“Jackass” Chasers Take The Spotlight Again!
Comments and Opinions…. Well I can always tell when it’s “that” time of year. No, not by the changing weather, but rather, when my email box and phone lines start twitching. The burst of communication is not storm-related as usual. Instead, I’m bombarded with legions of comments and complaints from EMS personnel, law enforcement, chasers, researchers and the general public concerning the show Stormchasers and others.

Read MoreEscape From Galveston
After an exhausting, but action-packed 48 hours with little or no sleep, I have departed Galveston in route to my hurricane chase base in Pensacola. It was about a six hour adventure (using a complex of back roads), to travel from Galveston to the LA border.
