Tribute to chaser Andy Gabrielson ... There is NO excuse for drunk drivers - We lost a great chaser because of it. God bless and RIP - We will all miss this great young storm chaser.

How can cheap $1 (or less batteries) RUIN hundreds (or even thousands) of dollars worth of electronics? Simply leave them IN the device for a while! Trust me, they will leak electrolyte into the battery compartment, which is corrosive, and eat away at the electronics (IC's). Then you dust if off, turn it on, and nothing happens. Insert new batteries, still nothing happens when you turn it on. Take it apart, and only realize you have to throw it away (I took this picture before doing that). Luckily this was "only" a $50 FRS radio ... Lesson learned: Do NOT leave stale batteries in electronics!!

You would think the THIRD named tropical storm of the 2012 Atlantic hurricane season would have my name (tropical storm "Chris") on it and be something to chase? Nope, another storm far from any land and a weak system that churned away in the far north Atlantic. The 2012 tropical season has got off to a busy start, with two named systems BEFORE June 1 (the official start of the Atlantic hurricane season) forming in the Atlantic basin.Tropical storm Chris, the third named storm of the season, formed in the north Atlantic on June 19, 2012. It bothered no one as it remained well out to sea (what hurricane chasers call a "fish storm"). Keep track of any tropical systems and hurricanes (and plans to chase them) with my TROPICAL WEATHER page in the STORM CHASING section of my main web site, or click the link below to go right to it ... http://www.sky-chaser.com/tropics.htm

Posted: Jun 25, 2012, 2:20 PM

The Saharan Air Layer (Or SAL) is caused by dust from Africa (Sahara Desert) advected across the tropical Atlantic by the easterly trade winds. It's common in July / August in FL and the Caribbean. The dust appears as a haze across the sun, also note the "capped" cumulus caused by the trade wind inversion.

Not the best of pictures (sure were caught off guard with these king of things) ...

Oh boy! Bermuda is a small "target" (for hurricanes) in a BIG ocean. But so are "trailer homes" (as with tornadoes) in the huge expanses of the US Great Plains! If this verifies anyone there will be looking at blue sky through the eye of a "fish" storm Sunday morning!

Posted: Sep 5, 2012, 10:57 AM

Looks like a MISS for Bermuda by a long-shot (and the drier western side too). Leslie will be a cat-2 well east of the island with Michael (a "fish" storm far to the east 'doing a 2010' to NEVER affect land) becoming the first Major hurricane of 2012. Big difference a day makes and that's why I never got tickets.

This (simulated image) was funny (but actually VERY serious / dangerous). After 40+ hour without sleep, driving through Florida, I would see the next exit / intersection and a red "hot water bottle" atop it = My cue to PULL OVER and get some REST! These are hallucinations and your body telling you you NEED SLEEP now. If you ignore them, you'll fall asleep behind the wheel (microsleep) and probably be killed! Not uncommon after hurricane chasing and wrapping up such a chase!

Not looking like much? Look closely, you can clearly see how the winds (over S FL) go from L/V at 20k Ft and increase to over 80 above 30 k Ft ... I guess NO more hurricanes for WHILE ;-(
