IRC Problems
Saturday, September 6, 2008
Watched my first live chase!
I watched my first live storm chase at: www.severestudios.com/livechase
The person chasing was Steve Miller, at first I thought he would head towards the main cell developing in the Texas Panhandle, but He drove in the opposite direction. We agreed on IRC that he must know something that we don't.
After 1-2 hours of driving, 3 random cells developed out of no where. GR3 was reporting 4" hail, but it overestimates the size of hail all the time. The cells had very intense reflectivity and precipitation. The main cell also half merged with another cell, but they separated again.
NOTE: THE FOLLOWING IMAGES BELONG TO STEVE MILLER, I TAKE NO CREDIT FOR THEM!

I think that is either a wall cloud or a scud cloud, I don't know enough about chasing to tell the difference.
This image shows the high base, as well as the edge of the cell.
Here you can see me asking some noobish questions on irc. I don't think that was a tornado, just rain or a low cloud, since it didn't appear to be rotating, and there was no debris cloud.
Lastly here is my favourite image. Steve was under the cell, and the clouds had that twisting shape.
REMEMBER: I TAKE NO CREDIT FOR THESE IMAGES, THEY BELONG TO STEVE, HE STREAMED THEM!
Thats all folks!

Hurricane Gustav
Last week I decided randomly to download some doppler radar software, and stumbled on GRLevel3. It is really good software and is worth buying.
So I thought I was tracking thunderstorms in Louisiana, but I hadn't heard of Hurricane Gustav. So the next day I opened up GRLevel3 and noticed what was happening.
Here are some images of the storm:
To get a better view I switched to long range reflectivity.
I recorded speeds of around 120-130mph, which made it a category 3.
But after it had spent some hours over land, it lost a lot of its shape:
The blue boxes are flood warnings, the red boxes are Tornado Warnings.
Thats all for now!

Welcome
Welcome to my Storm Blog, I am only 15, so I can't go out and storm chase(yet). I will mainly be uploading interesting pictures, and writing about what I have learned. I might also put up some tutorials, but I need to understand the stuff first :P
