I am not only doing this because of the season but of the other forces that have effected my family, friends and neighbors in recent days.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Where I live, Fort Wayne, Indiana experienced a bad winter storm of snow, ice,  and bitter single digit temperatures.   A result of that wicked combination was over 100k households in the span of about 3 hours lost power on Friday 12/19/08.  My house was one of them.  I was not worried.  I am prepared. I have a disaster plan and supplies, but I was in a world of hurt.  The problem was that with any disaster is that most people DO NOT prepare, and thus the problems begin.  With this storm, the bitter cold was the enemy.  I had hooked up &quot;Mr Grumpy&quot; my 6800k generator, to keep the furnace and basics working. I also rigged up my neighbors furnace and had their house covered too.  All around me was darkness, for 30 blocks in every direction, I had a serious concern about theft and looting.  I have no worries in that dept. either, I am armed. Since most of my neighbors had left and knew I was staying, they ask me to  look over their houses.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To keep my sanity,  I kept a routine, fire roaring, lights off, and every two hours make the rounds of the ten or so houses around me and of course check &quot;Mr. Grumpy&quot;.   Between rounds, a little shut eye, catching up on reading ( with my led headlamp)  and stoking the fire.   The storm had also dropped a large amount of tree limbs across roads, over cars and on houses. The sound of all the ice and wind was the most unique sound I have ever experienced.  On day 3 I really got worried, most stores were out of supplies, and the gas station nearest to me lost power. I did have 18 gallons in reserve, but in this instance, I had 3 extra gas cans and so I ventured out to fill them. (a four hour venture).  &lt;span class=&quot;blsp-spelling-corrected&quot; id=&quot;SPELLING_ERROR_0&quot;&gt;OK&lt;/span&gt;, so on top of all this, I had to go check on my Alzheimer&#39;s mother and her facility.   All good there, they actually had a &lt;span class=&quot;blsp-spelling-corrected&quot; id=&quot;SPELLING_ERROR_2&quot;&gt;primary&lt;/span&gt; and secondary generator and had not lost power.   In addition, I am watching over my 98 year old Great Aunt Clara.   A few problems there, the &quot;Independent Living&quot; facility where she lives was dark.  Apparently, state code does not require them to have back-up power.  Needless to say. I gave them a bitching out after discovering the lack of generators.   I tried to get  them to describe to me what the difference is between profits and doing the right thing is.    I made arrangements to get my great aunt to a relatives house with power.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enough of my long and boring story, lets jump to today.  Power is restored and everyone is back where they belong in my family.   Others are not so lucky.   As of this writing, approx. 17k homes still have no power.   A note on the Power Company.   American Electric Power took a shotgun blast on this weather event.   Their response was nothing more than heroic.   They have done an outstanding job, bringing in crews totaling 1300.   I personally saw over a dozen different convoys of trucks and charter buses of crews. On the second day, at a staging area, they must have had 300 trucks gathered in a Wal-Mart store parking lot.   I saw that and knew the Calvary had arrived!  I saw trucks from North Carolina and Tennessee.    They have gone beyond the duty to work around the clock to get the power restored.   One thing I failed to mention are the 35+ mph winds after the storm.  This posed a dangerous threat to the crews trying to work outside and a threat to tearing down the repairs already done.    I cannot say enough for these workers, they really saved the day!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Think about how you will prepare for 2009, think about how you will handle the adversity, think about how important your family is and what they mean to you.  If you are prepared, you can handle anything...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Merry Christmas to all-May Christ warm your heart with his love.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://stormcam.blogspot.com/feeds/1735635785866813826/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/13463809/1735635785866813826' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13463809/posts/default/1735635785866813826'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13463809/posts/default/1735635785866813826'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://stormcam.blogspot.com/2008/12/world-of-hurt.html' title='A World of Hurt'/><author><name>Johnathan Brouwer</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07557037703873321244</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='26' src='http://bp0.blogger.com/_sY_f-DfEEGw/R6KJB1spiAI/AAAAAAAAAA8/etKKgmmFdnQ/S220/john+webcam+photo1.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13463809.post-258609801565430436</id><published>2008-12-02T12:24:00.006-05:00</published><updated>2008-12-02T12:38:51.936-05:00</updated><title type='text'>A Sweet New Post</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot; href=&quot;http://www.lawrencevilleweather.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/120108.gif&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 386px; height: 301px;&quot; src=&quot;http://www.lawrencevilleweather.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/120108.gif&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is another post from me.

I believe that region will be the spot where was seasons to be weather, the SPC is put out a moderate risk for that area today but I just wanted to update everybody and let them know that I will not be going out chasing but I will be watching it as close as I can on the computer and on the website so I hope you all have a great day.

Post a comment on them and let me know what you think.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I just got all my &quot;geeky&quot; weather stuff put on the chasemobile, I&#39;ll try to post a few pics.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Weather seems to be breaking into more typical patterns recently, so I EXPECT  chases to for me to happen soon.  To be honest, many of us in the chase community are concerned about the cost of gas and how it will effect us.    I think you will see the parameters tighten for many and see less slight chance chases vs moderate to high risk chases.  keep checking back for LIVE video links.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finally, a shout out to my buddies on &lt;a href=&quot;http://cybernations.net&quot;&gt;cybernations.net&lt;/a&gt;  .

Above that, you will  start to get motion blur.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mike gave some great tips on ow to shoot photos of storms, if you are interested in shooting lightning, consider looking at this site: &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.lightningtrigger.com/&quot;&gt;lightningtrigger.com&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;It is a device you attach to your camera that helps to trigger the camera when a strike happens.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;9:25 am&lt;/span&gt; Jon Davies begins his presentation: &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;Forecasting for Non-Supercell Tornados&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;Jon once again gives a great insight on gustnados, land spouts and QLCS squall line tornado&#39;s.

The southern outbreak was tragic as many people were injured and some lost their lives. Many Chasers, myself included hope that our documenting and assisting in reporting severe weather events can avert this type of damage. The hope is that our reports and sightings will assist the forecasters in some small way of expanding their warning windows for the general public.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As it is especially important this year, and every year at about this time, we as storm chasers start to look at what type of season it may play out to be. For you that read my blog on a regular basis, you know that I am not a trained forecaster nor am I a meteorologist.. I simply use my passion and expertise as a hobby to provide some insight to weather events. with that being said, here is some fine reading concerning the 2008 storm season:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From the &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;International Research for Climate and Society&lt;/span&gt;. This shows a number of models combined to predict a increase in severe wx for 2008.  If you want to see specifics and details from the report, please visit the their site at:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://iri.columbia.edu/climate/ENSO/currentinfo/SST_table.html&quot;&gt;http://iri.columbia.edu/climate/ENSO/currentinfo/SST_table.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From the site, if you don&#39;t like a wall of words:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot; href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqrUPMLgu1Et1JR_MGyovbZsMmxV-pIgB8JW2M3LO_rgNXfch7F_AzeiD00Trqamy81JvcViaC_OP_JgC3yehgdqiQuoYiiwYquCS606EFPbfK_Uklg035mEoPCcT2BLuCzUHQ/s1600-h/SST_table.gif&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqrUPMLgu1Et1JR_MGyovbZsMmxV-pIgB8JW2M3LO_rgNXfch7F_AzeiD00Trqamy81JvcViaC_OP_JgC3yehgdqiQuoYiiwYquCS606EFPbfK_Uklg035mEoPCcT2BLuCzUHQ/s400/SST_table.gif&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5165098313839548354&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;font-size:130%;&quot; &gt;The set of dynamical and statistical model forecasts issued during late December 2007 and early January 2008 are in agreement regarding La Nina conditions over the next couple seasons&lt;/span&gt;. The predictions of possible sea surface temperature conditions in the central/eastern equatorial Pacific, begin with moderate to strong La Nina conditions that gradually weaken through the first few months of 2008. The majority of models indicate a return to ENSO-neutral conditions by mid-to-late 2008. At the time of preparing this, the SST observations in the NINO3.4 region are below their average value, with an area-averaged weekly anomaly of -1.7 C. Tropical Pacific oceanic and atmospheric conditions suggest moderate La Nina conditions are likely through early 2008.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And from the &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;Storm Prediction Center&lt;/span&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.spc.noaa.gov/climo/torn/monthlytornstats.html&quot;&gt;http://www.spc.noaa.gov/climo/torn/monthlytornstats.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot; href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilDy178Kiph6iQlXk3U4CyfCqWLvLUMib6PHRqi35OCj04SfVXZGqf0usZHLV7TjypCdVRkitUZp6MM2m_LCqKYXEIYVUEAaE-AMdkKigDuCGJ-PxjQC9R0DNf_-XaDJfRVxhO/s1600-h/torgraph.png&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilDy178Kiph6iQlXk3U4CyfCqWLvLUMib6PHRqi35OCj04SfVXZGqf0usZHLV7TjypCdVRkitUZp6MM2m_LCqKYXEIYVUEAaE-AMdkKigDuCGJ-PxjQC9R0DNf_-XaDJfRVxhO/s400/torgraph.png&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5165098756221179858&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This chart only goes back to 2005, it also includes the 10 year average. I know its early, but it looks as if we might have another season like 1999. But who knows!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We will see what the 2008 season turns out to be... Our plan is to be out for more chases and miles than ever before for this season.  We are trying to refine and gain the experience to better predict our target areas. This winter we are trying out new technology that will help us better to see what we need to see, in addition, we plan on providing live video and data from the field.  This is most exciting for us, as we might allow others to start to experience what its like to chase storms.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wish us luck and keep checking back! Tell others about our blog!

My boys are in the Scouts, they noticed the front development and hunted me down.  I really like the waves in the second shot.

They wanted to chase severe wx but in a responsible way.  The early days saw a lot of activity, meetings, group chases and even other groups such as: ILCHASE, MICHASE and OHCHASE...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jump forward a couple of years, the group got less active, people moved on, so in stepped my current chase partner and myself.   We liked the concept, and so we adopted it with the blessing of the past group and are currently working at resurrected it.  Unfortunately, the URL has lapsed, and has been acquired (not by us) and so another group is reborn!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Clay Stahlka and myself have been working the last few seasons to get ourselves experienced and able to chase with confidence. We have a new site in the works and have been working on getting people involved again. We are doing this because we love weather, we love to chase and in doing so we if we can help the NWS and the public with our efforts, then we have accomplished what we wanted to.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I will give more details about our chase strategy, the tools and our chase vehicle.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Keep stopping by, as I will be adding more material each day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Regards, Johnathan Brouwer&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://stormcam.blogspot.com/feeds/8920013014208267811/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/13463809/8920013014208267811' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13463809/posts/default/8920013014208267811'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13463809/posts/default/8920013014208267811'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://stormcam.blogspot.com/2008/01/june-2007-camp-chief-little-turtle.html' title=''/><author><name>Johnathan Brouwer</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07557037703873321244</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='26' src='http://bp0.blogger.com/_sY_f-DfEEGw/R6KJB1spiAI/AAAAAAAAAA8/etKKgmmFdnQ/S220/john+webcam+photo1.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d132/garbunkel/Storm/th_campmamatous2.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
