Hey everyone. I recently have had a name change on here as well as my avatar. I don't want to confuse people... It's me AstralCody.
I already told quite a few members but I figure this would be easy too. I just want everyone to know. =D
Life's going good! I won't complain. I've had my downs since I last been on here but I am doing awesome now. Lots of future goals. I actually storm spot right now too. I am going to get my skywarn cert and have a radio... Lights on my car.. (truck in the future) and lots of weather technology. I got to take a lot of classes. I am basically going to be calling in Severe weather and tornadoes to the national weather service. I also get video of everything. I have some cool stuff already!
I always been attracted to weather. As a little kid even... I love lightning storms. Here is a video of me I was tracking a lightning cell. Since I am starting to learn about cloud formations and stuff it's fun to go out there and look at them myself. I may even get my meteorologist cert. I want to call tornadoes in before they touch the ground so I can get alarms going on the ground quicker. I hope you like the videos! Feel free to subscribe. I will have many more on there in the future. Even of tornadoes. I will have a better camera too. (Make sure to watch in HD if you can!)
It's fun... I know how weather changes and moves now so I can position myself perfect. It guzzles my gas traveling out east but it's not too bad of a drive where I live. We get good storms here.
Here's the lightning cell I was tracking. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KzJv5TcfG_8 (Drove toward it in case it started a fire...) I had some stuff I could have put it out with.
and here is me getting ready for the day. Spotting out where these storms would be etc. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n-pBxIhfY4A
Welcome Back AstralCody. After seeing 2 or 3 replies from PhaseshiftR1111, I was thinking that I have never seen this name before. Who is he/she? Then I read this thread and came to know that you are AstralCody.
Greetings and welcome (back) phaseshiftR1111
Lightning IS an awesome force of nature. Truly to be respected and feared. The neighborhood where I live lost power for several hours just 3 days ago due to multiple lightning strikes during severe thunderstorms. Even being inside all of that time was Very disconcerting.
