2008 Storm Chaser Convention Pictures


Here are pictures takes from the 10th Annual National Storm Chaser Convention held February 15-17, 2008. Despite chasing since 1998, this was my first convention.  There were about 275 attendees at the conference...and I met way too many new faces to list here.  I had a great time and I hope to see many of  you out on the plains this year.  Some notable events for me were being interviewed by my new friends at SevereStudios and by CBS Channel 5 from Cheyenne, Wyoming.  The SevereStudios interview is on the web. This also marked the official retirement of the TIV1, with the TIV2 being built for the new chase season.

  
The mountains are visible the first day of the convention.
