My 2007 Chase Year was pretty good. I was able to chase a lot more and thus I had a lot more success. Click here for a summary of my 2007 storm chase year.

Whenever I am out storm chasing a link will appear on the main page that will notify you that I am out storm chasing. The link will be to this . You will be able to see a webcam image, current position shown on radar, and (if internet connection speeds allow) a low quality live broadcast.

For the next few months I will be storm chasing on weekends if its a good setup and locally nearly any day.

I am now storm chasing for ABC 40/29 in Fort Smith & Fayetteville, Arkansas. So if you are in Eastern Oklahoma or Western and Northwest Arkansas be sure to watch 40/29 during severe weather to have the latest and best severe weather information.

I will be providing them with pictures in near real time as well as video so you can see whats heading your way or whats already impacted you and your friends and family. You wont see the storms or the damage they leave behind any quicker than by watching 40/29.

Check out the 40/29 Website

& check out the 40/29 Weather Blog

During severe weather check the blog as I will be posting pictures and storm reports there as well.

SpotterNetwork

I am now part a part of the spotternetwork. You can now see my real time GPS position if you have GrLevel with the AllisonHouse Data. My id is hogstorm.

If you dont have GrLevel or the AllisonHouse Data you can still see me on the spotternetwork website at: http://www.spotternetwork.org/google.php again with id of hogstorm.

Additionally, I made a new part of my website that I am calling "The Chase!". You can see a live webcam and I will also have a link from that page to a "quick report page" which will have preliminary pictures and information concering the current storm chase.
