mesoman7, rest assured that your efforts are appreciated, and take comfort that your warnings have saved countless lives. Thank you for your effort.

I remember when a local TV station installed their new Doppler radar back in the early 80s. One Sunday morning their tracking and warnings surely saved many lives - mine included - as they tracked a storm that hit (among other places) Mannford, OK. Though lives were lost (as I recall), I'm certain that more lives would have been lost were it not for the efforts of Gary Shore in Tulsa.

I appreciate the comments.

I have to admit...even though it is a high stakes game and the stress level extreme, I loved it. Many of us in this field feel the same. We certainly don't cheer the destruction and death, but we relish the action. Another form of adrenaline junkies.

I am older now, and taking it easier out west. I'll leave the major outbreaks for the younger guys.
