My Tornadic Mind: September 2008
http://laurawx.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
Thursday, September 25, 2008. August 18 backyard storm chase. Finally got a quickie backyard chase in. Backyard meaning as not in the alley. I was watching the squall line take form on radar as it was heading in a SE direction towards Listowel. I gave Uncle Dave a call after Dave Patrick sent a message that there was a nice shelf cloud with it (thanks Dave! Got home close to 8:30 and not even 20 km driven! Gotta love those backyard chases sometimes. just a very simple chase with nice photos to boot.

Sunday, June 08, 2008. DAY 11 JUNE 4, 2008. Pam took the wheel and we went on the dirt roads in Kansas. Ahead of us was a big muddy mess. Hmmmm. A rental van that had been hit by a tornado and dented with hail. A muddy wet road. Hmmmm. Pam was too tempted to drive through it. SPLASH! Well, we made it without getting stuck, but the van sure got filthy! Mud splattered all over the windows. Hey I thought we rented a blue van and not a brown one! I guess now we can blend in with the local traffic. At 3:45 CD...

http://laurawx.blogspot.com/2011/05/chase-2011-plans-in-works.html
Monday, May 09, 2011. Chase 2011 Plans in the Works. So, it's a new storm chase season already - how the time flies! This year, I'll be chasing with my friend Tom Stefanac and my sister for about 2 weeks. We'll be departing from southern Ontario on May 13th. which happens to fall on a Friday. perhaps a good omen? The GFS was showing a ridge/omega blocking pattern for our first week, but it seems to weaken and move east with each successive run, which is a good thing! Posted by Laura Duchesne. Chasers - S...

Tuesday, May 18, 2010. May 12, 2010. Today we were going to target south central Kansas, where the SPC issued a 10% tornado risk for the Pratt area. We made a quick stop in Greensburg. Wow has the town really come along since the last time we went through in 2008! We passed the TIV 2 filling up in a gas station. Around 2:50, a severe thunderstorm warning was now issued for the storm. We turned around in Wichita to head back towards the west. At 3:20, a tonado warning was issued northwest of W...When we g...

My Tornadic Mind: January 2009
http://laurawx.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
Monday, January 26, 2009. I am feeling so torn at the moment. on deciding on how to spend my two weeks vacation time off work. Do I take the chance and skip out on this year's chasing and miss a possible good tornado photo op? Or will the plains give me nothing but a sunburn? I love my BFF dearly, we are very close. We've been friends for over 10 years now! Posted by Laura Duchesne. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile. There was an error in this gadget. SPC Day 1 Outlook. CDT: 7pm = 0z.
