Warning Lights

[Jason Foster]

Nobody wants to do the Ghostbuster's thing, eh?

I think the siren alone on that thing would be enough of a warning for people, but then again they would probably think they were being warned from ghosts instead of tornadoes.

Now I would chase in that....but that's because it's just cool...and funny as hell, especially the siren...CLASSIC. They had that ride at this past SEMA show.

Instead of a tornado probe....you throw the little containment/trap things under a tornado and pretend like your going to suck the tornado into the little box.

Hey, doesn't Tim V. have a section in the Chaser Handbook with "Ghost Towns".

Beyond the traditional Light Bar

So I have been seriously thinking of mounting one of these to the top of my chase vehicle. This search light shoots a single 5,000 Watt beam far into the sky. Specially configured this unit to run on 120V and plugs into a standard outlet. Now all I need is an inverter.....

Before you get your panties all in a twist, this is a joke. See you all in KS real soon.

LIGHTBARS!!!!!

My setup is concealed and has all the proper permits required under GA law. It comes in real handy when you're on scene participating in ARES operations so the cops know that you're there workin with em. Have I abused em? No. I can't do that. That would destroy what I'm trying to do as a chaser.

Oh great, I've been Rick Rolled.

I also wear a helmet, wrap myself in bubble wrap and wear personal flotation devices. It never hurts to be too safe!

Would that be a boob job?

Here's my question.

Will your light bar do anything to protect you if someone hits you because they are blinded by your lights? How are all of us supposed to know your forward facing strobe light means there's a tornado warning?

Light bars do not stop cars when they hit you. If you are pulled off the road enough, you should not need to 'make sure that people know where you are." I wish Chris Novy would weigh in on this, as he has a very good presentation on light bars in his trainings.

Can you also define 'use responsibility' for us? Apparently, that's something that is lacking on StormTrack.

The new Gen4 LEDs do stop cars from hitting you. They can act as deflector arrays
