USA Storm Chasing Expedition - 23 April, 2010
![]()
Heading for south east Texas. Not the best
place to chase.
![]()
A new addition.... What could it be.
![]()
An amateur radio. Incredible price.. I used
to sell these at Dick Smith Electronics many years ago.
Now with the proper antenna, I can listen to other chasers tracking movements
and potential life threatening events.
The internet can be too unreliable for chasing. Old fashioned techniques take
precedence.

I see clouds.
![]()
2 x Tornado warned storms on radar..
![]()
This was a smaller storm, which was only
severe warned.. (over 1" hail - minimum to be severe warned)
![]()
A little base rotation, not enough for a
tornado warning...
![]()
But...
![]()
A little suprise...
![]()
Mammatus cloud formations.
![]()
Aren't they amazing to look at.

You don't get this in Sydney all too often
(or at all)
![]()
Weird eh?
![]()
Heading South West.
![]()
Found a break between storms.. There was
rotation on the back storm, so too dangerous to enter the core.
![]()
Catching up with the system.
![]()
The back end of the target storm.
![]()
A little light left.
![]()
Caught up to it finally.
![]()
My car looking very comfortable.
![]()
Off I go to track it down.
![]()
A little lowering of the base.
![]()
Wrong exposure.. but hey...

This cell was very active.. Amazing
lightning, but not many places to pull off..
Trees blocked the view most of the time.
