    I would be quite happy to join - depends what you mean though - stand in the storm and watch it - or try to help others?

    Hi Vanguard,
    Would not just be a good idea to monitor it, picture it, etc, but to make ourselves available as a group who can put themselves on call, if needed especially now that the more serious weather is on its way. Observers who are a reliable group, would i`m sure be looked upon, as a serious help to all in rescue situations of all types.

    I personally would love to capture digital images,for research and achive purposes. Plus it would be an honour to be called upon to help out in a rescue situations. What would be the next step to follow?

    There's also a great website with Weston Storm Chasers, myself included at ukweatherworld dot co dot uk

    The site has thousands of members and photography category along with much more.

    Weston hasn't seen much action on the storm front this year due to lack of heat and no Spanish Plume, however, whenever there is a network of mobile numbers to text for updates would be good. I've pictured the odd funnel cloud across the Bristol Channel and nearly struck by lightning while out chasing across Somerset.

    Setting-up a Group of interested people would be required, not just for Thunderstorms but also Snowfall, Strong Wind/Structural Damage, High Tides and other weather related events.

    Well hi to all who have replied so far, we really could do with more people being asked if they are interested, by word or mouth & keep in touch on here & agree a date & time where we can all meet up for our first chat to organise it all. I must admt, i would like to keep it as a group unique to weston & immediate localities, & indeed we would have to be ready to go out in just about every kind of weather possible . . . . its not just about bad weather either, we can still record unusual or normal things if we are out & about too. So give me your feedback about when is best for you to meet up then we can go on from there. I in the meantime will make enquiries with the local coastguard crews, to see how best we can offer our services if needed. bye for now.
    Chris.
