Posts And Comments For April 2010

Weekend is here, and my moving is finally finished. No more Miami. Focus is now on storm chasing in May as a top priority, as I already chased tornadoes at the end of April 2010, already a big plus over 2009! This weekend I'll be up for skydiving, visiting parents, and helping out with Church on Sunday.

I just wrapped up helping out in the devastated small town of Yazoo, MS near highway 49 after a large tornado hit the area just before 12 Noon.

Wrapping up short chase trip of 4-22 and 4-23 setups. I think I made my worst mistake I ever made in my 20+ years of chasing: Never leave your first target area (SW of Wheeler TX)! But I did - And was rewarded with just a rotating wall cloud / funnel and the after-effects of eating my heart out to the success of many who STAYED within 20 miles of my (original) target, some seeing 8 tornadoes. Oh, well. Lesson learned

Right now I got two places here in FL (one in Miami, the other in Sunrise) ... I got a month to move my stuff, and I already cleared out my storage / Sea-Doo is in the new place in the garage there. I'll take my time and should have my stuff moved up there in less than 2 weeks.

Good day all, I found that something very strange happened to many of my photos in some of my albums. So I removed them all, and re-structured them into some smaller ones and re-loaded the pictures. This was very frustrating as many of the pictures pain-stakingly had descriptions on them. The new albums will be better organized by year and event, but no descriptions there in case I need to do this again!

What the F_CK happened to my albums? ... I spend A LOT of time on these - I see red "X" on pictures - The descriptions are there, but not the pictures. This will take a LOT of time to fix ;-( The albums affected are "hurricane chasing" and "storm chases #1" ... I hope someone over at FB can fix these? HAS anyone seen this?
