Welcome to Stormhunter7.com

        First of all, I would like to welcome you to the NEW web site. This site is currently in beta phase, and soon will be fully operational.Feb 21st, 2008 I have devoted this site to my interest and study in weather. More about me and my background can be found in the about me part of the site. The main focus will be on Northwest Florida weather and or Southeast USA weather, with a big interest in tropical meteorology and severe weather. Some of you may have already seen the panhandle tornado's I have encountered over the years, I hope to have more videos and some intercepts of strong thunderstorms while "storm chasing". I plan to post the pictures and video on the events, so that others can learn from the very unique northwest Florida weather.


Here is the latest rainfall measurements from our live weather station (the one on the left)  from the east end of Panama City Beach, Florida in the last 3 months:

     Sever Thunderstorms/Tornado's? roll across Panama City Beach/Panama City.... and of course I was in the middle of it... some pictures and video are being uploaded... I may have experienced a decaying waterspout that came ashore on the west end... near the pier park area of Panama City Beach... I did get into some small hail on panama city beach that may have last 30 seconds or so. Details to follow on forum/blog.

 Here is one of shots I captured on camera of the hundreds of cloud to ground strikes that poured from these storms.

Below is the best lightning video of them all... was taken as the storm was moving over the east end of Panama City Beach.
