Arizona Chase Day 1 - 17th August 2011

[Paul Sherman]

Chase Day 1 about to kick off, all had a swim at the Hotel with temps of 106f in Phoenix, the cell below is starting to crank up along with some tasty storms down to our South East. Barons all working so wish us luck.

Best of luck Paul & team, hope all goes to plan!

Got on a great Storm just south of Superior on Highway 177 - Some cracking Daytime Lightning shots to be uploaded, unfortunately looks like Storms will not impact our location for night-time photography but plenty of days left for that. Have a nice storm about 50 miles to our South near Casa Grande but dont think it will make it.

On my way to Gatwick in about an hour to fly to Florida and then on to Belize and Honduras!

I hope i catch some great storms out there!

Nicely done Craig, can't get my head around the 8 hours time difference. Guess it was 10.30ish for you when you posted this?

Hows the tan coming on?

[craig1uk]

Cheers Ian, yep the time difference is a mind f*** alright, think chillis on our second night on tour 1 and thats pretty much where I was last night ! The tan ? You'd hardly know I've been in the desert !
