1998 Summary by Chuck DoswellGilbert's note: The following are reports from chasers who eyewitnessed a severe weather event first-hand. The opinions stated in these documents are their own, and comments should be directed to the author.
Why should chasers turn in a report for this page? Read this response from DeWayne Mitchell:
Personally, we at NSSL who are involved in algorithm work can use these to compliment/supplement other reports for algorithm evaluation...so reliable reports from reliable chasers who are known to keep meticulous (sp?) logs are great resources.
Got it? If you've got a detailed chase report, please send it in to me! And P.S. as others have noted...try to include what roads you took (names/routes) to get to the storm, and to follow it. Thanks! ...Gilbert...
