MatthewsWeatherStudio.com

MatthewsWeatherStudio.com is up and running! This site will have Severe Weather Even Updates, Recent and past Chase Blogs/Photos/Vids, Access to Live Streaming on ChaserTV.com, and more to come. There is still a lot more to do, and I'm sure it will be an ongoing process but I am excited to share my chases and experiences with everyone.
 Please share your thoughts pros/cons around the site, this is for the viewer and I am open for any insights that anyone may have.
 I truly special thanks goes out to my Aunt Jaime Lyn who has not only dedicated much of her time to support me and this site, but has also taken additional time to help teach me around the aspects of maintaining this site. Without which I would be completely lost and it would have been struggle to get it going.

Upcoming Events and News For 2010

 It is that time of the year again; time to prepare for the Chase season ahead. This year I have a lot of goals in mind that I want to achieve. The only conflict I have is my current career; its a matter of if I am able to take time off in a very short notice to make it out to chase. I have to plan carefully when looking at the outlooks and make very educated decisions for what I choose to chase and only ask for time that has high probability for Tornadic conditions. I work for a great company; but retail is always difficult to get time off in a short time, but I will work with whatever time I receive off.


Jeep / Equipment Upgrades:
 I have added a few upgrades to the Jeep for this season including a Laptop Mount and New Camcorder Mount. I should have new All Terran Tires come tomorrow and I still have to make a visit to Inspeed.com. (Photos Coming Soon!)
 I have purchased a new HD Sony Camcorder (CX500V); playing around with it thus far it is an amazing camcorder! Great low level lights recording; amazing stability and a variety of options to work with.
 I finally picked up the Wide Angle / Macro Lens I have been wanting and am looking forward to taking some Wide Angle shots this season.

Website:
 I am currently putting together a new website ( Matthewsweatherstudio.com) which I have been spending most of my time on to have that up and running before the season starts.
 I have also partnered up with ChaserTV.com to stream live this season which I am very excited about. All the chasers on ChaserTV.com are a great group, a lot of knowledge amongst these chasers.

Upcoming Events:
 ChaserCon is approaching fast. I will be leaving Feb. 10th and taking the train with a few friends Danny Neal and Adam Lucio to Denver. I have yet to make it out to this event and this year should be a great year! It will be nice to meet everyone I have spoken to over the past year or two over FB/SC.
