Haven't stopped by in awhile? Shame on you! Luckily I understand life can get in the way. Here you will be able to see what you have missed. This will hopefully save the trouble of browsing around too long as well as offer an amusing insight to thoughts and ideas I never followed up on. It will also serve as a "time line" of the evolution of this site.
06-22-10:Chase
logs are all complete! Go
take a look, there is much to see! Chase season is winding down, but
there
is still allot happening including one last major severe weather
day
tomorrow. Once chase season slows down I will have lots of other
content
to update!
06-20-10:Chase log from
6-10-10 is
up.
Beautiful supercell and 2 tornadoes in Colorado!!
06-19-10:Chase
log from Thursdays deadly tornado outbreak has been posted. Incredible
pictures
and video! This one took priority over the other logs and I
will be
working to get those up ASAP as long as more chasing doesn't
come
first [not that I would complain!]
06-18-10: I
have a whopping 7 chase logs to catch up on, including an INSANE day in
Minnesota on June 17th that included long track, violent wedge
tornadoes. To see what is coming check the 2010 logs page. More chasing
looks probable in the near future too! I need a break!
06-15-10: I have 5 chase
logs to write from June 8th, 10th, 11th, 12th and 13th! There will be
some good content in each of them so watch for them soon! Its been one
crazy year!
06-06-10: Chase log from
Saturdays
insane
chase across Illinois is up! Tornadoes near Peoria, and damage in
Dwight. Check it out. Also, the site editor has switched to a new
"updated"
version which I absolutely hate. If things look a little funky around
here
its because I am ripping my hair out trying to make it work the way
I want it and I apologize for any inconvenience.
06-02-10: Took a day and
played
some major catch up. All chase logs from 5-21, 5-24 and 6-1 are
now
posted along with some new images at the bottom. There is still much
more content to come from this insanely active year, but things must
slow
down first!
[Somehow a huge section of update archives in between 5-8-10 and 6-2-10 was LOST! Ugh.]
05-08-10: Chase log from
5-7
will be posted later today. Some wicked core punch video will be
featured!!
05-05-10: Created new contact form!
Contacting
me is now easier than ever so don't be shy! Moved the chaser
links
page
under the Education/Resources tab, also moved the Update
Archive
under the About tab. It makes the homepage a little less
cluttered.
Other
than that I have been gearing up for some active
chasing!
05-02-10:Chase log from
4-30
is up. Strong storms rip a roof off a building. Also, the forum has
bit the dust.The amount of spam requests I get were ridiculous and the
admin
login would not except my password. Have lots of photos to update,
radar
images to add and some other content. It looks like things may
slow
down now so I may be able to get some of that other content up.
05-01-10:Chase log from
4-29 is up!
Another
tornado for the year! Chase log for 4-30 coming soon. My
attention
is now on the potential outbreak down south, which
unfortunately I am
not there for.
04-26-10:Chase logs are
complete.
Go read about the tornado fest in Texas!!! Also new blog will
be
posted. 2010 has finally
woken up!
04-25-10: Chase logs from 4/21, 4/22
and
4/23 are in the making! Stay tuned, lots of great pics and
videos
including
a new record number of tornadoes seen in one day for me!!
04-13-10: Nothing too
exciting
to report. Added some new radar images and am working on
gathering
some
material to do a write up for the large hail event in
Chicago on
4-5. If you or anyone you know has pictures or video and
would
like
them
featured please contact me. Other than that things
across
the
whole
country are very slow and boring...2010 = FAIL.
04-08-10: Chase logs from
4-5 and 4-6
are
posted. Check them out! The Chicago area was affected by an
intense
elevated
supercell on the evening of April 5th, I will try and do a
write
up
including some radar images in the coming days, but things
have
finally
been busy around here again! I also need a
new local weather
snapshot
because the one I have looks
gross, if you have one you would
like
to
share let me know
and Ill post it!
