Spring Season Recap

Due to school and other responsibilities, it has been a long time since I've last posted an entry.  However, due to a brief lull in school activity, I was finally able to compile the stats from my springtime chases.

Chases: 7 (1/20, 1/23, 3/27, 4/2, 4/24*, 5/1**, 5/19*)
Successful Chases: 4 (3/27, 4/24, 5/1, 5/19)
Busts: 3 [1/20 (class), 1/23, 4/2]
Storms Intercepted: 8
Tornadoes: 5 [Strongest: EF4 (4/24), Weakest: EF0 (5/1)]
Funnels:4
Wall Clouds:10
Strongest Winds Encountered: ~80 mph
States Chased In: LA, AR, MS, TX, OK

*denotes days where tornadoes were observed
**denotes multiple tornadoes observed

As the overall pattern begins to change, I plan on being back out in the field later this fall for secondary severe weather season.  Look for my stream on www.chasertv.com when that time comes.
