My son will be storm chasing today

MajorCaptSilly · 04-10-2013, 07:46 AM

My son is studying meteorology at IU and has been an amateur storm chaser since high school days. I used to be his driver and saw some cool stuff. Anyway, he's tracking some stuff that shows a very good chance of tornados in Southern IL this afternoon. Assuming his equipment works well, he will be streaming his chase around 3:30PM CT this afternoon. Here's the link if you want to follow the chase:

That's sounds interesting MCS. Weather is a fascinating thing to watch. Safe travels and good luck to him and his crew.

I think that would be an awesome job....a bit dangerous, but you would get to see some really cool events. I'm a bit jealous of your son today, Scott.

CigarNut · 04-10-2013, 08:14 AM

Very cool!

Blueface · 04-10-2013, 08:24 AM

Way cool!

Tell Nate to stay safe. I hope he has a great time and gets some great data and footage. But tell him that safety is paramount.

I am a little worried as I have always been his driver. Since he's leaving out of Bloomington and I have work to do today, he has a friend driving for him. I do know when we chased in years past, he always had escape routes planned out and even told me which way to park the car. He's pretty cautious about his chasing, so I think he'll stay safe.

Absolutely awesome MCS! I too am very jealous of your son today, one of the things to do on the bucket list for me. Holy Cow that show storm chasers is intense, will be watching the feed!

Feed is up. He is driving to IL right now.

Well, I guess it's better to chase storms than to have storms chase you.

Best of luck to him, in all ways.

Blueface · 04-10-2013, 01:24 PM

Scott, I can't get it up.
Seriously.

Do you know any app for iPad that will stream it?
Tried Safari, Puffin and Skyfire with no luck.

Carlos, I can PM you a spam I got today for generic Viagra from a Canadian pharmacy.

maninblack · 04-10-2013, 01:33 PM

I've always been fascinated by tornadoes and severe weather. Praying for safe travels and some good footage.

Awesome!

MajorCaptSilly · 04-10-2013, 02:10 PM

He's going dark for about an hour as he's having some battery issues.

MajorCaptSilly · 04-10-2013, 02:36 PM

And...it's back up.

Nate's website is having issues due to the traffic.

You can go to the link below and find his feed in IL:

He says he will be getting into some severe stuff in about a half hour.
