Default Spotters who also chase?


We got any skywarn spotters who also chase storms in here?

Myself, I live in the 1925 Tri-State tornado land, the record baby, but I do skywarn for my county for several years now, used to be emergency management for a small community but they were too lazy to save lives and I quit and I also chase storms but only local, I don't travel to places like OK and stuff!

Yall?

There are plenty of us who are spotters that chase anywhere we can.* I can think of numerous people right off the top of my head.

Default Re: Spotters who also chase?

Can't think of too many other electronics as Josh covered the majority, although I will add a good radar detector to the list, then while I like to focus on video with my HD cam I also bring along my SLR camera with a couple of lenses, not so much anymore but I used to also bring a portable hand held TV.* Then there are tons of other minor things like spare fuses, rain X, first aid kit, tripods (well they can get pricey mine was* around $200 not minor to me) and probably a lot of other stuff I am forgetting.
