Wow! This guy is a "REAL STORM SPOTTER"

#1 Postby Brandon8181 » Sat Apr 21, 2012 2:09 pm

Okay....So here is the story...

I always thought I was a little bit nutty... you know how we can all get around a storm.. But, in all honesty I consider myself a responsible storm spotter. You know, I try to obey traffic law, provide accurate reports, and do NOT act like some of these "yahoos", you see how chasing..

There is a big difference between being a responsible storm spotter and a "crazy tornado chaser"!

Anyway, I've got some nice equipment which I find very useful including laptop, Baron Services satellite delivered radar, portable wi-fi internet, scanner with external attenna, cell phone, wind gage, weather radio, GPS..

But, of course everything is very organized, and very useful with severe weather approaches...

Sometimes I considered myself a little "crazy"..... Till I read about this guy...

Anyone ever ran into him....
