That programme looks class!, that would be good to get for my labtop that im bringing!, does it need much speed/space to run?

Derfil

They have a tornado warning for Bartelsville in effect as we type.

John2009

GRlevel3 is a nice program alright, cheap too for what it does and is constantly updated by the owner Mike Gibson,

he also has a new program called GRearth and that thing is awesome, but the killer is that its a subscription service of $180 per year :eek:

couple of snapshots here of it

http://www.stormreports.org/grearth.htm

to run it on a netbook depends on the specs, its not that cpu heavy but definately would want a minimum of 2GB ram

IvySlayer

Am loving the coverage from you guys

Watching Oklahoma news too.

Iancar29

Bartlesville must be Lighting up like mad right now!, non stop lightning id imagine...

Lowering of cloud base reported near tulsa.

John2009

Everything seems to be dying up in N/E Oklahoma, still firing away down in S/E Oklahoma with still a few cells going,

Storms about to whip through the Midwest, some may be severe. I don't think we'll get much tornado activity but maybe further south.

Min

9 people killed by tornadoes, three of them young children.

Just saw that. Shocking isnt it. The Carolinas are saying it might be their worst outbreak of Tornados ever.

Well above average for this time of year.

Was watching Reed Timmer near Jackson yesterday and he seemed to stop broadcasting as a big red radar echo engulfed his vehicle location. That same red radar echo hit Raleigh, 800 mile away the following day with deadly consequences.

Storms are quite likely in my neck of the woods in central Illinois. Storm system meant to develop in the afternoon, in time for me to start work.

Thunderstorms, some strong this evening with a few showers possible overnight. Damaging winds, large hail, and possibly a tornado with some storms. Low near 40F. Winds SW at 15 to 25 mph. Chance of rain 90%.

Ruu_Old

Tornado watch has been issued for most parts of central Illinois, very humid outside. Storms are meant to develop in the next few hours.
