Chase 2010 - Day 5 Discussion

[striker]

Awesome lightning!! Made me laugh when the lads all dived for cover into the car.

[Marcus_surfer]

Hope they got some audio with that!

it must have been a tremendous clap of thunder!

[pottyprof]

This is the best footage live on netweather... WTG guys!!

[kold weather]

Hook Echo re-developing on the Pine Bluff supercell, this could be a pretty big long tracker given its showing such a strong signal for a long period of time...if I was the team I'd pull south and try and catch that one because the hook is looking pretty good IMO.

Also Warren storm still looks real potent right now, with a nice hook as well on the radar as well as a big area of heavy precip with VERY large hail (3-4 inches reported!)

Great stuff this lads.

[Ross B]

Loving this! Watching NetWeather's stream and Brandon Ivey'stream on TVN on the same cell. Exciting viewing that's for sure!

Lol, on Brandons stream one of the guys just went and stood on the car roof to get a picture of something! You won't be able to see him though as he ran up over the bonnet and is out if view

Just saw TIV go past on that to.

Really hope the NW team manage to get onto a good tor

[kold weather]

Well the set-up is only going to get more condusive for big tornadoes over the next few hours so the team have every chance, indeed the cell they are on now is starting to look increasingly good IMO, could well be a developing Hook with that one, the storm to the SW of this one still looks in great nick with a good hook Echo, currently heading towards Stuttgart.

As the other guys have said, well done to NW for this, I still remember NW first ever storm chase, its come a long way since then!

[Gorky]

The southern cell is probably the cell of the day at the moment. I know how difficult it would be to leave the current cell, especially with the SW/NE road option they have on this one!!

[ian cameron]

boys calling it a night now shall tune in again tomorrow to see how you are all doing

[MAF]
