Yes, please spread the word so we can build it back up. I know a lot of folks were M-A-D that this dissappeared in our re-launch of the web site in November. Patience pays off.

Nice work Steve....looking forward to Tropical Weather Season and some non-threatening long trackers. I suspect we will have some long nights ahead of us come July-Sept....

Awesome, man! Thanks! :D

I kind of wish there was a border around the post that you quote, as the writer's message blends in with the previous message. The only "real" problem I see with is when someone posts a large image, like the model maps, it cuts off half the image, and there is no scroll bar to see the rest of it...

This isn't too big of a deal, though. You can just copy the address into your address bar to see the full image.

Anyway, before I sound like a bickering old man, thanks once again for getting this baby up and runnin'! :)

Soooooooo glad this is back! I am not a Met, just a lurker who suffered severe withdrawals for a few days. Thank you all for what you do! :D

Made it! Hard part was guessing those stupid letters to prove I was human. Failed 10 times then it locked me out. I see made it easier to see the letters now, so I could read them and register. ;-)

Welcome, Gene

It is very neat to see you here! I'm definitely looking foward to your input on this forum. We've needed some more pro mets to step into the game, here :)

It took me three times and a tilt of the screen to see what the heck the code was supposed to be...

I don't think spam bots are dying to traverse a local weather board, but I could be wrong :P

The forum software is an upgraded version and it's running on a different server now. Both reasons made re-registering necessary.

It is a radar image of the 1974 Zenia, Ohio F5 tornado. You can see the hook echo at the bottom. It is amazing how much radars have changed since then.

Oh the Super Outbreak, boy was that day a doozie of a day. For those who do not know or are too young to remember ( I actually do remember watching it on the news).
