About this user
.....................I'm an outdoor person. I love to go on road .....................trips, specifically out of town, to enjoy .....................other cities, parks, and locations I've never .....................been to to see what they have in store for .....................me to enjoy. When the ocean is fog-free, I .....................would go to the beach to breathe the fresh .....................sea breeze and watch the sun set over the .....................Pacific Ocean. It's a nice way to get refreshed .....................and a good stress reducer.
.....................I'm also a Californian storm chaser! .....................Unluckily, our area doesn't get much storms .....................as the Midwest does. During the summer, .....................just plain ol' sun and heat, nothing special. .....................With a little bit of luck, a thunderstorm or two .....................may drift into our area when the summer .....................monsoonal rains arrive annually in the .....................Southwest. But whenever the Bay Area does get pounded with storms, (even just a windstorm), my adrenaline gets pumped up and it's storm chasing time! The farthest that I've driven while storm chasing was about .....................an hour or so, away from home. When I get .....................more experienced, and if I have the money, I'd start going all out and chase long distances, whether it's to the Sierras or even out eastward to Arizona and beyond.
.....................In the not too distant future, I hope to .....................become an official storm chaser, chasing .....................severe weather side by side with my .....................buddies. How did my passion of wanting .....................to be a storm chaser get started? It all .....................started just a few years ago. I love to .....................watch the Storm Chasers on T.V. on the .....................Discovery Channel. Looking at all the .....................severe weather conditions they endured, .....................such as heavy rain, large hail, frequent .....................lightning and tornadoes caught my eye. I .....................now know my real passion: severe .....................weather. Not only the strong storms that I .....................want to see, but I want to travel around the .....................Midwest. I love to travel/go on road trips .....................as well so this is why I feel that being a .....................storm chaser is perfect for me.
.....................During the 'dry' season here in California, .....................typically summer time, not much goes on .....................in terms of weather. Therefore, I take .....................advantage of the nice weather and go enjoy .....................the beautiful scenery and better yet, .....................sunsets especially by the beach!
