Thank you Mike for telling me about this forum. I am happy to join and look forward to discussing severe weather topics. As you know you saw my video of photographic stills on YouTube of the incredible storm my city had back on October 12, 2006. This part of California is pretty mild, weather wise, and this storm was a surprise to everyone. A little history on me is that my father has been a climatologist by hobby since he was a Boy Scout. He has taught me a lot about weather and now I am a weather nut too. He has also taught me a lot about safety. So if any of your members out there watch the video that I made I just want to make sure that they understand that I never once stepped outside the safety of my car. The camera was set up on the passenger seat and I moved around when the lightning got too close.
Once again I look forward to being on this forum. Have a great day.
The Lightning Lady
