Welcome to Stormtrack, Matthew!
Barry Martin
New Here
Hello,
Graduated from OU in 2002 with a BS in Meteorology and Minor in Math. Worked as a student research at the NSSL back then studying electrical properties of LP supercell storms and participated in a storm chasing project based in Goodland, KS.
Got out of the weather biz due to lack of employment opportunities. I now have a career in business but I am still a weather geek at heart. I would love to get back to doing some chasing. Unfortunately I live in NJ (don't throw eggs at me) but would love to network with chasing folks to take a trip out to the south or midwest to do some chasing. Hit me up if you see any opportunities.
I also joined another forum as well if the above post looks familiar to you...just excited to talk severe storms with other folks out there.
Take care,
Barry

Im not really a newbie, but have only been a "full access" member of for the last couple of years. I've debated on the spot to post my thank you post, but I think this is the spot. I want to thank all of the established meteorologists, grad and PhD students, as well as all of the veteran storm chasers who post their thoughts and analysis on this site. The strongest attribute of this site is the information, and the unlimited educational opportunities that are shared here.
My family always kids me as a "natural" for storm chasing. I learned all 105 counties in Kansas and their location based on storm warnings when I was a kid, which served me well pre-internet days. I took several meterology classes at the U. of Kansas for to gain more knowledge of storms, which was helpful at the time. I wish I had more time to fully utilize all the info that is shared here, but am thankful that this site is maintained for all of us that are always trying to self-educate ourselves on the most fascinating creation on out amazing planet. Cheers

Hi my name is Christopher Wall, I joined the Stormtrack forum back in June of last year, and I'm a high school student in Overland Park, Kansas. I have always been fascinated with weather, and growing up in Kansas has given me the opportunity to observe mother nature in some of its finest moments. This forum is great because, just like Craig says above, it is an information gold mine for people that love weather and are always looking to learn something new. I'm excited to really use this forum to help me better understand the weather I love to watch.

Hi I'm Travis from Merriam, KS. I'm involved in spotting as a ham radio operator and through my work in emergency services (police, paramedic, fire) found the site and joined to get more information.
Thanks for having me.

Hello there... My name is Bobby Nicholls, and I just joined stormtrack. I am greatly honored to be amongst yall. Thank you for the acceptance!
I will probably post my introductory thread later, when I have a bit more time. Right now it seems as though everyone in my city wants to get into fights and accidents right this second.

Hello all 
.... My name is Christa. I have been incredibly interested in Meteorology (specifically storms) since I was a child. I remember standing on my balcony with a disposible camera held up to my face, just waiting for a flash of lightning, hoping to catch it on film. My curiosity grew over the years with how storms work. With-in the last few years, i have been lucky enough to come into contact with fellow "weather enthusiasts". I am hoping to learn more about Meteorology and the "correct" way to go chasing.

Greetings from the great state of Ohio!
Hello everyone! My name is Nicole and I am currently an undergraduate student at Bowling Green State University in Bowling Green, OH. I have always loved the weather, and when I was 3 years old in '92, I would watch The Weather Channel nonstop to monitor Hurricane Andrew and would make my parents wonder why I would be glued to TWC instead of Cartoon Network. So, naturally, I became a Neuroscience and Medical Technology dual major with the intention of going to medical school to be a Pediatric Neurologist. However, every time something severe weather-related happened in Ohio, I would get so ecstatic and would look at the radar via NOAA's site to see what was going on and would just stare at the sky. I figured that becoming a trained weather spotter last March would shut up my inner weather nerd, but, well, it didn't. Last spring semester, I knew I wanted to go to graduate school before going to med school, and being my love of weather wouldn't shut up, I took meteorology (as I always did want to take the class, and being meteorology was one such potential grad program I was interested in before med school, I took it) this past fall semester and fell in love with it the first day of class. I subsequently dropped my Medical Technology major and picked up Geography, while focusing on all of the atmospheric classes that BGSU offers. (If you're curious, they are Weather and Climate, Meteorology, Severe Weather, Climatology, and Global Atmospheric Problems.) Needless to say, I am super, super glad that my inner weather nerd was tough because, dropping Med Tech and picking up Geography was one of the easiest decisions of my life because this is something that I actually want to do for the rest of my life. A rather abbreviated list of my interests in weather are ENSO, severe weather indices, lightning, clouds-especially cirrus, hurricanes-especially Hurricane Andrew, how weather affects ecosystems, how weather affects health, and, of course, storm chasing.
I, naturally, want to go to graduate school to study atmospheric sciences, but since I am a rather unique case, I really haven't taken the math classes that you need (as I only needed up to Calc for med school), so I am a bit worried by what I should do as there are some schools that require those classes before you step foot on their campus (and some that let you take them before being officially accepted), but I just don't know what to do. Being I haven't taken Calc in a few years, I am fearful that I would do more bad than good by walking into a Calc 2, Calc 3, discrete math, or linear algebra class. I am open to any and all suggestions as I have the motivation to do whatever is required of me-as long as I study atmospheric sciences.
Kudos to whoever read all of this.

Welcome to Stormtrack, Nicole!
We had a large influx of new users join us after the recent March 2 tornado outbreak. You're all welcome to chime in, say hi, and introduce yourself here. So welcome to our newcomers.

Thanks, Skip.
It is good to be here with people who appreciate the weather. To be honest, I had no idea this site existed until I did a totally random google search for weather forums.

Hello I am Steven LaPrade, new to this board and storm chasing. i Live in Atlanta, GA. I have been intrested in extreme weather since i can remember. I had a close call last year in Tuscalusa AL visiting friends. that tornado experience told me i want to chase storms. Ever since i have been trieng to perfect my tracking skills, And learn as much as i can for the 2013 season. I plan to have my first chase based out of Kansas next may. I want to be well educated and this forum will help me grow, learn, and be prepared to live out my dream of storm chasing.

I am new to the site and pretty new to chasing in general. I started storm spotting about three years ago in Alabama. Every time that the weather gets bad I find myself out looking at the sky and thinking that I wanted to get a little closer and see more. Well I have been trying to learn as much as I can and started getting gear together every chance that I could. I have been chasing some here in Alabama but now find that I want to venture a little further out. During my search for more information I ran into this site. I read several threads but never joined or replied to the posts. Well I finally found some equipment that I wanted to buy on here so I joined. Now that I am on here I figure that I might as well introduce myself and start being a more active person on here. I hope to learn from the members of this site and would love to get feed back, tips, tricks and advice from people that have been doing this for a while. Thanks for a great site and I hope to meet most of you soon.

Hi Joshua I'm new to stormtrack too. I live in Paola, Kansas a couple hours east of you. Hello to everyone else, as well.