04-07-10:Chase log from
4-4-10
posted! This one has some great footage!

04-06-10:I
have just returned from 3 days of chasing. New chase logs coming soon!
One
will feature some pretty intense wind footage and the other will
have
all sorts of goodies from good structure to hail to damage. Stay
tuned!
03-28-10: Can things get
any
slower around here! UGH! The good news is mother nature might
finally
wake up once April rolls around. New blog posted with more
details.
Might
get rid of the forum, not because it is a ghost town, but
I'm
getting
too many spam requests and I don't have the time or
motivation
to deal with it.
03-12-10:
First chase log of the 2010 season
is
up! Check it out!
03-09-10: Rearranged
bulletin boxes in order of greater priority during chase season. Also
begun
using new established color table to highlight upcoming chase
plans,
for more info on that see the tab in the 'About' section. Updated
media
licensing info.
03-07-10: Added a new
section under
the
"About"
tab
titled "As seen on:"
This just lists some of the
networks
some of my
material has been
shown on over the years.
I've
recently
signed a
contract with Dryline
Media to be a video
stringer,
so there may be some
minor changes to
the Media
Licensing
Info
once that all gets ironed
out. The weather
has been
slow
and
boring, not just here but everywhere.
2010 is
certainly
not
off to the start I was hoping for.
03-04-10:HAPPY
ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY TO
AEROSTORMS.COM! While major updates have
been
a bit slow I just wanted
to thank those who have visited over
the
first year. The site went
through quite a bit of change since
then.
That will not stop. 2010 has
been a pretty boring year weather
wise.
If you know someone in your life
that has any interest in the
weather,
please spread the word! This
sites success depends on the
amount
of
visitors it gets. That means YOU!
Thanks again - Adam.
02-25-10:New
Radar
Image and new blog. Keep in mind I don't always announce when a
new
blog
or new Image is added, so it never hurts to check for those. I
Merged
the Write-ups section with Education. Also divided up the links
and
Advice
section. This should separate the content better and
hopefully
give each section more visibility. I also did it to reduce the
number
of navigation buttons on the side bar as it began to look
cluttered.
I may also merge the chaser links section with it as well,
but held
off
for now. March is 3 days away!!
02-18-10:MAJOR
UPDATE!!! I have added a discussion
forum to the site! It will
centralize
on Chicago's Weather, but will
cover everything. So take a
peak
and don't be afraid to start up some
discussions. I decided to
experiment
with the idea and we will see how
it turns out. Obviously
it will
take some time to get going, so don't be
turned off by a low
member count. At the very least, you can talk to
me! Ive never ran a
forum before though, so if certain things wont work
its up to you to
let me know.
02-16-10: I
have returned from Chasercon! What a trip that was, blog has been
posted. Photos are on facebook. Also, big news in the launch of
ConvectiveAddiction.com! I have been hard at work on this site with
other IL chasers, so check it out by clicking the button above! Added a
new tornado photo as well. I have allot of post-Chasercon stuff to take
care of and things around here are busy.
02-08-10:
Tornado photo album added! Changed
photo and
video pages to fit within header borders, this should make
things easier
to view. I will be traveling to Denver this week for
Chasercon 2010!
Site updates will halt during the trip. I may post a
blog or two for
documenting purposes. Chase season is getting closer!
02-04-10:Major
updates have been
slow, Ive been cleaning up typos and fixing other
minor imperfections I
have found within the site. I am also gearing
up for the trip to Denver
for Chasercon 2010! I look forward to the
trip. Also, long range models
are keeping us locked in a very cold
pattern so there is nothing for me
to look forward to weather wise.
Dear march, please hurry!
01-25-10: New
homepage layout
unveiled! Like it? Hate it? Let me know! Also added a
stats and fun fact
section which can be found under the 'About'
section. New blog written.
01-21-10:Multiple
radar images from
Wednesday's tornadic thunderstorms across LA and TX
posted in radar
images section.
