- Round 3
Sorry this is a short post. Parts of the state have seen severe weather the last two days including a short lived EF-0 tornado in Winneshiek County on Monday evening. I have only looked over a small amount of data but it looks like there is potentially yet another round to come through the state […] - Hello November
So as usual I’m terrible at keeping things updated. I downsized two servers to save a few bucks but also tried to tweak them to work better, so hopefully the pages here load faster now. I’ve slowly been working on getting my weather-related uploads to the site switched from FTP to something more secure, or […] - Overnight Storms, Weather Wire
Not much to report weather wise lately other than a couple back-to-back nights of storms with heavy rain, I dumped about 2.7″ out of the gauge at the house this afternoon. Looks like there might be a chance for some more yet this morning, but probably mainly north of US 30 by radar trends so […] - Whoops
So for as far as keeping this current, I have not made a post since November. Whoops. Starting graduate school (and having to do blog posts for that) have not helped. So far there has not been much in the way of severe weather in this part of the state other than some marginally severe […] - Long Time, No Post..
Wow, I thought I had not posted in awhile. I looked back and it looks like my last post was during the chase day back in October. Oops. That said, there hasn’t really been much for interesting weather around here, aside from the suprise blizzard on January 16th. Those who follow me on social media […] - Happy New Year & New Equipment
Yes I realize this is about 4 days late but I did not want to post content over the weekend while moving domains around. I still have a handful of photos from last year that I never did mark and post however none were really of consequence other than some damage photos of the tree […] - New Equipment
So I’ve picked up two 20/24 channel Motorola Radius M1225 mobiles to put in my vehicle, one VHF and one UHF. The VHF radio isn’t for chasing as much as it is for my public safety (fire/search & rescue) work. For the most part everything is in place, I just need to route the power […] - Blizzard Video
Unfortunately I am still working on getting the bugs out of my video setup as those watching my feed on ChaserTV during Tuesday’s blizzard saw. It seems now that it was largely placement of the camera rather than the camera itself that was causing the focus issues, I will have to do another test before […] - A New Look for A New Year
With the new year, I thought I would start looking for some new looks for the site instead of the generic generated template I had been using so I am testing some new layouts on the site from the WordPress.org website. My first choice did not really want to cooperate with a couple of my […] - Upgrades Part 2
I spent part of this evening while I was watching The Debris Show upgrading the website to WordPress 3.0.1 among other software upgrades to my computers. I also completed one other change to the Live Video page, the UStream video code has been replaced with the code to display my ChaserTV stream as well.
