My hopes are that the tornado shall lift me up to immense heights at incredible speeds and shoot me out the top. I shall then pull my ripcord and sail safely back to the ground, while staring upon the tornado as it moves away after my ride through its intense vortex. I will of course attempt this within an open area (such as a field or prairie) so that the amount of debris within the tornado will be at a minimum (so as not to be simply smashed by a doghouse or impaled upon a fence post). As a research center, what are your initial thoughts on this? I am seeking educated opinions before attempting this, but it is something I am seriously cosidering. Can you tell me how long a tornado generally holds on to an object? And will it most likely propel me high enough to have a chance to right myself, pull the rip cord and sail back to the ground? What do you think about all of this? As I said, I am entirely serious about this, and will attempt it. It may sound insane, but someone got the idea to jump from a plane, or tie themselves to a bridge and leap off, and it probably sounded equally as insane, so I'd be interested to hear what you think. Any response is appreciated. Thank you for your time. =============================================================== My take on this: boredom produces strange desires...

All it would take is one flying cow tangling up with his parachute and he'd be stuffed (: Perhaps an explanation that tornadoes have windspeeds around 300mph+++ plus flying cows, houses, trucks and assorted other debris is flying around in there as well which would certainly shred his parachute, if not him.

Been going cross-eyed trying to keep my Current Cyclone Information Page at http://www.ace-net.com.au/~carls/current.htm up to date with the plethora of warning links appearing on the BoM website. The Brisbane one came through a while before the Darwin one, so I guess they decided that a FLASH warning was in order and did it. I guess when the threat to Mornington Island is well past, Qld will back off and let Darwin do it. Even more curious is the Darwin issued High Seas Weather Warning on this system which says the next warning will be issued by WEATHER PERTH!

We did the whole circuit from along the Lowther/Bindo spur right into Jenolan Caves (Even checked out Caves House, for some reason) and then drove past the Mt. Trickett radio tower and then proceded to list a few side roads into Shooters Hill, and also homesteads etc, in case I get snowed in. It is somewhat remote out this way, especially in winter. We visited a farm stay cottage around 7 k's north of Oberon and were very impressed with the accomodation, the scenery and most of all the owners. The guy used to fly all over the area in his own plane (before his stroke) and knows quite a lot about the area/weather stories etc as he moved there over 40 years ago. He was particularly interested in the ASWA although I stressed I was strictly an amateur weather enthusiast. The farmstay cottage is from the 19th century, (kinda daub/rendered walls) and has been renovated to sleep four in bunks and then a double bed too with all mod cons, albeit nothing fancy. Looks like we might make some good friends with these folk (we have booked to stay there for five days in July) and the place would make a great base for some snow chasing in the area, as its to the north which means you could generally get there on most snow days (except for those heavy days) and wait for the graders to clear the worst affected areas. All in all, it was a great day. And now if it could just snow when we are there this July!

Well, we had the coldest January day on record this year, on the 4th (I think), when the thermometer reached a staggering max of 12 degrees C... We've had no decent rain since last april, and many trees around Hobart have been losing their leaves since early Jan. Interestingly, we had 3 days in a row with thunderstorms last summer, and pretty good ones at that. Dec 24th, 25th and 26th we had awsome thunderstorms. Can't recall any more off the top of my head.

BTW, i have finally found some motivation to update the Recent Events section of BSCH (you would be surprised what a summer of coastal showers and SE winds does to you).. a report on the rain last night, TC Steve, and the redevelopment of TC Steve (Anthony did this one) have been added.. http://www.bsch.simplenet.com/products/recentevents.htm James Chambers wrote: > > >I noticed Tweed Heads had 145 mm to 9 am this morning. > >Any storms?? > >Don White > > Hi Don, everyone > > If there were any storms, you would have seen 1000 emails about them by > now!!! > > It was mostly a lot of very intense 'small-medium drop' rain, frequent > showers and drizzle.

Isn't this La Nina, the time of rain, and moisture . It has been the driest summer since 1986 and the driest February since 1979. Considering there have been some years of extreme drought between then and now, its certainly a change in the trends. It is very dry and dusty driving around Penrith and surrounds, although i think in the lower blue mountains we seem to get many more showers than on the plains. For example tonite we got a bit of a downpour at Blaxland, probably not much, but a few minutes down the mountain, nothing.
