Re: Hello H3ers
Great pics... That is a great pic of tornado, I guess you took that one, huh? How close did you actually get? And that tidal wave is scary. Hope to take some good footage this spring when I travel to the panhandle. This will be my first trip out to the field.
Yes, I am going to purchase that same RAM laptop mount so I can set my computer up to synchronize my amateur radio, aquire doppler, post vids & pics to web site in real time etc. Since space is a premium in the H3 and I have two radios, I went with the 3.5" Cobra GPSM 2500. It really works great for its size and the limitations of an internal antenna (which I find as an enhancement). I have enough antennas to mount on the outside, so as long as it aquires the satellites reasonably well (as it seems to), then I am pleased.
The DeLorme system seems very capable and they have a lot of options. I may look to that in the future if I should find I need it. Right now, the Cobra serves my purpose.
Appreciate the posts...

Did you lose your sailboat? I'm a little less than 150 miles from where that picture was likely taken |

Re: Hello H3ers
Its a waterspout when over water. I was running from it but it caught me. Serious heeling. I went below when it blasted by too damn close! That was at the start of the Gulfport to Pensacola race several years ago. I took it from my boat. The poor guy in the picture had removed his outboard for the race, reinstalled it but got excited and did not screw it down, lost it when it started and was a sitting duck. They were scared but ok.
The day before Katrina I pulled my Watkins 27 sailboat out on a trailer and put it on a lot inland. Good thing. Here is Ocean Springs marina before.

Re: Hello H3ers
OK I see the water now. Thought it looked like a dusty plain until I took a better look. That marina was trashed. Sounds like you were pretty lucky.

Re: Hello H3ers
That is Mississippi mud! This is where some of them ended up. Others were two blocks up the street. Wish I had a Hummer then to get around and a winch for recovery. Storm chasing can get turned around on you real quick!!
Luck did not have much to do with it, preparation and towing my trailer down "before" the storm and having a plan did. Always have several plans of escape and then luck might kick in when all else fails.

Thanks, Hunner. I will remember and take that advice for sure.
