Glen Yoshida said… Hi John, welcome!
I just found this site recently and wanted to give you a shout out. Glad you took a step to enrich your life and hopefully the lives of others too. If you have some photos of your storm chasing that'd be cool to see. Upload a few if you feel like it. I bet they'd be interesting.
