Remember when people used to call it "LieOwa??"

Does any other chaser have a problem where they literally cannot sleep well before a chase. Why did my brain decide waking up in cold sweat with 5 hours of sleep and refusing to go back a good idea

Guess since everyone is posting about idiot drivers I should put my part in.
From the Kankakee storm, how about we don't stop and take up both lanes of travel, then get out and go into the field next to the road.... newbie or not, learn some situational awareness.

@oldscarf1stweek Tornado sucked and was not worth the drive. Good call

Absolutely cowardly post, missing another photogenic tornado in Iowa this year because you didn’t want it bad enough. Need to get rid of this loser mentality for June.
maybe: k*rk@oldscarf1stweek
Sitting this one out, generally still like staging in Davenport to NW IL play, feels like a small but reasonable window from 20Zish on for a storm to produce with an effectively destabilized environment and back winds and 3cape east of the sfc low. Still seeing the low level hodograph is nicely curved with strong directional shear, Effective SRH around 250 to 300 m²/s² is more than sufficient for sustained rotating storms. The downside is that the hodograph elongates quickly and becomes more linear with height. (Although hodos look much better in the IL side) That favors faster storm motions and can lean things toward more outflow dominant structures and a question how long we can maintain discrete/semi discrete. Deep layer shear around 60kts supports supercells, at least initially. However, the combination of stronger forcing, linear mid level flow will promote upscale growth at sooner rather than later I don’t think there’s been a meaningful trend either way , it’s just hard to justify 16 hours solo one way for 50mph+ storm motions. Certainly not feeling the same “I can’t believe I’m going to miss this” as I did before Kankakee day. Was really excited to send this too, but ended up staying 2 hours past shift change to finish care, and didn’t get the sleep I’ve needed after a couple overnights. (TLDR: Northeast chaser doesn’t want it bad enough, free tornados in E Iowa/Illinois tomorrow) Rooting for y’all sending it tomorrow go verify a TTC or a TOTY pic

@RidenourDamian @tim_grooms Sometimes storm chasers are the first on scene and can be the difference between life and death for people, sometimes medical personnel are blocked off from debris. Not always are people making profits from these storms but a first line of defense.

@tim_grooms I still do not understand the reason for storm chasing.. data is there for everyone to see to be warned of storms. people profiting off of recording storms ripping peoples roofs off I will never understand

It is funny, chasers love to call out the SPC if a forecast busts. They also like to call out the SPC if the forecast does not meet what they believe they are seeing in the models. The case here is for Thursday. Chasers want a higher risk for the zone they want to chase: further west in the Iowa area. The SPC sees it differently, therefore the SPC must immediately be questioned and are wrong. I have one for y’all. Stop hyping up events based off model runs that are days out. It gets old. I guarantee the forecasters at the SPC are a million times more knowledgeable than you are. And they don’t base their forecasts off a few “robust” model runs.

HAIL DAMAGE: Wind driven hail damage shreds the side of this house in Hamler. Hail was reported to be 2" large (lime/egg sized)!

30 years of storm chasing… well actually 12 years but I’m 30 now. Hoping to continue storm chasing until I can no longer walk 🙂↔️
