Just an idea & rather personal observation. would the vortex 2 program be better served to out source & or subcontract some of its storm chasing out to other chasers whom could be vetted by them to also gather data. today @ about 730a when stef was speaking with one of the crew members/ he said they would not be chasing the storms in eastern ok into northern arkansas due to hills & trees? my ? is if the equiptment is only good for flatland data retreival where does that leave most people in us in this study? living in sw kansas on the dry line i see these storms go east when ever they occur. just a question,,,please no replies from the english dept,,,i really could care less how my use of english or grammar is,,,thankyou
