Here's a link to the site created by a bunch of storm chasers working with KWCH TV-12 out of Wichita, KS.
http://www.kwch.com/weather/chaserradar/
As I type, there are severe thuderstorms dropping hen's egg-sized hail about twenty miles south of me and I'm watching the south side of the storm in real time through the dashboard mounted camera of the KansasTwisters.com team as they try to catch up to the storm. When the SHTF, this site can be pretty interesting as you hear - live - the chasers getting all ramped up during the chase.
On the initial page that opens, I'm 30 miles east of Salina. Patterson is near Manhattan.

Storms are splitting to go around me here, and Cody, the KansasTwister chaser apparently has a newb with him because they're in 70 mph winds blowing across the road in their headlights and she' already "done". "Had enough!" LOL

Storm cell just SE of me about twenty miles, storm chaser has a tornado on the video, on the ground. Good picture of a fairly large vortex.

I watched about 5 hrs worth of 'Storm Chasers' on Green Planet channel last night. That Reed Timmer dude really knows his stuff. Before it's over with, he's gonna be a legend in storm chasing.

Dated a women once that had a hell of a large vortex... ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif)

LOL sloppy 23rds?
This is a pic, again looking down my street, at the top of this cell, thirty-some miles away...
and this is what was underneath it, a pic of the screen shot from the chaser camera...
which later devolved into this menacing looking wall cloud dropping down, but never becoming much
On second thought, Tim, if that girl you spoke of had something hanging down, she weren't no girland that weren't no vortex. ![[Eek!]](eek.gif)

Heard my first tornado sirens yesterday....it was weird and erie. I was at the outlet on Milford and they had just shut down the tube so the fishing was pretty good. Pulled in a ton of blue cats. Anyways, That storm was building to the south. Could hear thunder and see some clouds but was sunny and calm where we were. Off in the distance you could hear a siren fire up. Only went for 5 minutes maybe. Was weird to hear it down in the hole at the base of the damn. Echoed around pretty good. About half the people there picked up and ran to their cars lol. Nothing was close though. I dont know if it was Junctions siren or where it was? or even why it went off. I dont think anything was close or coming at junction?? who knows.
Radio keeps saying its supposed to get crazy tonight. We shall see

I'm in a hotel in Branson and just checked the radar. yep, that line of storms is crazy looking. Hopin it won't hold together before it gets here, but it looks like it might.
When those sirens sound, be looking. A tornado can touch down anywhere within, say, 20-25 miles of what they see on radar. I've seen them rope out back behind from under the storm base and the touchdown is actually back in a sunny area the storm just passed over.

You guys have got me all mixed up now, especially you Tim. I thought a Vortex was a riflescope. (LOL)

I thought about asking about outflow, but I thought better of it. I suppose next we're going to get all schooled up on the ratings system??? Hmmm...what exactily is an F5??? ![[Wink]](wink.gif)
Posted by Leonard (Member # 2) on June 22, 2011, 02:24 PM:
Wait a minute', that sounds very similar to posts by member Oracle! Suspiciously similar. What exactly is an F5? What indeed?

Okay, never mind, your IP checks out. Welcome back.

Aw, c'mon, coyote killer. It was pretty funny!!
I'm always had a soft spot for word play and double entendres. He was just funnin' with us some.
Besides, you don't exactly hear me on the radio every day, but yet I did presume to sing 'Werevolves'.
