Andie Posted April 30 Report Share Posted April 30 My sister was killed on a wet highway by a drunk driver. It’s terrifying and tragic. She was an oceanographer and we lost a fine scientist. The other driver was a butcher by profession. Ironic. my life and my parents’ were changed forever. Drive safe guys. Please. There’s enough danger out there waiting for us. 6 Quote Before You Diagnose Yourself With Depression or Low Self-Esteem,...First Make Sure You Are Not In Fact, Just Surrounded By A$$holes. 2018 Rainfall - 62.65" High Temp. - 110.03* Low Temp. - 8.4* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grizzcoat Posted May 1 Report Share Posted May 1 1 hour ago, OmahaSnowFan said: Tragedy last night for 3 chasers. My biggest worry chasing is all the driving, never the storms. I was nearly killed 4 years ago next Memorial Day driving home from a chase. A jackknifed semi was blocking all lanes on I80 in the dark and rain. I came up on it driving 75 mph and only saw it when my headlights shined on the overturned trailer. I slammed on the brakes, turned hard right and somehow managed to parallel the semi as I headed straight for the ditch. I missed a pedestrian from a pulled over car walking on the side of the road by maybe a foot and managed to keep the car under control as well. The shock to my body of having a near death experience kept my chest sore for 3 days. Rest in peace to the young students. https://okcfox.com/news/local/three-ou-meteorology-students-die-in-car-crash-near-kansas-border D**n. That's one of the saddest things I've heard in sometime.

OmahaSnowFan Posted May 1 Report Share Posted May 1 I'll be chasing again tomorrow down in southern Kansas. Looks to be another nice warm front/dry line set up as long as morning storms clear out soon enough. Here's the 12Z HRRR helicity tracks for tomorrow afternoon and evening. I went through some of my dashcam footage from Friday's chase. I saw the tornado in southern Nebraska from a distance (unfortunately due to waiting for a pilot car in a one lane construction zone for 20 minutes), drove through some pretty crazy dust storms, and lastly ended up with some cool lightning. I'll put together an edited video sometime this week. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OKwx2k4 Posted May 1 Report Share Posted May 1 I love videos and pictures, but please PLEASE come back safe with them. That incident (chasers in KS) and a major accident here (non-weather) with youth in my county say enough about the importance of valuing life and safety and awareness first. It's just a massive loss, to say the least. Same when a community is devastated. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OmahaSnowFan Posted May 5 Report Share Posted May 5 Uploaded a video from my chase on Monday 5/2/22. Another moderate risk that really underperformed given the 15% hatched tornado risk and even expectations of very large hail. Unfortunately for me, I was far enough away (6.5 hours) that the discrete cells which offered the best structure and had a couple of brief tornadoes, were pretty quickly taken over by the surging cold front. I almost called off the chase when I woke up Monday morning based on how the models were now showing that scenario. But when you were excited as I was to go the night before based on what the models were showing, it's hard to change your mind. I made it to this storm, mere minutes after it had a confirmed tornado, but it was only a brief tornado despite the obvious, very strong rotation with the storm. Shortly thereafter, it was overtaken by the cold front and became part of a line of storms with some wind and hail. So in the end, I drove 6.5 hours one way to basically chase/be near the storms for an hour, and then had to drive back to make it back home at 1am. These are the days where I am like, what the f*ck am I doing, and my wife thinks I'm crazy! 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
