Title:
April 25th 2008 Illinois storms

Description:
storms fired up along a frontal boundary that quickly moved through the area. Storms were most intense along a line from Springfield to Decatur to Champaign. Tornado Warnings were issued earlier for the storm we chased near Farmer City. The storms were quick and were fun to watch, but we only got heavy rain, an awesome lightning show, and amazing shelf cloud structure as it ran its way up highway 54, with us right behind it. Sorry for the beeping noise. That night i was also experiementing with a new camera i aquired, and it has better audio and video quality, so im using it from now on. Also, i broke my leg a week earlier, so it greatly reduced our mobility. Also, sorry about the smaller image, it was a large enough file where i had to shrink the video size or loose some footage.

March 8th, 2009 - Dying severe warned cell just outside of Decatur, IL
We lost data and our cell we were targeting was severe warned before the data loss, so we guestimated our intercept point and caught the storm just as we got data. Only to find out the cell was deteriorating and a newer one from the south was coming up.
