STORM TRACK: July 31, 1982 (Volume 5 Issue 5)

Roy Britt asked me to add his name and address to the ST roster. You are reminded that the purpose of the roster is to let other chasers know of those interested in making contact and corresponding. Unless subscribers volunteer information in this fashion, I will respect their privacy and not mention them here. A personal note: I have known Roy for several years now, and he is a good example of what the rest of us like to see in a new chaser. Roy has done his homework before even setting out to chase. He has studied the technical journals extensively, has an excellent personal library, and probably the best documentation on Virginia tornadoes of anyone in the state. The last two years he has taken some excellent tornado slides (among the best I have ever seen). Knowing what to look for and something about the dynamics of storm formation and structure, he brings knowledge and the ability to contribute to a chase team, not just be a passenger and depend on others for guidance.
