I am finished with this app - officially. And this antisocial networking site.

As of now I am removing all content on here and leaving. Twitter as well. I have absolutely no place on a site like this with all that is happening around the world and in this country.

I'm sorry bit I really don't have a place here now. I joined in on some conversations on here regarding the recent racial, news, and shootings and nothing good came out of it. Lost much respect in the process and even had posts banned.

Steven Natale It's actually not illegal. If he paid in full it's legal tender and he has his money.

It's kinda mean though on the other hand ... I get a laugh of folks paying traffic tickets with pennies. They have to take it.

But this is really nasty given that you cause heartaches ... The money has to be washed too (in this case), other than that it's a b'tch to count.

One even had police called and even the police said they have to take it as long as it is legally legit American money.

Sky-Chaser Chris Collura replied to Mark Blue's comment.

Mark Blue It also ruined my relationship with my father early on. I was grounded for not "punching back" - There was a gang. So I just ran away. More like common sense than being a coward.

Better to get yelled at and called a whimp by my dad (and having a class picnic canceled as a punishment) than him going to my funeral, I guess.

High school bullies are extremely dangerous and the mental / social damage they can cause is appalling. Curses and angry Indian spirits can also stuck it too.

Jim Williams Its scary. Even back in 1982 as a kid I was dragged by 6 people onto a frozen lake and thrown into a hole in the ice. All because I "made the deans list" at my school. And my wonderful dad punished me because I did not fight back and ran away.

I wound up making friends with ONE of those jerks in the gang of 6, with them never bothering me again - And that probably saved my life (although he is in jail now).

Sky-Chaser Chris Collura updated his status.

Composed this back in 1999 / 2000 but still quite real ;) ... And a good read 8f you're bored!

A core that punched back... This FICTUAL story is what may happen to a storm chaser who punches the core of a supercell thunderstorm in the Midwest US. Mike has been chasing storms in Florida for several years and went on a trip to the Great Plains to join some other chasers at the end of last May. During several chases he observed some severe storms but from a distance until a supercell storm came up on the 26th near Throckmorton, Texas. He was in his own Chevy Blazer which he drove from Florida and was in a caravan of several other chase teams converging on the storm. Out of curiosity, and bored of the updraft base view, he turned around and drove towards the dark, green, lightning-shot sky to the north.

He continued into the precipitation shaft despite other chasers screaming at him on the CB for him to come back. Soon sideways rain and pea sized hail slammed into Mike's Blazer, rocking it. A blinding CG flash hit just feet in front of him and startled him into turning around and going back out of the storm core. As visibility was zero, he cautiously crept along the road as dime and quarter sized hail began falling and covering the ground. He stopped, figuring he would wait it out. As 70 to 80 MPH winds and hail rocked the truck, he pointed the front of it in order to face the wind. The storm core continued to get worse, golfball sized hail was bouncing everywhere as lightning flashed all around with crashes immediately following each flash.

The sky was greenish and soon became lighter so Mike continued to cautiously drive south again. The hail became loud and continued to grow larger. Soon Mike heard two deafening crashes on top of his truck and again stopped. Then a third crash right on the center of his hood, a huge baseball sized chunk of hail that exploded into millions of white fragments leaving a big dent behind. Another hail stone, this one grapefruit sized, landed on the top of his truck with a deafening crash. Mike looks up to see the headliner buckle down during the impact. Suddenly a large crash splinters the rear window and cold air rushes through his Blazer. A shower of safety glass covers his camera bags in the rear of his truck mixed with pieces of crushed ice.

Two more "grapefruits" score a direct hit on Mike's windshield and smash it. The laminated glass is penetrated by one of the stones and wet pieces of glass splinters and ice fall into Mike's lap. Now Mike is panicking and can't even see out the shattered front window, still held in place by the lamination and tinting. He rolls down his drivers side window to try to look forward as he tries to drive south. A baseball sized hail stone shatters right on the top of his door and Mike gets a “refreshing” blast of ice in his face. Another hail stone shatters another rear side window and safety glass falls onto his duffle bag and cooler. Everything in the truck is SOAKED and the wind is blowing through the destroyed windows. Mike grabs his road map to support the deteriorating hole in his windshield.

The map gets soaked and becomes a messy ball of paste. Finally, Mike makes some headway to the south and gets out of the hail shaft. He passes right under a rotating wall cloud and drives east only to see a brief dust cloud as a tornado touched down behind him. As dust is kicked up on the south side of the storm, it flies all through Mike's truck staining any light colored object including his leather seats dark brown. Glass splinters still fall from the shattered windshield as Mike now holds a book to keep it from getting worse. He squints through any visible areas of the wind shield and looks out his driver side window just to keep driving east.

