Day 5 update - Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrr

Had you fooled, bet you thought from the title we caught a tornado, no of course we didn't, that would mean having some luck for once! We did however have a Pirate themed day as Stu (number one hurricane chaser and TV legend in the UK) and Rich (another crazy driver) decided to talk like a pirate for the day. Doesn't sound that amuzing, but as all the four cars are hooked up by radio, it got quite funny when all the conversations were in pirate speak. Some people dressed up with what we could find in the truck stop.

Today was worse than yesterday, we chased one storm, thought we almost saw a landspout tornado which turned out to be rain shear, then chased another storm which had a really great wall cloud.

Tomorrow we're leaving Denver (finally) and heading down to Texas where we should finally get some severe weather as the required hot winds are coming in from Mexico. Get some!

Off to the bar now, it's Bill's birthday, you know Bill, he's the one that wrote the music score to Starship Troopers 2. He'll like that plug :o)
