The storm chasing community lost one of their own on February 4th.  Andy Gabrielson, founder of findthetornado.com died in car accident on I44 outside of Tulsa, OK.  He would have been 25 on the 19th.   Many members of the stormchasing community, also members of spotternetwork.org, manually updated their locations, users of software such as the GRLevelX products would have seen this tonight:   That screen capture is courtesy of Sean Casey, and the following Facebook pos...

Hey hey everyone,   As many, if not most of you know, I am a storm chaser. I chase extreme weather anytime, anywhere, and any chance I get. I have a passion to witness and document the most incredible, awe-inspiring forces on the planet. I have recently teamed up with several people who have a desire to chase as well. Two of my chase team members are actually going to school currently for a degree in meteorology (Kristian Kampendahl, Grant McKercher).  A...

Rich has asked me to write up a short summary of the storms after the 1804 hurricane before 1813 that affected Georgia. Sept 11-12, 1810 A strong tropical storm/minimal hurricane made landfall in the lower South Carolina coast during the night. Landfall was south of Charleston, and north of Savannah, but the severity of the winds was greater in Savannah. Since Savannah was on the left side of the storm, landfall was undoubtedly closer to Savannah than Charleston. The British schooners Uni...

Henry Laurens, South Carolina plantation owner to his new overseer, John Loveday, June 21, 1777: Around the middle of August begin got be much upon your Guard about tempestuous Weather.

Major hurricanes have avoided Georgia for a long time. None have made landfall since October 2, 1898, beyond all living memory. A belief has grown among many of the natives that major hurricanes will always be steered away from the coast here--either by God, the course of the Gulf Stream, or the indentation of the coastline here. A review of recent near misses has lent credence to this belief. In 1989, hurricane Hugo was forecast by several models, and briefly on the official track to make landf...
