Quick Update

I recently bought www.tornadofarm.com and should be working on it this winter. My focus shifts to next weekend as a potential chase seems possible. If there is such a chase, then I will be updating this thing on the road.

I let my parents borrow my video camera to film the baby for their week stay in Colorado, when I get it back, I will post some video of the cold-core action last Thursday. (just bought a new external HD for this purpose).

ALSO, coming very soon, a DVD to be released by Matt Jacobs , Darin Brunin, and I.

Still thinking of a title, but we have got it nailed down to a few. I'm almost done with the cover. Here are a few random photos from the last couple of weeks.

I'm an Uncle!

As of 8:22 p.m. last night, my little baby sister Brianne had a 6 lb 2 oz baby girl. She named it Kiera Emery! I can't wait to see her, as I will be posting pictures of her as soon as I do.

Darin Brunin and I chased NC KS last Thursday, and got a couple of funnels, but no tornadoes. We refined our target to Hays KS in the early morning, and got there at about 12:30. Followed our first storm of the day, and missed the Russell storm due to our storm arghhh. By the time we got on the Russell storm, it produced a funnel half-way to the ground, but never would touch. We jumped on a couple more tornado-warned cells that failed, before getting on one near Culver, KS. It was then we ran into Jon Davies and watched a funnel which refused to touch. I called it in, and SPC has it listed as a tornado, but to the best of our knowledge, it wasn't. When I have some time (I am nearly busy from 9 am to 9 pm every day now) I will post some pictures.

This is why I chase

Busts don't seem so hard when you have a day like yesterday. I will be posting more pictures.

Sunset

My girlfriend and I witnessed a beautiful sunset last night at Gardner Lake south of Olathe. A picture really can't capture the beauty one sees. I purchased the 50 mm lens from Canon today, for the price (about 75) the sharpness is amazing, especially in low light.
