Day two on Joey and Charlie’s storm chasing adventure was mainly a day of driving. After we finally arrived at our hotel at 3 AM Sunday morning, we slept in as late as possible and headed out just before our checkout time (although not before waking up early to gulp down the esteemed “Continental Breakfast”).

Tornado Chasing Day 1: Blue Skies and Budget Airlines
Hi everybody! This week, I’ll be doing something I (surprisingly) haven’t done before: tornado chasing! I’ll be chasing with Joey Sipos, a computer programmer/game designer (check out his latest VR game, “Glider Island”) and a fellow severe weather geek. Joey’s been chasing once, so I’m counting on him to get us perfectly positioned to […]
Santa’s Christmas Forecast
I’m very busy today preparing for a Christmas-Eve party with my family, but I thought I’d get in a quick Christmas Eve and Christmas Day forecast for the citizens of Western Washington, as well as a quick aviation forecast for tonight so that Santa knows what he’s dealing with as he somehow travels down millions […]
My Big Halibut
For the past week, I have been up with my brother and dad in Tofino, on the West Coast of Vancouver Island. I’ve been spending quality time with them and taking a break from electronics (except weather models and marine observations, of course), and it has been a great trip. We left earlier this afternoon […]

Sunday, December 12, 2015 8:49 pm Greetings from the Halim Perdanakusuma International Airport in Jakarta, Indonesia! We are finished with our stay at the Mirah Hotel in Bogor, and are now headed to Yogyakarta, which is ~260 miles to the ESE of Bogor on the island of Java. Bogor is a suburb of Jakarta. Yesterday, we went […]
In Indonesia!
Friday, December 11, 2015 4:38 pm Hello everybody! There’s been quite a bit of interesting weather lately in Seattle, and I haven’t been posting much. However, it is not because I have suddenly lost my interest for meteorology. That would be impossible. It is because I’ve been getting preparing, packing, traveling, and finally settling in […]

Sunday, July 21, 2013 11:53 A.M. I just finished my last edit of my posts from Hawaii. These are Hawaii Day 3, Hawaii Day 4, and Hawaii Day 6. Technically, I still working on cropping some Youtube videos from my Day 17 Globetrotting Day post, but I’ll let you know when all of those are […]
Hawaii Day 6 (Micronesia Day 23) – Pu’uhonua o Honaunau
Saturday, July 13, 2013 10:54 P.M. It’s weird to think that in less than 24 hours, I will be back at my house. I’ll see my dog, go fishing in the lake and sound, see friends, blast music on my speakers, and play saxophone (albeit I’ll get home after midnight so the last two will […]
Hawaii Day 5 (Micronesia Day 22) – Mahi-notta
Friday, July 12, 2013 11:41 P.M. This is going to be another quickie just to let you know how my day went. It was good. Bye. ___________________________________________________________________ Ok, I’ll give you a little more detail than that. Yesterday was exhausting, and we didn’t waste any time exhausting ourselves today either. We woke up at 5:30 […]
