George Kourounis in Australia

Jimmy, would you be able to post some photos perhaps of the storms you encountered by yourself and US chaser George Kourounis in this thread when he visited in December 2007 and some comments?

First,

Mike, when do you find out about George?

Second they are online in the appropriate threads - first week of December - basically December 1st to December 5th 2007.

Regards,

I was surfing the net of the more well-known chasers in the US and jumped on George's site and he has posted some images of his trip to Alice Springs and NSW with a photo of you next to your van when he was here in December.  Wondered if you had any other photos with him during that you may have taken for us to view for interests sake.  I watched a doco on desert monsoon storms on the Weather Channel yesterday which promoted my interest.

Sorry Mike,

Just saw this reply. Here is one picture of George and producer Peter filming. Of course they were so amazed at a town that could exist with 39 people haha.



It was great working with this crew and Peter promised the documentary would be put together well! The episode filmed with me is part of the Angry Planet TV show.

I've been watching his Angry Planet series, although the new one is not due out until March is that correct?  He's a nice guy and loves the adventure side of things, pretty neat to be able to travel the world doing what you love doing!  Look forward to the episode featuring you and he.
