Fort Recovery to New Knoxville, OH Tornadic Storm - 5/7/2024 Facing The Wind 2024-05-10 | Here's the usable footage I took during our chase on May 7. We waited in Wabash and Grant counties in Indiana for supercells to fire and eventually settled on one south of Marion. We followed it all the way from Fairmount, IN to near St. Johns, OH. This storm stayed only marginally severe throughout Indiana, but quickly became tornadic upon crossing into Ohio. It went to produce two EF2 tornadoes, one that tracked between Fort Recovery and Coldwater, and another that tracked between Montezuma and New Knoxville. Both are documented in this video. 0:00 View of storm near Fairmount, IN0:06 Beautiful structure east of Indiana-Ohio state line0:15 Large tornado north of Fort Recovery, OH1:01 Sirens sound in Coldwater, OH1:14 Tornado west of New Knoxville, OH2:09 Sirens sound in New Knoxville, OH
New Bremen, OH Tornado Warning with Sirens - 5/7/2024 Facing The Wind 2024-05-10 | While chasing on Tuesday, Mike, Christian, and I passed through New Bremen during an active tornado warning. The storm that prompted the warning had just produced an EF2 near Coldwater and was about to produce another EF2 near New Knoxville. The 2001 in the center of town did not seem to be working but you can hear several other 2001s as we drive through.
Bowling Green, KY 2001-SRN Siren Test - 4/5/2024 Facing The Wind 2024-04-06 | Another distant 2001 test for the books. There will be more coming. This 2001 is located on a tower next to the GM Bowling Green Assembly plant just across the street from the Corvette Museum and unfortunately lacks the "C.O.W.S." spots that are painted on some of the other 2001s in the county. Sirens in Warren County test on first Fridays at noon, central.
Coldwater, OH Tornado Siren Ambience - 3/20/2024 Facing The Wind 2024-03-21 | Oversaturated? Perhaps. Didn't stop for pictures so I included video of me driving through town to simulate what it might look and sound like during an actual warning. Oh wait, the sky's blue...FS 2001-SRNB: 0.25 milesFS 2001-SRNB: 0.50 milesFS 2001-SRNB: 0.58 miles
Celina, OH 2001-SRN Distant Siren Test - Ohio Statewide Tornado Drill 2024 Facing The Wind 2024-03-20 | Decided to go up to unrecorded Mercer County for this year's Ohio drill. I set up at the boat launch at West Bank Park, a little over 0.6 miles away from this 2001 located at Schunk and S Sugar St. The video makes the siren look a lot lower than it actually is, the rim of the lake sits about 15 ft higher than the surrounding ground, where the 2001 sits. Winds were ripping out of the west for this test so the ambience sort of has the "real tornado warning" quality to it. You might be able to pick out another 2001 or two, of which Celina has at least 6. Sirens in Mercer County normally test on the first Saturday of each month at noon.
Selvin, IN Sentry 10V Siren Test - 3/9/2024 Facing The Wind 2024-03-10 | This 10V is located in the far NE corner of Warrick County in the small unincorporated community of Selvin. To my surprise, Warrick County tested right on the dot at 1:00 without me having to call first. Was glad to get at least something out of today, as I had back-to-back no-gos in Crawford and Perry counties before this. Sirens in Warrick County are tested every Saturday at 1pm central.
Auburn Hills, MI 2001-DC Siren Test - 3/2/2024 Facing The Wind 2024-03-04 | The 3 of us decided on this roof-mounted 2001 for the 1pm test. It is located on top of Varner Hall on the campus of Oakland University and is just a couple hundred feet from the township line separating Auburn Hills from Rochester Hills. FSK dropped pretty much right on the dot, and we were surprised to see it do 4RPM. For my first successful Michigan test, I was rather satisfied. Before this, we went to Clinton Twp thinking they tested at noon instead of 1. Oops. Oakland County tests its gargantuan system of almost 300 sirens on the first Saturday at 1pm March-November and for the statewide tornado drill, which will occur later this month on the 20th.
Perrysburg, OH RSH-10 Siren Test - 3/2/2024 Facing The Wind 2024-03-04 | Christian and I were staying the night at Hunter's so the 3 of us decided to start the first Saturday off right with some morning Wood. We went to this Thunderbeam on US-20 right off of I-75 in Perrysburg. Of all the 'beams I've heard up to this point, this one seemed to have the most noticeable difference in volume when the deflector pointed at you.
Munfordville, KY 3T22 Siren Test - Attack - 2/16/2024 Facing The Wind 2024-02-17 | Saw on FB that Hart County would be testing at 8am today. There doesn't seem to be a regular test day here, rather test times are just sort of announced on the EMA page every now and then. From Bowling Green, this was only a 45 minute drive so I figured why not. This 3T22 is located on the county courthouse in the center of Munfordville and is the only siren in town. The solenoids were on the exact opposite side of the siren from where I was facing but they are there. dat branch shot tho
Franklin, TN FS 2001-SRNB Siren Test - 2/3/2024 Facing The Wind 2024-02-04 | Scooted down here with Mike after the 508. This also wasn't our original plan, but an incorrectly placed pin on the siren map led us to drive around looking for a siren that didn't actually exist. By the time we figured this out, it was already 12:50 and this was the closest option. Typical Williamson County 1pm test, this particular 2001 is at Centennial High School. From where we were standing, this was rather punchy.
Nashville, TN FS 508 Siren Test - 2/3/2024 Facing The Wind 2024-02-04 | Mike and I went to this 508 on the south side of the massive Warner Park complex for the first Saturday this month. We were originally going to record the other 508 on the north side, but there was literally nowhere to park. The place was so crowded, there were cops writing up tickets for cars parked on the grass on the side of the road outside of the park. We saw this and noped out real quick, lol. This thing produced some epic echoes during the test cycle despite being disappointingly quiet from a distance. This siren directly replaced the ATI seen in Charlie Davidson's old 2009 video: youtube.com/watch?v=K2dQTiZo7Zo&t=257s

