Hurricane Frances- Ft. Pierce, FL September 4th, 2004

This chase was full of surprises! Actually, there were so many things that happened to us on this chase it would be way too much to type here, lol. Head on over to my website listed below and click on the Storm Chase Blog for 2004. Trust me, the read will be worth it!

1:18 ya, THATS not dangerous at all!

[tornadovideostock]

@floridaroyalpalm lol...yeah, a bit on the dangerous side I will admit

[tornadovideostock]

@HERPTOLOGY44 yes it's certainly been a long time since we've had a strong hurricane up this way, but it will happen again one day...who knows, maybe this will be the year.

[HERPTOLOGY44]

@tornadovideostock i love new england hurricanes, they just dont seem to happen any more, i know of some many, the saxby gale, norfolk, great new england, bob, gloria, donna, carol, edna, great atlantic, and alot more.

@HERPTOLOGY44 Oh yeah, I chase hurricanes too..my first one was Gloria in 1985 (I audio taped that one) then Bob in 1991, etc, etc... I have a bunch of my hurricane videos here on my YouTube channel.

@tornadovideostock do you chase hurricanes or do you buy videos

[tornadovideostock]

@HERPTOLOGY44 Then you can always informally study it and take it from there :) Either way, you have plenty of time to think about it.

[HERPTOLOGY44]

@tornadovideostock i dont know if i want to go in for meterology or herpetology,

[tornadovideostock]

@HERPTOLOGY44 Keep coresponding with the various chasers out there and then down the road, think about maybe going to school for it, if that's what you want to do. I don't have any formal training in meteorology but have been informally studying it for 25 years. Maybe write to the National Hurricane Center and see what they suggest!

@tornadovideostock you have no idea. ive been obsessed with weather ever scense i was in pre school, i would read adult level meterology books then. i used to love tornadoes, but now im a little more fascinated with hurricanes. i have all my files on all the most notable hurricanes, i have so many books its not even funny. i really want to make this into a career, but i dont know where to go! any advice?
