Taking A Look Back At The Supercell Of My Chase Career Part 1

This supercell on June 5, 2010 finally gave me my first 3 tornadoes ever during my over 10 year chase career. This is the first part of the chase and I will be posting more of these over the next few days/weeks or so. Enjoy :)

Hurricane Earl Maybe Once Again Beginning An Eyewall Replacement Cycle

Look at the San Juan Radar image as it appears an outer ring of convection is forming around the main ring of convection surrounding the eye. This appears to be the beginning of an ERC and the intensification has leveled off after a brief period of Rapid Intensification

Incredible Satellite view Of Hurricane Earl

Hurricane Earl Dangerous Cat 4, Fiona Is Born, Tornado Watch Northern Plains

Incredible View Of Hurricane Earl From Space

Hurricane Earl's Eye Now Visible On Visible Satellite And Is Now A Major Hurricane

SUMMARY OF 1100 AM AST...1500 UTC...INFORMATION ----------------------------------------------- LOCATION...18.7N 63.6W ABOUT 95 MI...150 KM ENE OF ST. THOMAS ABOUT 165 MI...265 KM E OF SAN JUAN PUERTO RICO MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WINDS...120 MPH...195 KM/HR PRESENT MOVEMENT...WNW OR 285 DEGREES AT 15 MPH...24 KM/HR MINIMUM CENTRAL PRESSURE...960 MB...28.35 INCHES

GFS Modeling With New NOAA P3 Data Into The Modeling On Hurricane Earl

Please say this isn't so in this two images. The First image shows Hurricane Earl getting even closer to The Coastal Carolinas And SE Virginia

The 2nd one is downright scary. Very close to Long Island And Even Approaching Boston

Earl Now A Catagory Two Hurricane With 100 mph winds

SUMMARY OF 1100 PM AST...0300 UTC...INFORMATION ----------------------------------------------- LOCATION...17.9N 61.1W ABOUT 50 MI...80 KM ENE OF BARBUDA ABOUT 130 MI...215 KM E OF ST. MARTIN MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WINDS...100 MPH...160 KM/HR PRESENT MOVEMENT...WNW OR 285 DEGREES AT 15 MPH...24 KM/HR MINIMUM CENTRAL PRESSURE...971 MB...28.67 INCHES

There's Earl On the Euro Look Staying Off Shore but coming much too close to the Carolinas/SE Virginia Coast. Interesting take on what the Euro shows for what could become Fiona. Watch it approach South Florida/Cuba And with the strength Of The Ridge, Approach New Orleans as potentially a very intense/dangerous hurricane (Perhaps A Katrina Reprise? God I hope not)

Earl Now A Hurricane And Expected To Become A Major Hurricane In A Few Days

...EARL EXPECTED TO STRENGTHEN AS IT HEADS TOWARD THE NORTHERN LEEWARD ISLANDS... SUMMARY OF 1100 AM AST...1500 UTC...INFORMATION ----------------------------------------------- LOCATION...17.2N 58.4W ABOUT 225 MI...360 KM E OF ANTIGUA ABOUT 315 MI...510 KM E OF ST. MARTIN MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WINDS...75 MPH...120 KM/HR PRESENT MOVEMENT...W OR 280 DEGREES AT 17 MPH...28 KM/HR MINIMUM CENTRAL PRESSURE...985 MB...29.09 INCHES

Tropical Storm Earl Likely to Become A Hurricane 082810

Kentucky Kingdom Set To Reopen In 2011

Hurricane Danielle Has Peaked And Going Through An Eyewall Replacement Cycle

Should miss Berumda with maybe some Tropical Storm Force Winds there later today:

The Outer Concentric Eyewall Taking Shape Can Clearly Be Seen In This Satellite Imagery:

One latest Satellite Shot. Still looks great on Satellite

Hurricane Now A Major Catagory Four Hurricane With 135 Mph Winds

Now the same strength as Hurricane Hugo in 1989 when he made landfall near Charleston, SC. The Barometer for Danielle is 946 MB Pressure. Looks to pass very close to Bermuda over the weekend:

Now you make make free phone calls within the United States With Gmail

And even better, it doesn't cost anything unless you call an International number. I look for this to be a HUGE competitor for Skype.

