I experienced a first for me from October 5-8. I actually flew to Taiwan to intercept Super Typhoon Krosa as she made landfall on the eastern side of Taiwan. Logistics were certainly a challeng with no internet, no phone and tough roads to travel on. However, I was successful, as my friend Stuart Robinson from the UK joined me. We experienced winds over 120 MPH destroying crops, trees, small structures, structures on the sea and even watched as water was flowing UPHILL as winds blew up the coastal mountains. It was a grueling journey with a 21 hour flight each direction and major issues with jet lag (Taiwan is 14 hours ahead of us). Would I do it again? YOU BETCHA!
Oct 13-14 Severe Weather Potential!!! I will be storm chasing this weekend! The set up looks pretty good as a deep low develops in western Kansas, pulling moist air up from the gulf. Extremely good wind shear and modest instability will set the stage for supercell thunderstorms, most likely on Sun, in Kansas and possibly southern Nebraska. Saturday could be a sleeper day in northwest Kansas as a triple point sets up providing the potential for severe storms and tornadoes there is the cap can break! Stay tuned! I'll update as this situation develops!
