Wind Shear On Steroids....
« on: March 28, 2016, 05:45:40 PM »
We have a pretty wild Easter Sunday weather day.  A funnel cloud was spotted within a few miles of my cams and there was a lot to look at all day....  Including Mammatus clouds.

Greetings,

What a crazy day! Lower level winds slow, mid level winds absolutely crazy.
Thank you for sharing a very dynamic day.

Randall

There was a funnel cloud spotted about 15 miles east of me.  My Cam3 looks in that direction.  Here is an article about it.  They used some of my video in this as well....  http://komonews.com/weather/radar/funnel-cloud-spotted-over-mill-creek

That's a good motto to get others involved in their communities like that. Weather is always going on; a little (Or for some, maybe a lot) time and work, and it can be captured for everyone to see!  8-)
