| Here is
Patrick driving in the middle of a downpour! Arrow
indicates our position on the screen! Thanks to
Samantha Lawrence for the use of this picture! |
Here is
one of 2 confirmed tornado's this day in Guymon, OK.
This one was video captured by Bob Eaton. No one knew
for sure it touched down until he went back to look at his
video tape! Nice grab Bob!! |
Here I am
trying to explain storms to the Indigo film crew. They
were with us on this tour, and their footage became the TV
show Tornado Alley USA which aired on the Travel Channel in
2007! Thanks to Samantha Lawernce for the picture! |

| Patrick
Martin took this picture. He and I drove van 2 for
Silver Lining Tours in 2007. Great storm structure!! |
Baron
mobile threat net is just one piece of software we use to
track storms. Here is a close up of a screen showing
us heading west into the storm. |
Here is
the film crew from Indigo films. A great bunch of guys
who were a blast to chase with! |

 |
| I had
Patrick Martin take this picture. With the storm in
the background and my tornado tattoo. Thanks Patrick!! |
Another
shot here by Patrick. We punched a HUGE lightning
storm and had to stop and take pictures. Great shot! |
Again,
here I am trying to explain storms to the Indigo film crew.
This never made it to air, but it was fun to be in front of
the camera! Thanks to Samantha for this picture! |

| With
Patrick driving, I am in the passenger seat pouring over
data. As you can see we are using the Baron system and
we are headed west into the tornado warned storm! (the red
block indicates a tornado warned county while yellow would
indicate severe thunderstorm. Sam, thanks again for
the picture!! |
Ah yes...
the problematic CB radio! Here Patrick and I are
trying to frantically reestablish radio communications
between vans as it is crucial. We ended up fixing the
issue. Picture credit goes to Samantha again! |
Our last
day chasing, we found ourselves in New Mexico.
Although we did not get to see any tornado, we got a
beautiful treat! A double rainbow!! We drove
back to Denver, CO later that night with a 3 am arrival
time! OY!!! |