Vueling A321-200NX Flight from Milan to Paris Facing The Wind 2024-01-05 | My first intra-Europe flight since 2010.

American Airlines 787-8 Flight from Philadelphia to Zurich Facing The Wind 2024-01-04 | Not my proudest video but I still figured I'd upload it, being my first TATL flight since 2015. During the takeoff roll you can sort of notice the absurdly long queue of planes waiting to depart. For some reason runway 9R appeared to shut down to arriving traffic right before we took off, meaning all departures and *most* arrivals were sharing 9L during the early evening bank.

Contour Airlines CRJ-200 Flight from Chicago to Owensboro Facing The Wind 2023-12-13 | Here's my return flight on Contour. Both flights were on time and the experience of flying out of and into OWB was super quick and easy. I am quite impressed with Contour and I hope to see EAS routes like this one last well into the future. Maybe, just maybe, more cities can receive subsidized routes like this as time goes on... looking at you, Bowling Green.Interestingly enough, it seems that at this time Contour runs the ERJ for the mid-day OWB turn while the CRJ is used for the evening/early morning turn.

Contour Airlines ERJ-135 Flight from Owensboro to Chicago Facing The Wind 2023-12-12 | Multiple firsts for me. First flight on the smaller 135 variant of the ERJ-145 family, first flight with Contour, and first flight out of Owensboro. I was traveling to Chicagoland for the weekend from Bowling Green, so this seemed like the perfect opportunity to try out this interesting EAS route.

Clarksville, TN Tornado and Storm Chase BTS - 12/9/2023 Facing The Wind 2023-12-12 | Here's some of the footage I took during our storm chase on December 9 in which we intercepted the Clarksville, TN EF-3 and followed the parent supercell all the way to its dissipation near Glasgow, KY. Not my best video by any means but I still want to share what this storm was like from our perspective. At 8:32 we pass through Bowling Green, KY shortly before the storm would put down an EF-1 on the south side of town.

Owensboro, KY Whelen Vortex R4 Siren Test - 12/1/2023 Facing The Wind 2023-12-05 | First siren upload in quite a while. I have absolutely no idea why the wind noise is so bad, I don't even remember there being wind while I was filming this. This siren sits west of town on Old Lyddane Bridge Rd near a substation. Typical short Daviess County test with a bunch of other Whelens heard after this one winds down.