Hurricane Danielle might be close to being a Major Hurricane with a near Stadium Like Eye Feature Now

105 MPH And Pressure Of 970 MB which would be close in supporting a Catagory 3 Hurricane (115 mph) She's A Catagory 2 hurricane offically but take a look at this eye. It's still got some cloudiness in it but it appears that a stadium effect has developed with this system

Meanwhile Tropical Storm Earl looks to be struggling a bit at 45 MPH and a pressure of 1004 MB

And what could become Fiona is off of the African coast now and is offically an invest now and appears to already be fairly well organized:

Hurricane Danielle's Eye Is Once Again Visible On Conventional Satellite Imagery

Once again, Danielle has 100 mph winds as well with a 975 MB Pressure, the lowest she has had to this point.

Also Tropical Storm Earl is only slightly stronger at 40 mph and 1006 MB Pressure:

MI DURING THE AFTERNOON/EARLY EVENING.



The tornado parameters off the SREF aren't that impressive, but last image off the NAM shows a very compact, but strong vort max coming through Illinois by afternoon/evening. With the 70's dew points in place, high cape, and a residual boundary from overnight storms likely in place, a couple of rotating storms will be possible. If they were tornadic, with the barely modest mid/upper level wind fields any tornadoes would likely be small and short lived:

Ernie Pyle Memorial And Hillsdale Covered Bridge

Two historic pieces of Indiana History located in Vermillion County Indiana Off Of U.S. Hwy 36. Ernie Pyle was a Journalist from Dana, Indiana that graduated from Indiana University. He was made famous during WWII. The Hillsdale Covered Bridge that's also on site right next to the site, is also historic as well:

Freestyle Music Park Being Foreclosed On

This is really a shame what has become of the former Hard Rock Park In Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. I had hopes to visit this park when I first heard of it coming to the forefront. Also goes to show you though what happens when you don't properly promote your new park through all of the available channels effectively:

Indianapolis Colts Lose In Toronto To The Buffalo Bills 34-21

I must say that the first unit after a first drive struggle, looked a bit better as the half went on. The 2nd/3rd untis played better as well but still have alot of work to keep the turnovers at bay. Bob Sanders also returned to the lineup in this game and the return game was the most notable positive of the game. The much aligned Quarterback Curtis Painter also looked much more comfortable in this game than in the Home Pre Season Opener against The 49'ers At Lucas Oil Stadium:

Jim Caldwell was fairly happy with the game as a whole:

Percy Harvin Collapse Appears To Have Been Caused By A Migrane

Very unfortunate to hear about this happening to a great player on The Vikings to Percy Harvin. The Wide Receiver has been prone to these headaches for quite some time and in fact has missed most of Vikings Training Camp because of it.

High Voltage Substation Near Rockville Correctional Facility In Rockville Indiana August 16 2010

Cedar Point Could Be Sued By A Ride Company

This is quite a strange story. I hope that nothing would eventually come of this. It appears to me that this ride company may have a case of sour grapes against the park.

Bret Favre Is Coming Back For His 20th Season

The saga continues. He has truly become the "Soap Opera" Of The NFL world. Now don't get me wrong, he definately one of the best players of the game, but this on again off again attitude to the football world is getting a bit crazy. There are several upcoming Quarterbacks on the Vikings roster that would love to more consistantly be the 1st string Quarterback for The Vikings. They need to get to The Super Bowl this year for this to be worth The Vikings taking yet another chance on him. What do you guys think?

Scott Pilgrim Vs The World

Getting some mixed reviews but appears to be mostly popular. I'm not sure to think of it just based on the trailers. Based on the trailers, it seems to be a bit of a corny type of movie but then again that's just based on my movie tastes. What do you guys think?

Dr Laura Leaving Her Radio Show At The End Of The Year

When her contract expires, Dr. Laura is leaving her radio show. This is coming from the backlash of a recent show were she used the "N" word with a caller. She stated she is tired of not being able to totally say on air what she wants to with Mainstream Radio and hence she is leaving her Mainstream Radio Show:
