Been a member since May of 2006, long before you charged for membership cards. You had promised to mail me some back then, I've never received even after sending emails to you folks. I'd appreciate if someone got back to me on that already! :) I am an amateur chaser- having chased all throughout TX and OK for 5 1/2 years. Moved to the Northeast and am planning a trip back during May 21-27 with my new HD video cam. Glad to finally get back on.

If interested go to this website (www.cocorahs.org) I have my whole family involved.

I am out there during floods, blizzards, tornados, gustnados, 100 degree temps to below negative zero temps, studying a little rain cloud or studying a massive supercell. The greatest chase I have ever encountered was 5 tornados all in one county within just a few hours back in 2002. Most chasers are lucky to see just one within a week.

Any and every storm no matter where it is, is different and complex in it's own DNA! The thrill of something powerful, beautiful, but yet dangerous, has such an awsome impact on me, that since i was a kid i've been hooked to storms and chasing them also! May GOD keep us all safe from any danger from any weather event, especially the storm chasers like me. GOD Bless you all!!! See ya out there! :0) Weather and it’s extreme formation and changes is what drives me to see something new everytime.