01-20-10: Radar
Image from Tuesdays tornadic thunderstorms in
California posted
below.
01-15-10: Lightning
photo album is now available! A page dedicated to my former chase
vehicle has finally been made. A new blog has been written as well, the
GFS model has been showing some interesting things for the remainder of
the month that has the community in an early chasing buzz. El nino may
start revving up the 2010 severe weather season very soon!
01-12-10: Changed
up the local events tab once again. Added sub menus to separate
thunderstorm logs and more detailed event logs. Had to change the word
'events' to 'logs' due to character limit on the buttons [space is
needed for the arrow.] Lightning photo album is finished and will be
made available on the next update in the coming days. I will also be
changing the album thumbnails to a set size that will better fit the
page.
01-09-10: Social
networking tabs have been added! Just click to find my site related
profiles. Only network profiles that are oriented towards this site are
shown. Personal profiles are not linked. More may be added in the
future.
01-08-10: Snow
chase log now up. Check out the new Misc chase logs section! Also added
a new local event for 6-24-09 and renamed the tab to "Chicago Weather
events." I added a store tab although I doubt there will be anything
for sale in there anytime soon. I wanted to get an idea for how the
menu bar would look. Some other updates will be in the near future
including social networking buttons on top. Lightning photo album also
coming soon! I told ya, there is always work being done around here!
01-03-10: Video
page has been updated with video from the lake effect snow chase. Site
update archive is now available! Thinking about renaming the chase logs
tab to "Storm chase logs" and adding a "Misc Chase Logs" tab to cover
things such as blizzard, hurricanes, whatever else. Thoughts?
01-02-10: HAPPY
2010! As many may have seen I went on a last minute Lake Effect snow
chase which took me into MI. I'm not sure how I'm going to document it
just yet, but look for it in the coming days. It was a new experience
thats for sure! The only real updates I've done were to add some photos
to the winter album and I wrote a blog about whats ahead for me in
2010. With the holidays now behind I can get back to focusing on
regular updates again.
12-20-09: Added
4 new photo albums! One in every category. Also added a page with a
little more detailed info on this site. I am also thinking about adding
a site archives button to the menu bar. That means all these updates
would be moved there after a couple weeks or so, that way the newest
information is always displayed here, but for those who have not
visited in awhile they will have an easy way to see whats been going
on. Thoughts? Let me know!
12-16-09: ALL OF THE OLD CHASE LOGS FROM 2004 through 2006 ARE COMPLETE!
12-14-09: I
FINALLY changed the header of the site. The old one was terrible and if
you're visiting here for the first time be glad you never had to see
it. I like the new one allot. I began cleaning up the 2008 chase logs.
I also wrote a blog to document how the recent blizzard affected my
city. There will be lots of updates coming soon!
12-07-09: There
is allot going on lately! Wrote a new blog with some important news
regarding next chase season!Finally got a photo album up in the photos
section! In honor of winters arrival I have put together an album of
past winter photos I have taken. Ive gotten a decent feel on how to
quickly put the albums together so many more will be coming at a
quicker pace! Thank You for your patience. I have thousands of photos
to share.
This
brings me to another idea, lately I haven't been too satisfied with the
way this homepage flows with information. I have a few ideas to change
things around so don't be alarmed if the orientation changes a bit in
the coming weeks. I would like to add a weather bulletin headline near
the top that would mention things like upcoming chases or incoming
weather systems. The site updates would then be archived a bit lower.
If there is anything you would like to see here let me know! This is
site is meant to serve you...not me.
INTERVIEW! On Tuesday, July 28th 2009 I did a live interview with the Center of Circulation, you may check out the podcast by clicking here.
For those who don't know, the Center of Circulation is a live radio
show covering all sorts of weather related topics. I urge you to check
it out at www.ipr365.com
Some of the discussions are very interesting.
