STORM TRACK: March 31, 1982 (Volume 5 Issue 3)

One final comment as we begin Chase 1982. It is worthwhile to remember that not everyone shares our enthusiasm for tornadoes, and we should be considerate of others when we're being interviewed by the media or are out on the road and "talking up" the big vortex -in restaurants, markets, etc. Many people have encountered personal tragedy with these storms, including death, crippling injury and loss of property. We must always be conscious of these people, who may over- hear or read what, we say about such storms. Their views are totally different from ours, and some of them bear scars which we can hardly imagine. --- Dave Hoadley

Next issue will feature Part, IV of John Weaver's continuing series on the History of Thunderstorm Forecasting: The General Circulation (to 1900). Also planned are camera Tips on taking panorama pictures and some selected advice from Henry Lansford's recent article in Kodak's "The 11th Here's How" on photographing storms. Excerpts from several interesting Letters to the Editor will be included, along with Funnel Funnies: Nightmares of the Storm Chaser (from personal experience!).