Weak Tornadoes near Cincinnati Metro and Storm Chase - 8/14/2023 Facing The Wind 2023-08-17 | On this pseudo-cold-core setup day, I followed a fairly small and shallow supercell from just north of Brookville, Indiana all the way to Warren County, Ohio where it became absorbed into the trailing line on the cold front. Throughout its life, this storm exhibited some pretty beautiful structure and produced two EF-0 tornadoes, one near Brookville and one near Trenton, Ohio.0:00 Getting into position with storm off in distance0:53 Shots and timelapse of approaching storm base with rapid motion2:14 View of rotating wall cloud just before or during tornadogenesis4:31 Distant shot of scraggly tornado underneath scuddy wall cloud4:43 Chasing storm east into Ohio with evolving structure5:46 Bowl-shaped tornado over LeSourdsville6:34 Colorful sunset heading into Cincinnatiweather.gov/iln/20230814
Northern Ohio Supercell and EF2 Tornado - 6/15/2023 Facing The Wind 2023-06-25 | Mini-outbreak of tornadoes, hail, and wind on Thursday, June 15, 2023. One cell in particular, greatly intensified by the lake boundary, was responsible for most of the destruction and turned an otherwise *marginal* day into a pretty remarkable event. I intercepted the cell between Port Clinton and Oak Harbor in Ottawa County.0:00 Shots of distant lightning as storm approaches Port Clinton1:08 More lightning and green-tinted hail core1:25 Sirens sound as tornadic circulation approaches2:05 Close-range lightning strikes2:45 Timelapse of Oak Harbor EF2 tornado3:34 Oak Harbor wall cloud after tornado lifts4:34 High winds and heavy rain on rear flank of storm4:46 Backside of storm5:02 Small hail from secondary cell5:27 Massive traffic jam on I-80/90 WB due to tornado/wind damagespc.noaa.gov/exper/archive/event.php?date=20230615
HUGE Tornado-Warned Supercell in Central Illinois - 4/4/2023 Facing The Wind 2023-04-10 | Just four days after the March 31 outbreak, another potent setup presented itself across much of the Mid-south and Midwest. Over Illinois, a strong capping inversion kept storms at bay for most of the day, although a gigantic, long-lived supercell did manage to fire and track across the west-central part of the state around sunset. This storm ended up producing gorilla hail and several tornadoes, including the EF3 near Lewistown. And as you can tell in the video, it was an absolute lightning machine as well...0:00 Shots of frequent lightning underneath anvil near Brimfield, IL1:28 Timelapse of approaching cell2:05 Repositioning east as storm moves towards Peoria metro3:30 Looking west at sculpted base near South Pekin, IL5:13 Multiple close-range lightning strikes as sirens blare5:39 Timelapse of base moving overheadweather.gov/ilx/april42023_severe

Greentown, IN Tornado Siren Ambience - 10/7/2022 Facing The Wind 2023-03-07 | Pretty garbage video but I'm gonna be a view hog and upload it anyways. The audio is not from the camera that shot this video, but rather my audio recorder that I set 0.75 miles away at a church. Only the water tower 1000T and downtown Darley are heard as this T-bolt by the high school never sounded.

April 8, 2020 Severe Weather Event (with sirens, EAS, and LOTS of lightning!) Facing The Wind 2023-02-25 | spc.noaa.gov/exper/archive/event.php?date=20200408This was one of the more memorable severe weather events in recent years to hit the area as well as one of the most vivid days in my memory. Dad and I had ridden our bikes up to Xenia earlier in the day and despite being early April, it felt more like early June with temperatures hitting 80 by the mid-afternoon. Having been out biking all day, I hadn't paid much attention to the weather. A few hours after arriving home, I was relaxing in my room, windows open, fans on, eating some mint and chip ice cream when I began to notice lightning outside becoming increasingly frequent. The cold front and associated line of storms were still pretty far west into Indiana by this point. However, given the extremely unstable environment out ahead of this front, discrete storms had begun to explode just across the river from me in Ohio. These storms quickly became prolific hail producers and went severe warned, prompting me to start recording. Things only got crazier as the trailing QLCS started to spin up several weak tornadoes as it moved across the area. 0:00 Numerous Severe Thunderstorm Warnings issued as prefrontal storms rapidly intensify3:16 First Tornado Warning issued for far SW side of metro; squall line begins showing signs of rotation5:55 I go under a Severe Thunderstorm Warning6:37 Tornado Warning issued for Hamilton and Clermont counties7:35 Hamilton County sirens go off9:06 I go under a Tornado Warning9:35 Possible siren malfunction #110:38 Kenton?
