Anyone that is interested on live storm chasing feeds, on satellite 72W Ku band the TWC has a storm chasing crew out with a live uplink on that satellite.
You need a Ku band dish and a digital satellite receiver to view it though
The past few days the uplink has been active and on the air.

I prefer to run away from tornadoes instead of toward them. :bolt:

Why not watch TWC on regular Cable/Satellite TV?
They always have live feeds of Tornadoes and chasers.

I do have TWC, but I also love to watch the live uplinks and the stuff that you would miss otherwise when the TWC is not broadcasting the chasers live

TWC is one of my favorite channels. Other than oogling the weather girls, I actually have learned quite a bit.

Sometimes I wish I still lived in OK. I'm fascinated. I know I can't be the only one here who has "see a live tornado" on his bucket list.

I've seen many tornadoes first hand. I seen doubles on two occassions.
While it is interesting and at times intense being in close proximity, you have to remember there are lives and property at stake whenever one touches down.
It's a game to find them but not a game "when" you find them.

How were you in a position to see so many of them?
I lived in OK first as a young child, then for 5 or 6 years as a teen-young adult.
I've seen storms with wall clouds and developing funnels that may have matured as tornadoes somewhere down the line, also seen the damage path of a few of them but never saw one on the ground.

I havnt seen one and dont want to see one. They told us one passed thru an airbase flightline when I was on duty, and everyone took cover but the Military Police :confused:. We had to stay out there but I never actually saw it. It just looked like a T-storm from Hell to me.
But I saw enough to not want to actually see one. I saw some bad storms in Texas too where I was told Tornados were spawned.I dont like Lightening, high winds, tornados, hurricanes and the like. :bolt:

If it is somehow viewed as disrespectful to the victims of such storms that I would like to see something so awesome and powerful, perhaps I should clarify that I would prefer it be one in open country that doesn't endanger unfortunate people in its path.

Traveling around the US. I lived in every state in the US except for Alaska and Hawaii. I lived in South America, Mexico and Canada.
One night, years ago, in Louisianna it was stormy to the extreme. My Dad, brother, and myself stood outside and could see a large tornado in one area and a tall thin tornado just a couple of miles from it. You could only see them when the lightning flashed, which was often.
I've seen several here in Texas and the plain states. It is awe inspiring to view but my amazement was eclipsed by the fact that I knew property was being destroyed and that some of the damage I was seeing had to have folks inside.

I did not take your post as disrespectful of folks involved in a storm. I know that you meant you'd love to experience one first hand without being in it or having others harmed.

I've ridden out 2 twisters. One at a jobsite that wiped out our plant. The other at home with nowhere to run. It picked up my well house and carried it 200 yards away. I thought it was going to do the same with the house. I watched my ceiling move up and down 6". That's as close as I ever want to get and hope it never happens again. :pray

had at least one microburst which deflated a local Arena (its mainly held up by air pressure rather than supports) and possibly a tornado two counties away here in western PA. It rain all day today, most of it being very heavy.
