That's an odd one picking up traffic. It made me remember this one but I have no idea what caused it: (July 05, 2007)

Jim,
Strane images.
It appears to be a radar image of giant crop circles. (aliens)

I'm hoping to see some additional GR3 images from the 123-mile Feb. 5th monster. I lost internet connection (and ultimately power) at my house when the storm was entering Stone Co., AR, so anything after Stone Co. would be of particular interest. (I did see Ben H's image from Clinton, so thanks for that.)

Good day all...

Above: The Beloit Kansas storm on May 29th looked pretty cool too ;-)

I don't think I saw this image posted, but it's of the tornado that hit Stuttgart, AR on the night of May 10, 2008. I was listening to the live broadcast on SevereStudios.com that night and it was scary to listen to it all develop.

This truly is a sign that chaser convergences are getting out of hand when they start to show up on radar, lol. What, were to many people standing on top of their cars with tripods and getting in the radar beam?

(and yes before someone takes me as serious I know that isnt what happened or caused this.)

Quinter #1

Quinter #2

Supercell Party

May 24 OK

Probably producing the "Pig Farm" tornado (the southern storm)

Nice hook and flying eagle...I think it was producing an EF2 at this time

After another cycle

May 25

Hugo cell before it spawned the deadly EF3

Parkersburg cell further east, near Fairbank

Don't know if it's okay to link to a personal website here (if not feel free to delete the link mods), but more radar and satellite loops from this year can be found here (scroll down):

I've seen some pretty impressive radar images this season, but failed to save alot of them. However, one that I did save that I thought was impressive was a tornadic supercell with screaming eagle signature and one big, curly hook that "embraced" Belton, Texas back on April 25th. I look forward to seeing some more!

Not meaning to be a pain, but can we limit the size of these images?
Its messing up the main webpage..

Thanks,

Tim

This was my 2nd best radar capture of the year. A tornado was reported on the ground by law enforcement. I was stuck at work on duty. I had my wife take cover as I watched in horror as this cell went over my house. As I took this screen capture, the phones at my house went dead and were not back up for about 10 minutes. A little nerve racking to say the least. Only a little hail in my neighborhood!

The dot in the center is my house....

Got lucky to get this grab of Quinter #2, Sprint was kind enough to drop my connection while I was outside filming and thus preserved this image on GR3. Tornado in progress and approaching I-70.
