Welcome to the weather page!

If you see any mistakes here, or have some good weather links you want me to add, please email me! :)

I first became interested in weather when I was quite young. At first I was terrified of bad weather, and especially of tornadoes, even though I had never experienced one. Finally, as I got older, I began to study them more carefully and finally lost my weird fear about it. Of course I'm still wary of tornadoes, but I don't cry every time a tornado warning is issued now. (ha ha!)

Storm chasing has always been a special interest of mine. Despite what you might see on TV, storm chasing is not an occupation where you "wing it!" It's very dangerous if you don't know what you're doing (and can turn dangerous in seconds even when you DO know what you're doing!), and should only be done by people who know how storms (usually) work, and who have ready access to current weather conditions and radar. Lightning is the biggest danger to a storm chaser, not the tornado! In fact only about 1 in 10 chases will be rewarded with a glimpse of a tornado! If you're interested in chasing storms, please read the webpages of veteran storm chasers, and take their advice seriously! You can find a few of these pages listed lower on this page under "Storm Chasing."

Since one of my other interests is photography, I enjoy documenting the various types of weather we have here in TX with pictures.

Again, please email me if you have questions about this page! :)
