Storm Chasing Classic supercell chase

Friday, February 27th, 2009

 

Firstly, great news in terms of the temporary visa being granted to Imelda and Kimberly yesterday. We were very surprised since we got this with little fuss! Thanks to the assistance you and David provided in references.

 

Next step is permanent residency. The pregnancy is going well with the baby due in mid-May – very exciting indeed. The baby is kicking wildly now! Everything in tests seem normal including the heart rate.


In the other news, I must say finally I was really excited about the storm chase last Monday intercepting the classic supercell with very impressive structure! Pity that structure did not last for long before it went into a slow decline. Nevertheless the Sydney area did not have any storms predicted so really it was a marginal situation. I was watching things unfold from my desktop and also watched twice as the storm tried really developed about an hour earlier. Then it basically sent up an impressive explosive updraft and organised rapidly.

Happy New Year – hope storms are better this year

Michael, Happy New Year! I hope your year turns out to be fruitful and pleasant. Sympathies for the bad news you and your family have had to endure. It is part of life’s pains. What is it this year with the storms! How explosive was that last lot! Some impressive structures and intense supercells this year on the north coast. Down here, we are stuggling to produce any storms – very low below average and we have had one half hearted attempt of a low topped version a month or so ago. Even the Hunter has relatively been down. So now we have to endure some heat after yesterday’s storms over the ranges. Imelda and Kimberly are doing well – Imelda goes for a pregnancy check-up tomorrow. Regards, Jimmy Deguara
