Right now I plan on doing the BMP Program through MS State and attending Wichita State to take broadcasting classes.

Brandon-- I noticed that on your profile that you recently completed your meteorology degree. Did you do that through MS State or thro another avenue?

Made it ... want to make it into a t-shirt.
Haha, that avatar reminds me of the goat in Jurassic Park. Tornadoes don't want to be fed, they want to hunt!

Welcome to stormtrack Matthew. I am still pretty new myself but have learned a lot from people on stormtrack. Keep at it and you will fulfill your dreams of becoming a television meteorologist. Also most of my family lives in the Butler and Sedgwick county area.
Welcome!
Hey, this is my first one-liner post...

Welcome Joshua I know that area really well for I was born in Emporia which is about 40 miles away. Even though I have never storm chased that much I am sure you will be pretty sucessful living in that area. My hometown has been hit by tornadoes on several occassions including a mile-wide F4 tornado on June 8, 1974. Good luck to you and be safe.

Welcome to the board. =)
I just recently moved from Kansas and that's a great location to experience all types of weather, including severe weather in the spring.

I think it's way cool you're moving to the Alley to chase.

New here, saying hello
Hi all, Just wanted to say hello to the Stormtrack community and thank you all for the vast knowledge on these forums. I'm a computer / networking administrator with much knowledge of all sorts of devices/appliances, satellite to cellular. I currently work as a sysop for a construction company. I have in my past installed Directv systems, Hughesnet sat internet systems and cellular amplification setups for rural customers in Maine. I hope I can contribute and at the same time learn about weather, and the art of storm chasing. Photography is my primary interest for wanting to learn about these incredible storms you all chase. Of course, living in Maine I've seen plenty of snow, witnessed a couple hurricanes (bob in the early 90's most notably) but thunderstorms are few and far between never mind a tornado. My goal in life is to witness a supercell spawn a tornado. I've been wanting to do this for a long time, and am now taking the steps towards my goal. I will be the first to admit, I have alot to learn.
My interest sparked on this a while back, but a recent event in my home town of Sanford Maine a couple years ago really did it for me. On Route 202 in my town, under mostly clear skys and event happened in which a roof was torn off of an auto body shop, it was my friends fathers shop. As he explains it he was outside getting parts off of a doner car in the scrap yard, when he noticed the cars all shifting around so he scrambled to get inside, noticing the trees violently rocking and twisting, once in the shop the roof was torn off, unfortunately a support beam of the metal structure, no long holding the weight of the roof fell on my friends father and he died from the injury. When this event happened, no wind gusts or anything were recorded or felt by anyone else in the town including myself whom was at a friends house at the time no more then 1 mile away from the Auto Shop in question, it was a very localized event. It was a tragedy for our town since nothing like this happens but the fact no one still knows what happened bothers me. My interest in wind related events and damage really stems from this, and this is my drive the learn and educate myself and hopefully others in the future.
