Ceaseless Wind

 I realized this morning that this chase needs a name.  So playing off of our reference to last year’s MSU chase as Vortex Too, I think I’ll call this year’s VToo.2.  Catchy? Well, maybe not but it’s shorter to type!

The morning SPC forecasts are somewhat encouraging in that they back up my late night post with regard to the overall set up early next week.  Of course, forecasters and storm chasers always take any longer range forecast with a grain of salt.  Having said that, the usual due dilagence will apply as the situation unfolds over the next couple of days.

I will be giving Annette from Artbeats a meeting point later today for the Sunday chase.  Sunday isn’t the best chase day according to conventional wisdom but I think it will hold some surprises!  Besides, the day will also be spent getting logistics worked out for the days afterward.

I’ve added to my chasing arsenal this type around.  I bought a suction-cup camera mount from Filmtools to help with live streaming.  I’ll be using my old JVC SD camera for that purpose. Also, my grateful thanks to Bart Comstock for helping be aquire high speed internet access earlier this week.

I am trying out Corel VideoStudio Pro X3 for video editing in the field.  I have been a long-time user of Pinnicle Studio 12 but it is slow and cludgy when compared to VSPX3.  I’m hoping for good things from this software!

More updates later!
