I really don't have a Skywarn program that I participate in at this time, that will be something I will look into after I learn more... I have to take your online test in the next few days then I will decide what to do then. I originally came from around the Madison Wisconsin area where I was introduced to stormchasing from one of my old bosses where I used to work, he used to not only chase the storms but also was a spotter when he could not get away from his work place... He gave me a few pointers on what to look for and I found this to be pretty cool and wanted to be a chaser/spotter just like he was only to not take as many chances like he does at this time... so I started chasing part time (mostly when I was out and about and heading in the same direction as the storm) otherwise I was just a spotter watching from the safety of my home. I moved down to Mims Florida in 1996 with my family and never gave up the stormchasing/spotting habit so I thought I would join the Skywarn program to try to do some good for everyone. I don't have a HAM radio but a handheld CB radio (I even have some big ones stored in the garage here at home if I need them) which I think still would get someone if I needed too... Again, I thank everyone for your warm welcome and I hope to see everyone around sometime. I am sincerely, Daniel L. McDonald Daniel L.

I've always thought about becoming a storm spotter but never done anything about it. I haven't gone through any training yet. I'm fascinated by severe weather. Last year an EF4 tornado went over my house and touched down just up the hillside across the street. We were fine and had no damage to our house, but some people in my neighborhood lost everything, and 3 people died. I'm glad to be getting started in this.
