Well I have had 2 succesfull chases this year.  One particular chase took place June 3rd 2009, starting in Rexburg and then I drove to the 15 and headed South to around Blackfoot.  I encountered 1 inch hail and was afraid the windhield or van might get damaged. I got lucky to say the least.  Once i got out of the hail I noticed a storm to my south was developing and had a wall cloud.

The storm was Severe Warned for hail and wind and in the warning there was mention of slight rotation.  I watched from Right off the Interstate 15 Highway till the storm eventually weakened and got into the Highlands/Mountains.

There was also June 5 2009,  The Incredible Complex Line of storms that moved North and stayed mainly in the Snake River plain.  As the Line progressed North the Storm filled in from West to East and Intensified.  By the time It reached Idaho Falls it went severe and the fun began.  I filmed and shot photos from my Backyard all the way till the storm got directly overhead.  The storm was warned for winds and possible hail and there was also rotation.  63mph winds occured over my area along with Pea sized hail and a few slightly larger than 1/4 inch.

There are storms predicted thru next week and occasional Strong to Severe thunderstorms are possible.  On days that storms can develop from strong to severe I will be active trying to get footage.  Its an active year so far and we are only in June. 

Keep an eye on the youtube channel and Photo Gallery for updates.  I know I havent been updating this blog lately and will try to fit in more time to update you guys on whats going on. 

Have a great Weekend and keep checking back for new photos and video.

Ok, I just found a neat webcam application called WebCamMax.  This application is loaded with all sorts of neat effects and options to make any Live Chat or youtube video a real hit.  There is an option that really caught my eye and that it the ability for Picture in Picture ability and also an option to stream a movie for friends or for your buisness.  This application costs about 49 dollars for a lifetime license.  If you ask me that is quite the price for an app with this many options.   Okay, lets start naming a few options that will make your youtube or live stream 90% more exciting. 

With WebCamMax you can add all sorts of Overlays that will show with your video.  You can also doodle on your image and even add a background of your choice.  There is also an option which has been released with the New Nintendo DS where you can morph your face, well guess what, WebCamMax has that ability and more. 

What if you went on a trip and captured some amazing footage and all your friends and family wanted to see it.  Well with WebcamMax you can stream your captured footage as a Movie.

The User Interface is very well designed and makes for very easy operation in my opinion.  This application is Compatible with Windows 2000, XP and Vista 32bit OS and the newest version is even Compatible on Windows Vista 64bit.  How often does an application have the option to work for an operating system as late as Windows 2000?  This is great news for all webcam enthusiasts and will no doubt meet the demand in the current video market.  Youtube users of all sorts and Live streamers and Buiness’s need to jump on this great webcam application and experience what WebCamMax is all about. This application will bring new dimension to all sorts of Video genres.  

Where can you expect to see WebcamMax?  Well I have already seen WebCamMax on the Live Stormchasing websites, I have also seen videos on youtube made with webcamMax and practically anywhere else you see live video.  You will no doubt find all my future videos to be made with WebCamMax and all my live streams will all take place with the application as well. 

Where can you get this program you ask?

Go there now and get your fill of WebCamMax. 

Even if you arent satisfied yet, go there and take a trial run of the software.  Yes, you can try the software for free before you buy.  I gaurantee you will want to buy the Application called WEBCAMMAX after you try it.

The threat for thunderstorms will gradually increase starting Wednesday afternoon and by Thursday we could even see some strong to even severe thunderstorms.  I dont have a chase planned yet but will be watching in case anything pops up.  I do hope for some Nocturnal thunderstorms so I can get some lightning photo and video.  I have been watching the Storm prediction center forecasts and dont see anything yet that will lead to a chase opportunity.  For now I am hoping to have an all nighter with some great lightning. 

Check back in the next couple of days to see what I have been up to. 

Other than storms I have been working in the yard.  Today I planted 18 rasberry plants and do hope that they make it.  I also planted several strawberry plants so I can get a patch in the backyard.  My front yard patch of strawberry doesnt get enough sunlight for big berries and do believe by late summer I will have a ton of big strawberries.  I also hope to have a great harvest of rasberries as well.  I am planning to do some vegetable gardening as well and have a new area picked out. My old area didnt get enough sunlight either, however I will use the old area to plant low sunlight plants. 

Spring is here and it is lovely.  Our highs are in the 70’s and the grass is turning green faster then I can count to 5, lol.  The winter was a long one and I hope Spring and summer lasts a good while cause Im sure not ready for winter to come back. 

By the way, we could see snow this weekend.  I doubt it will stick, but just wanted to let you know. 

Thanks for stopping by and hope you like the new look.
