National Weather Festival 2009

[Ric Burney]

I think I've scraped enough dirt layers off of the ride to show it.. I'll be there.

 

[Paul Harrop]

I am so there in (oh chit!) 5 hours. I had better get some sleep.

I will be in the KOCO Eyewitness News 5 chase truck - my hand built baby - "FAST Unit 13"

It will be good to put some faces with names. Don't be a stranger.

 

[Jeremy Jones]

I am really looking forward to meeting everybody! I'll be in my White Hyundai Tiburon!

I was wanting to display some decent sized prints today, but it is looking like it going to be
pretty windy!

I feel your pain, currently one hour out of OKC since driving overnight from St. Cloud, MN to attend today. Looking forward to seeing everything!

I've got the day off, so I'll be wandering down the street in a bit. See you guys there!!!

Wow - those are some SERIOUS lightbars!

I just got into my office here in the NWC while on break from a meeting, and it's amazing to see how many people are here! I never came by the NWC on WeatherFest day, so I never understood how popular this thing is. It's awesome to see so many folks interacting with the NWS, various news organizations, the many research and application organizations around here, and even the private chasers here showing off their chase vehicles!

 

[Johnathan Brouwer]

If is wasn't for a 13 hour drive, I would be there...thanks for updates via streams

 

[Scott Weberpal]

Another thanks for the stream! I'll have to check it out!

I was very impressed with the turnout at the Weather Festival today. It was great getting to talk to Angie Norris and Jeremy Jones. I have more faces to go with the names. I was amazed at how many kids were out there. I can't imagine having events like this to go to when I was finding my passion for storms as a kid. The popularity of storm chasing is unbelievable.

It was exciting how many people turned out! It was nice meeting you Greg! I fouled up pretty big time by not having any business cards, as well as not having my Gallery up on my website for potential clients! I could have easily sold most of the prints that I brought. I didn't even think about bringing extra prints for people that wanted them!

I still have a few pics and video to go through but I threw together a few ready pics here:

Just wanted to add that it sure was nice to meet everyone. It's good to be able to put faces w/ names. I had a blast and nearly a sunburn (in November no less). Congrats to all the winners in the car show.

Ric, I made one of your pics (I was in the vehicle right next to yours though).

Somehow I tied for second place in the chaser car show for best looking car. A good wash and wax does wonders, I guess. Hey, free t-shirt.