Finally he catches up with the rest of the chase group who is both awing and laughing at Mike's Blazer, or what's left of it. "Mike, you idiot, I told you how dangerous these storms are in the Midwest!" His only reaction was "I didn't realize it will get that bad!" Well, bad it was because Mike had to cut his trip early because of the damage to his Chevy Blazer. He called his insurance only to find out that they could not replace the windshield for "acts of God" in another state. The next day he got a new one in Dallas after a long drive. Since the hood and top of the truck was so badly dented, the glass repairman said the windshield, which costed over $250, will leak. Mike returned to Florida with a nearly totaled 1999 Chevy Blazer.

His insurance picked up the damage and his truck spend nearly two weeks in a body shop. Mike had to rent a car for $50 a day, cough up a $750 insurance deductible, plus replace about $2500 worth of video and camera equipment that was ruined. Precious footage, tapes, and film was also lost. His leather seats, stained from the red Texas soil, also had to be re-upholstered. The storm chase team also did not want Mike to chase with them anymore for disobeying their orders and putting part of their team in danger. The real sad thing about this whole ordeal is that not only did Mike make a complete FOOL of himself, but paid a STIFF price from punching such a dangerous storm.

Mike’s insurance premiums also went up after this ordeal. It could have been much worse, what if he came out of the core and into an E-F5 wedge tornado? What if the storm was in a populated area where flying roof debris and traffic accidents would occur? Think about this story when considering a core punch to get into a better position ... A lesson WELL learned!

Nothing like a mass shooting and a grim blast from our countries recent past to ruin our days, ey?

Seeing this on the news last night made me so disgusted, I actually slammed something and broke it in anger. I guess as Covid-19 winds down this starts back up again - Like every week or so. "Bang bang!" On my news feeds?

If humans keep this up there probably will be another pandemic soon, and this time it won't be a virus with a 98.5% survival rate :(

Rob Jones Well it's over land, so like a 74 mph hurricane (sustained 74 mph over water at 10m) you're lucky to get a 74 mph gusts, albeit briefly.

Maybe about 100 feet up winds were sustained at 80 mph just above Guadeloupe pass and 74 mph briefly made it down to the surface.

Just sayin'

Oh Lake Ronkonkoma. A good neighbor and friend of mine posted a peaceful picture of the lake (it's in central Long Island, SE New York in Islip / Suffolk County where I grew up).Legend has it that there is "The lady of the lake" and a Native American curse attached to it ... Where once a year a man (usually young or in his teens) would drown in that lake each year. It nearly claimed my life in the early 80s with a run in with some school bullies over the winter.I didn't drown but was tossed into a hole in the thin ice and beat up. After that, family problems ensued - Especially with my stern dad at the time. Yet others not so lucky contined to drown or die there - The summer following that winter where I was pushed into the ice hole, someone was murdered after a lovers quarrel. And you guessed it, it was a young man.We used to swim there all the time. Never knowing what danger lurked beneath the dark green waters. On a hot summer day, my friends and I would swim down deep, and just 6 feet down or so it would be bone chilling cold, enough to take your breath away.Some thought the lake was bottomless (ofcourse it's not!), and connected to the Long Island Sound, explaining strange rises and falls in the lake level unrelated to rainfall. Sometimes people who drowned were never found. Scary....You decide if this chilling Algonquin legend is really true. I certainly ain't going near there!See: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lake_Ronkonkoma_(lake)Place: Lake Ronkonkoma, New York (40.8297, -73.113) Address: Lake Ronkonkoma, NY 11779

Philip Flory Good products but not for tech geeks like us. Planned obsolescence too. Stinks when you need a special cable to copy a file from an iPhone to your PC. While my Android s20 you can use any USB C cable, even one from the dollar store.

Final nail in my Apple coffin was when a skydive group did a jump and we all tried to share video and no one had a cable for his iPhone that had the footage. He just said I'll put it on Dropbox and we never heard from him again. Despite reminding him for weeks. Ghosted us. Had he had an Android device anyone could have grabbed any cable and got those files right then and now :(

This DB murdered people. And the sad thing is they were Asian and this could of happened with any race.

Now the circus starts. With the Asian vs White and vice versa. Like in the summer with the BLM and black and white.

Doesn't matter on the race but DONT KILL people ... And if he killed in spite of them being Asian then its 1,000 times as bad because now he started a whole cascade of bias and finger pointing due to the over sensitive nature this country is in now.

No one needs ANY HATE like this right now.

This whole thing over the past year absolutely sucked, killing dreams left and right.

And unemployment in Florida - Don't even get me into that. They managed to sleaze their way out of paying many people (and why in God's world isn't there some mass lawsuit / class action with that? I thought there would be).

Luckily I eventually got it but not until July after losing job (because of Covid-19 in early March)! It angers me so bad seeing people screwed so bad and I cringe thinking I was one of the luckier ones - Many folks in my dads neighborhood lost homes and evicted after not being able to pay rent.

Plus so many irresponsible folks not taking Covid-19 seriously, especially earlier in the pandemic (Beach jammed, no parking / valet, long lines in restaurants - All while I self quarantined for weeks) to my horror and disgust. That caused massive spread and many innocent lives (not just life styles) destroyed.

