"Point bein, even in the contest between man and storm, the issue is not certain."

You are way too kind Lori!!! Thanks so much! Every chase day is definitely an A+ even if my luck and decision making is an F 😂

Thanks so much HGB!! It is always a fun challenge trying to pull calm cinematic shots out of the chaos of a chase day - something I don't think I'll ever get bored of.

It was so crazy that we'd never met in person till then, and it's even crazier that this was nearly 3 years ago now!

Oh jeez thanks so much! Don't be fooled though, I'm just a bad chaser trying to cover it up with silly opening credits and editing.😅

Dang thanks a bunch!!! Always happy when someone likes our chase videos, but really I just do it for myself since each chase day is so special.

I suspect that when the HAARP constellation points towards a particular thunderstorm, there is a sort of "spillover" effect on any nearby rainshowers as well. This might create the precipitation "black hole" you refer to. What would also be interesting to observe is whether this spillover has the opposite effect. Say a particular cyclonic supercell is targeted for suppression. Would the spillover spin up any nearby left splits into more powerful storms?? This is what makes this whole game so dangerous.

​@@StephenStormLogInteresting! I think you're definitely onto something about left splits spinning off from spillover. To enhance safety and prevent further issues with this, more cities need to invest in large magnet-like antennas to prevent storms from hitting population centers. An example of a success story with this technology comes out of St. Louis, Missouri. Every time the arch is turned on, it seemingly creates a forcefield around the metro. There are several examples of this effect working, and as soon as storms clear the city (and the arch), they tend to strengthen rapidly across rural Illinois.

@@bucket74 The Arch Effect was certainly a good proof of concept but also has a weakness: it can only hit a storm from one side, whereas the HAARP sats can basically surround a storm from LEO. My theory is that after the constellation got up and running, individual emitters for each metro area just wasn't cost effective.

Thanks so much!! Always a good day when we're chasing in your state! Garden City is probably our favorite town to stay in!

It's ok, in some past life I was a hype beast shitcoin influencer who made low effort Dragonballz-LinkinPark mashups with millions of subs. This is my due penance. But no, I'm just happy some folks enjoy these dumb chase videos.

Oh man that means so much! I love a good multi-day vacation chase in exotic locales (like SW Kansas!!!!!!!!), but there is something special about a close-to-home day chase. Especially when you can get as lucky as the Las Vegas day.

Thanks as always hvf!!! You ready for 2024 season yet? Can't believe it's already right on the doorstep.

Come out some spring and join us for a chase!!!

What kinda no-budget indie movies are you watching??? :) :) Seriously can't thank you enough for your generosity using your footage from the Las Vegas day. In the mythos of New Mexico tornadoes, it's hard to name a more iconic shot than yours. Dora 1 and 2 are up there, but man your timelapse with the occlusion cut into the updraft column is so killer.

Thanks Hunter, your comments are always so encouraging. However, in this case I cannot take any credit for this information. I am simply a humble messenger trying to get out this important message to the public who deserves to know - despite a concerted cover-up effort by the WCB.

I completely understand, the state of your confidential research and operations are *safe* with me!@@StephenStormLog

Probably a combination of corn, wheat, and nuclear missile silos.

Possibly the dorkiest editing decision ever :)

Lol thanks so much Clay. Yea it was never a contest, Beach Boys all the way :)

Thanks so much as always!!! 🐉🐉🐉

Many thanks!

Much appreciate Lucas :)

Aww man thanks so much. And you better believe ChroChao has long been a regular staple on our TV!

@@StephenStormLog It's an honor to be on your TV, thanks! Hope we can meet in the field one day!

Excellent point, my theory is WCB considered b e n k e l m a n and h a y s to be lower tier and less public risk that day. As a cost cutting factor they deployed only a single team, which wouldn't have been possible if they were also targeting the other 2 tornadoes that day.

Their uniforms were absolutely indistinguishable from standard issue Storm Prediction Center garb - to the point where you have to wonder... inside job??

Very much so. No way those graphics could have been faked.

No, this is deadly serious and has major implications to our way of life as Americans and as storm chasers. I could not sit idly by.

@@StephenStormLogdude, Norway!

@@OayxYT sir, Yemen!

As long as there are storms and I can get out there to chase them - will do! Thanks so much.

Haha thanks so much cj! I promise I have more videos coming out!! I just checked and I have 1.2 terabytes of timelapse and video from the 2022 and 2023 seasons that are just barely looked at. I'm actually still just trying to finish 2021 - about 1/3 finished with the next video at this point!

Truly a chaser yahoo and I'm not afraid if he hears this!! :) :)

@@StephenStormLog LOL 😆. True!

We have! Once on February 26 (earliest chase ever) and once on April 4th - caught a nice rope tornado near Pleasantville, IA. Man it's gonna be years before I catch up to that video isn't it.

@@StephenStormLog Nice to hear you caught that Pleasantville tor. I’ve been watching some of your old chase videos and It got me wondering, do you have an alltime favorite chase/tornado? I’d imagine Wray and Rozel have gotta be waaayyy up there, I would kill to see one of those in person

@@variant1 Oh man tough question, but yea you probably nailed the top 2. The Wray experience may never happen again in my lifetime. We got to sit in one spot for nearly an hour, hardly any precip, watching this amazing supercell move in and drop spinups, and then have the main tornado pass half a mile to our east. Luckiest dang day of my life.

I wonder which singular water molecule has been in the most tornadoes over earth's history. Lucky H2O.

Thanks so much Hunter!! Yep I've definitely been in the lucky position of being out of position - every so often that works :) So glad yall were able to catch Selden. I still kick myself for noting how nice the pre-Selden towers looked, and then continuing to drive south anyway. I totally lost awareness where the boundary was as the afternoon progressed. Oh well, plenty to learn for the upcoming season, and plenty of new mistakes to make :)

Thanks Hunter! Did yall have more luck than we did up in SD?

Ouch. We saw the Selden towers going up but I was sure they'd be north of the boundary and only a fool would stay that far north. As you said.... ooops! Only thing left to do is make fun of ourselves.

Lol thanks 91RT! What if I added a bunch of pointless TWWB memes, like "I! DRINK! YOUR! MLCAPE!!!" Would that change your mind!? :) :)

@@StephenStormLog LOL 😂, NOPE! I'd probably watch your videos nonstop 🤣

Thank so much!!!

Thanks tekjess! Gotta do something to ease the pain of these poorly-chased days. Unfortunately I'm sure there are many more in my future!

@@StephenStormLog but there will be many more great chase days in the future as well!

@@tekjess_ haha that's the spirit!

Hey Bill! I also share your supermarket ability - to the point where I now try to choose the one I think looks worst, and even that backfires. We're you down south this day too? If so, I'm so sorry and I hope you get to make a Zach-Braff-on-ecstasy-looking-at-storms face soon!

I feel you. Heather asks me which line we should join, then purposely picks another one. Didn't get to chase much in 2021; work completely buried me. I was out chasing on the 8th and 21st of May and that was about it. I tried another chase in early June but I was so tired and out of it I decided it was too dangerous to chase alone and turned around (pansy mode!)

Many thanks Andrew!

Thanks so much! Skip is the best!

Man I heard about so many people almost getting stuck in mud north of Leoti - I was scared to death to leave concrete! Thanks so much Adam - and sorry for your loss this day! :)

Right? Skip was the perfect Easter Egg - despite the cruelty of asking him to relive his own similar bust that day. Thanks Danny!
