    That was cool....good view, no rain to mask it, good distance for safety, and looked to be over a fairly rural area so hopefully it did no significant damage.

      Looking at the radar and it looks like we might get a third wave here in a few minutes from the south. I think I might give my dog some benadryl.

        [QUOTE=Treadhead;631282]This is from the street just East of the old Montgomery Ward complex.



        Man, that's a great pic! We drove through days later but didn't take any pics.

          Great shot of the Montgomery damage. Chased a little bit yesterday locally but didnt get to much. Got a couple pictures i'll put up here in a bit. Thought about going further south but just wasnt plausible with work schedule, etc.

            I went out yesterday. My fiance and I are SkyWarn spotters/chasers. I'm only running CB at the moment. Haven't got into HAM yet. Saw a great wall cloud and some good rotation around McKinney but the Echo top was to low for a good funnel. I'll try to post pictures tonight. You're welcome to ride along and if you're a good navigator, I need one.

              Apparently there was a baby tornado that went through the trailerhood about 5 miles north of my parents house a couple nights ago. The news is saying it was 115mph winds.

                I need to get a Ham radio as well. Have you done the advanced course yet? I may try and do it this Saturday. We also had some rotation out here near spring town.

                    Sat though about an hour of it and it's all pretty much HAM operations and the radar and weather software they recommend. I left. lol

                      Some good rotation in this one above the water tower.

                        Thanks yall! We were on 10 hour patrol shifts on our days off so I figured I might as well take some close up shots of the damage.

                            Thanks Treadhead!

                            MikeB, thats pretty cool. I've thought about studying Meteorology, just wish they had some local schools that offered such a program. Seems the closest ones are in OK or A&M

                              Nice shot T/C. I missed all the local storms last year, was on the road for work :-(