As for you I'm crossing my fingers things get better and this inflation won't be crazy (I'm worried about gas prices and chose a remote job now so I eliminate commutes and all that BS).

You're a good guy and it breaks my heart you got hurt by this along with so many others :/

I was not storm chasing on this setup. Was kinda tricky to get out there since rental cars were scarce. Plus very early yet. Strange to see absolutely no cars available despite flights being dirt cheap.

Anyway - Great job for those who tacked the challenging storm environment and captured some great shots - Such as from Tony Laubach. Hopefully this active pattern will be frequent this year!

There's a little pizza joint in Wheaton, IL (sw Chicago suburbs) that has a wood fired 1000 degree pizza oven. It's called Bricks. Amazing pizza and sandwiches. And you NEVER wait more than 5 minutes to get the pizza from scratch!

Rare that the "mirror" effect from the refraction caused by a temperature inversion is such that the sky reflected completely makes the "true" horizon barely discernable. What amazing optics at play there!

You could go one YouTube and enjoy a video uninterrupted and only included the point of the video - Not forced to watch all the drama and blabbing up until the 5 second event in a 30+ minute video with J Beiber music and an ad every 2 minutes!

And non skippable ads too.

Crazy illusion. Sometimes in a very flat desert area, cars ahead of me seem to "float" in mid air like that!

It's just the mirage effect (looks like mirror smooth water on the horizon) and blocks the actual horizon, but objects above this refractive temperature inversion may appear undistorted (like the cars or ship in this case).

Sky-Chaser Chris Collura replied to Timothy Paul Bond's comment.

Timothy Paul Bond London fog is a result of the warmer Gulf stream (north Atlantic drift). Also look at how high a latitude Europe is at (esp. Norway and the British Isles).

Draw a line west and you'll be over Greenland (permanent glaciers / ice sheet) and into Canada in almost near permafrost - so inhospitable its scarcely populated! Meanwhile in Scotland it's +50 deg F in the winter with drizzle (and in Canada it's 45 below and blizzard at the same latitude).

Posted: Mar 3, 2021, 3:11 PM

Sky-Chaser Chris Collura commented on Tom Skilling's post.

The images really show the Gulf stream current (and eddies / gyres off it) beautifully.

As for any climate changes, man made or not, the end results are extremely difficult to assume and might even be counter intuitive (like global warmimg causing some places to become cooler due to weather systems being displaced, or storms / droughts frequently happening in places that rarely got them in historical data).

Sky-Chaser Chris Collura replied to John Gray's comment.

David Draun Rapidly sinking air from high altitude also occurs in the eyes of powerful tropical systems too.

The "Day after tomorrow" had one highly erroneous line saying "the air is descending too rapidly, and does not have time to warm up..." - That's junk science and completely violates the laws of physics.

Rapidly descending air will always heat up due to adiabatics.

Posted: Mar 3, 2021, 3:06 PM

Sky-Chaser Chris Collura replied to John Gray's comment.

David Draun I remember looking at the "polar vortex" event in Chicago (early Feb 2019) it was like 40 below from "just above the ground" at night - all the way up through the air column - Still 40 below (deg F or C doesn't matter they're the same) or so at 35,000 feet. The GFS on CODs site showed the "dynamic tropopause" at 925 mb or less. So basically "no" troposphere?

Sky-Chaser Chris Collura replied to Laurie Knecht's comment.

Raymond Teeling It records your plate at every plaza. BUT when you look on their website and try to pull up by plate to pay online, it does not show all the plazas. Even after 2 weeks they don't show up!

However, the ones you don't see (when trying to pay online) will be eventually billed to you plus late fees.

Posted: Mar 3, 2021, 2:54 PM

Sky-Chaser Chris Collura replied to Laurie Knecht's comment.

Laurie Knecht You cannot pay cash. Covid-19 shut it down..

It works by your plate. You got 2 weeks to pay by looking up your plate on their site - but be warned, not all of the tolling plazas showed up and they later charged me for them with huge late fees.

Posted: Mar 3, 2021, 2:51 PM

Sky-Chaser Chris Collura replied to Phil Carlson's comment.

Phil Carlson Yeah they also keep track of each toll plaza you go through ... Then when you go one their site to pay by plate they don't show you all the plazas you passed through - from the end of the 2 week grace period and long after - despite you being honest and paying everything that is shown to you!

Then 3 or 6 months later they bill you for those plazas (the ones you DIDNT SEE on their site for your plate) plus a $20 late fee. Morons.

If they're so good at "handling data" then why the f'ck did they send me a $20.50 bill (missed 50 cent toll plus $20 late fee) when I paid online last summer for every plaza I passed through by plate (cash collector booths were closed due to Covid-19) within the 2 week grace period?

My primary doctor in Florida informed me that I'll be "eligible" for my vaccine "sometime" in 2022. So I consider it nil and just keep practicing what "all the other Americans" fail to do until then :)

And NO (contrary to FB belief). I have nothing against Trump nor Chinese people.
