hi Loub.........like Ross said they where the Lightning Trigger.BUT the setting was I think around 4 sec.........Due to the Intensity..........#In all honest you dont need a Trigger with these storms at NIGHT..

F.6

CHEERS

Clinton

Looked like a crap Storm until it exploded from the only Storm in the USA...

We were the first on the scene.and PROUD of it.......Other Tours slowly made there way to the scene...

We got a nice base ball dents in the roofs of the cars...

I got hit a few times from the odd golf ball :rolleyes:

Another spectacular Super Cell

Video shows the Mother Ship shape around the lightning...slowed this down so you can see the saucer shape.........roughly around 4.mins onwards

Part 1

Was that real time (part 1) or did you speed things up a bit?

thx Jane..

Louby real time :good: ...no joke ask the others on tour 1..infact i slowed it down to show you the mothership around 4.mins

these storms seem to start off slow with lightning....as evening increases they go berserk.something to do with tops cooling

We left Weatherford and headed Vernon,Anson....where we watched a Supercell develope around Stanford..

The video one and two is the talk of the hunt on the way for Supercell hunting...

From day one we all picked names for a Supercell..

Names were Bertha,Joshua,Kelly,Tammy,Slobervich,.these are just a few...

This was Kelly

last time I heard he was smoking :good: Paul

Unfortunately YouTube as gone down so I will upload part 3 Rule TX as soon as possible..........

Meanwhile we head out in the evening again looking for Supercells....

Towards Stanford we come across two Thunderheads..through Barrons...I thought these dont look up to much...Ive learnt not to underestimate a USA thunderhead,

How wrong I was as these storms erupted after dark into a very fierce barrage of CGs..Very nasty Supercells ....

We at one point had to get the hell out of the area as an updraught went up above our heads...

With BARRONS indicating twin rotation above our heads :o
