SSDD
I know right now if I knew how to forecast i could be chasing storms in the seabreeze boundaries but I'm not going to put my self in danger because of lack of knowledge.
Its going to take time and alot of learning... Taking courses on meteorology, Taking more skywarn classes reading blogs of those with knowledge. Next year at this time will be a little more exciting because i know i will venture out for more then A backyard chase I will have more knowledge. Then the years after that watch out!! You might see my stuff on T.V!!! Let me ref raze that You will see my footage on some kind of weather related news.
So just think your watching me from the beginning, watching me grow. I just Want to thank Jenn aka Dew drop And Jeff gammon's, Bill&collin Doms,Also ALL myspace storm chasers . For letting me read your thoughts Letting me no the rules and regulations( Bill) showing me your world of servere weather letting me share your passion.
All of you are my teachers and I do hope one day we have a chance to meet, maybe share a chase and have a steak dinner.

Ohhh Guess what ?? I have another new addition to the faimly,A little Black kitty no older then my little Noah showed up under my bedroom window in the early morning yesterday, you could tell he hasn't been with humans because he was pretty mean hissing and spatting he ran away from me the first time and i thought well maybe he just went home. Two hours later he was back and i got him cleaned him up introduced him to noah and fed him poor little guy he ate like he hasn't ate in awhile.
My son adores him, I guess were gonna keep him. So now that's 2 cats 2 dogs 3 birds and a bunny. Like jenny said

I think he will be named Nader

Noah is six weeks now and so cute

Well thank you for reading and have a Wonderful day!!!

HAIL (3/4 inch or greater)

Hail can cause significant damage to your vehicle, break windows and damage roofs of homes and businesses.
Hail can cause significant bodily injuries such as broken bones and even blindness if wind blown.
Softball (4.5 inches) sized hail was reported in Lake Wales, Florida on March 30, 1996.
Haildrifts, up to four feet deep of dime to nickel sized hail, occurred in low-lying areas near Zephyrhills, Florida on January 29, 1997.
Hailstones the size of softballs can fall at speeds faster than 100 mph

supercell

Supercells derive their rotation through tilting of horizontal vorticity (an invisible horizontal vortex) caused by wind shear. Strong updrafts lift the air turning about a horizontal axis and cause this air to turn about a vertical axis. This forms the deep rotating updraft, the mesocyclone.
A cap or capping inversion is usually required to form a downdraft of sufficient strength. The cap puts an inverted (warm-above-cold) layer above a normal (cold-above-warm) boundary layer, and by preventing warm surface air from sinking too far, allows one or both of the following:
Air below the cap warms and/or becomes more moist
Air above the cap cools
This creates a warmer, moister layer below a cooler layer, which is increasingly unstable (because warm air is less dense and tends to rise). When the cap weakens or moves, explosive development follows.
In North America, supercells usually show up on Doppler radar as starting at a point or hook shape on the southwestern side, fanning out to the northeast. The heaviest precipitation is usually on the southwest side, ending abruptly short of the rain-free updraft base or main updraft (not visible to radar). The rear flank downdraft, or RFD, carries precipitation counterclockwise around the north and northwest side of the updraft base, producing a "hook echo" that indicates the presence of a mesocyclone.
