I used to do this years and years ago. used to stay on 55 from texas to chicago every single day for 2 seasons.
Whats your truck look like?
I used a SBC powered GMC safari gutted for mine.
Nice pics, every time we get a storm here( usually on my way to work with spectacular sky covereing lightning I never can get the camera ready fast enough.

I used the GP for a long time then when it went down due to the differential I picked up an Isuzu Rodeo. Once I get the GP back on the road, I'll outfit it a bit better for chasing storms.
I had a laptop stand in the GP so I could use my weather/radar software to keep track of everything including the warnings, watches and lighting. I'll eventually build a laptop stand for the Rodeo and set it up so I can have a scanner and maybe a portable TV and other stuff like that.
Id ultimately like to get the WxWorx package from XM Satellite as it is a pretty darn comprehensive package and offers a lot of great information for keeping tabs on storms.

Also, I just got last year was the bushnell ONIX 400, it uses your XM subscription to get weather to the second. Got caught in a wild one last fall on a hog hunt in michigan, horizon darkened up, pulled it out and had realtime doppler on the handheld.
My safari had the driver side rear cargo area all electronics, from 2-ways to the cb to scanners to computers and tv's that ran off one of them old boomerang antennas on the top.
I miss it, alot but kids and wife and being a manager kinda prohibits my time from fun anymore.
How far from ENID are you?
04-21-2009
Oh gosh, I bet Im 150 miles or so from Enid, thereabouts.
04-21-2009
If I recall right the name is Carter, most of my moms side lives there, born and raised kinda thing. I get thru there every now and then on my way to weslaco texas.

Lightnings are turds, power to weight is ubsurd, takes some $$$ to get them heffers moving out good.
Thats cool, from waht I understand enid is a hot spot during the storm season.
04-21-2009
It can be as many of the storm form out in that western area. Then OKC is a good place to shoot as well just off the turnpike where that broadcast tower farm is, though Ive never gotten any shots from there.
04-21-2009
Well Syn bring your storm chasing butt down here!!! believe me!!! we have em'!!!!
04-21-2009
