the shelf clouds

[dogs32]
