Apparently he is well known for his fearlessness in jumping right into the path of storms and getting footage that would have others losing their lunch. He was responsible for the recent ABC documentary on the May 3 1999 Oklahoma tornado outbreak, including perhaps the most up-close footage of an F5 ever filmed. Everyone who saw it will know what I mean! The documentary is available on video to buy from the website and a blow-by-blow account of the day's chase is there as well. Recommended viewing! http://www.accessatlanta.com/FEATURES/tornadotracker/page001.html Dion +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ To unsubscribe from aussie-weather send e-mail to:majordomo at world.std.com with "unsubscribe aussie-weather your_email_address" in the body of your message. -----------------------jacob at iinet.net.au------------------------------
