Hi all! My name is Mike and I wanted to finally introduce myself and say to everyone that I enjoy reading all the posts and have learned a great deal from everyone! I've been a lurker for almost two years now but its taken awhile to learn a few things. I live in central Oklahoma so I don't usually have to travel very far to get a chase in. I prefer to stay in Oklahoma when I do chase and it's pretty much confined to setups west of I-35. I'm a semi-retired guy (retired once/still working) and now have more time to enjoy some of my passions which include weather. I'm looking forward to future posts and learning more from everyone!
 
Hi all. I am new to the site, but not new to storm chasing. I have been chasing since 2003. I have always been interested in severe weather, but my thoughts changed completely to mother nature when the May 1997 Jarrell tornado happened. I am from the Temple, TX area, and remember the day very well. I was walking down the road with a fishing pole with some friends when I heard there was a tornado in the Moody area heading towards us. So we high-tailed it back to the house, where we watched weather coverage for the rest of the day. I live about 2 miles from the local NBC station, and their cameras were able to catch a lot of it. I wasn't in the Jarrell tornado itself, but the system began in my neck of the woods. I am now a Texas Tech student studying Geophysics/Atmospheric Science. I have experienced the wrath that mother nature can do. If you have any questions, feel free to ask!
 
Hello everyone. My name is Kaleb Reese and I live in northeast Missouri. I have been locally chasing storms (within a couple hour drive) for the past couple of years. No tornadoes yet. I've recently took the skywarn class and am currently taking more classes on meted. I'm always looking to expand my knowledge and thanks for the add.
 
Whats up storm track! I am Ricky a lowly IT fellow that is curious to learn about the extreme weather that plagues Oklahoma!
 
Greetings all!

Longtime weather enthusiast...my first memory was the 1979 Red River Outbreak when I was nine. Scared me to death! Have been fascinated ever since. Recently retired from the military where I was both in the Army and Navy. Just wanting to expand my brainpan with storm knowledge and maybe do some photography on the side. Thanks for the add.

p.s. LOVED the "Ghost Train" show last night :)
 
Hello! New to ST but have been chasing since 1992 (ya know, when ya used actual paper maps). Apparently I'm serving a life sentence in Wichita, KS, which only serves to fuel my severe weather addiction. At 39, I'm well removed from the book-learning years, but a lot of the resources I'm finding online (mainly from members here) has helped me to gain more knowledge about severe weather and tornadoes, reading models and such.
Glad to be a (small) part of the community!
 
Greetings folks! Not really new here (I have had at least 2 other accounts on ST in the past) but recently came back to the site. Been a weather spotter and geek for a long time. Basically a virtual and armchair chaser but I do plan on trying to go out on an actual chase in the near future.

Hello all!

New member, obviously. My name is Brandon Centeno and I'm an OU meteorology student in my second year, this will be my first year chasing (disclaimer: my chasing is absolutely not affiliated with the university).

My first chase is going to be Wednesday, but I would say I am well-ahead of most people my age (as well as most people in my part of their studies) so I think I'm well-enough prepared to chase. Won't be chasing alone.

I've been interested in weather since I can remember, but the event that really got me was the April 27th, 2011 super outbreak. I look forward to (hopefully) being a solid contributing member here.
 
New to this forum. Here's a little bit about myself. I live in Sand Springs, OK, just west of Tulsa. Yes, the same Sand Springs that just had an EF2 pass through here. Scary, exciting, and sad all rolled into one. We had no damage but were probably about 4 miles SE of it. Could definitely hear it. In fact, thought there was more than one.

I am an avid weather geek (isn't that why we're here? lol). That being said, I have no formal training and I have never physically chased one. I'm known as "weather girl" at work and everyone kind of depends on me to tell them what's going on. I've learned a lot by self-educating myself on terminology and how to read radar and most importantly determine what I see in the sky.

What got me hooked was the 1993 Moore tornado. I was living in Los Angeles at the time and my mom was living in Coweta, OK (south east side of Tulsa). I was tracking the tornado online and following what was going on. Called my mom to let her know it was coming up the turnpike because she doesn't have sirens where she lives (too rural).

I will be asking lots of questions and observing and hopefully learning. Thanks for letting me be part of this forum!
 
Nice to see everyone and see many others located close to me. My name is Neal Kirby. I am originally from New York, but relocated to Tulsa, Oklahoma over a year ago and now I am in the OKC area. I came to Oklahoma the first time to visit my mother right after the Joplin, Missouri tornado (She lived about 25 minutes away across the OK border). I had already been hooked and studying meteorology on my own, but this got me hooked. I wanted to help others and this really did it for me. Combined my want to help others and also study these storms. I have began formal training now and been in a few other storms. Looking forward to a great storm week ahead.
 
Hello to all. While I don't live in the USA I watch live streams a lot and will be coming over on May 23rd of this year for 18 days for my first chase season. Have always been in awe of the weather and currently studying a bachelor in Science. Really looking forward to meeting other like minded people

Always nice to see people from the Tulsa area. I grew up in Catoosa myself (just follow 412 to the east side of the Tulsa Metro into Rogers County). I was hooked that same year ('93), but by an F4 that hit Catoosa and wiped out Bruce's Truck Stop, along with some neighbourhoods in Catoosa proper.
