Wow

That means I have to get you to the Airport for 945am Let's Hope there is not an Outbreak anywhere further North than Southern Kansas on the 31st May

Paul S

Edit: What time is your flight on the 1st June DUB ??

15.05 Paul, hope thats ok.

[Paul Sherman]

Yep

No worries, the Changeover days are usually spent at the airport saying our goodbyes and hellos etc. Just means if we have any early departures we cant take any liberties with Chase Targets on the Last Day of the Chase, At the end of Tour 2 last year we were Chasing in the Oklahoma Panhandle and made a 350 Mile drive back to DFW On the Morning of flight day to get people back in time for 3 hours before flights etc, wont have that luxury if people have morning flights and that is why I asked, it's good to know in advance so thanks for your replies.

Keep the Vids coming Pat they are great, the Lightning in the Quinah Storm in 2009 was like a Disco, sometimes it is easier to see the road when there is sooo much Lightning at Night.

[Paul Sherman]

And now to 2010 which was an Extraordinary Year for Supercells and Tornadoes, The 1st Chase for Netweather was on April 29th in Kansas

April 30th Saw a Late High Risk Issued for the Arklatex following that another High Risk on 1st May 2010 which gave us the De Witt Wedge Tornado - Andy P has Pictures of this.

6th May saw us Chase a Lone Supercell near Salina (Kansas) which gave us the Hope Tornado

10th May saw another High Risk this time for Oklahoma - This was the hardest Chase of the year with Storm Motions between 60-75mph at times

11th May saw us targeting Woodward in the Oklahoma Panhandle and a beautiful LP Supercell

12th May we switch back to HP Supercells in Western Oklahoma but Miss the Clinton Tornado due to Flat Tyres and Spider Bites

Onto the 14th May and South of Lubbock we get onto a Line of HP Supercells which give us amazing Lightning Opportunities

The 18th May saw a Moderate Risk for the Oklahoma and Texas Panhandle and we stuck tight to a HP Supercell near Dumas and Stinnett and saw 3 Tornadoes

The 19th was Changeover Day but yet another High Risk was Issued for Oklahoma, once again the Netweather Team did very well and witnessed 4 Tornadoes

- Tornado Number 1 near Prague (Oklahoma)

- Classic Stage Supercell near Wynewood (Oklahoma)

- Multi Vortex Tornado with Mesocyclone & RFD

- HP Supercell near Joy (Oklahoma)

- Developing Tornado Number 4

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

That is just the 1st Half of the 2010 Season will Upload the next half tomorrow which includes even more amazing Supercells and Tornadoes including the Picturesque Campo Tornado and Sick Supercell Structure.

You guys are in for a treat this year :smiliz19:

Just checking this is the correct hotel in Dallas -

http://book.bestwest...selectedHotels=

People who need to apply for ESTA's will need this for their application. It costs $14. Those who've been before your ESTA lasts 2 years so you're sorted

https://esta.cbp.dhs.gov/

Going to book my room for the 28th.

Claire - if you're flying out on the 28th also you wanna share a room that night to and go exploring Dallas with me the next day?

Hi Jo, I replied to your FB message but Yes. I'm not sure after last year I should be allowed to get a train into Dallas but happy to go exploring with you . Are you sharing a room already on the Tour ?

[Dorsetbred]

classic post

Oh Pat, do treat him gently, remember punishment is sitting on the front fender looking out for the smokies like Tyson

And the idea of initiation of leaving him in a field close to a touchdown or being pounded by 1" hail should not be entertained (until at least day 6!)

[Supercell 89]

Finally managed to get these photos from last year to load. Seeing as their is all this weather porn popping up i thought i'd join .

- First tornado on Tour 4 on the CO & OK border on 31st May 2010

- Second Tornado on the CO & OK border

- The same storm after it had dropped all 3 twisters.

- Nebraska HP Supercell with some very large hail!

- Taken overlooking the Missouri River as a storm rumbled overhead in South Dakota, did an awesome core punch later on the day!
