Chasing Adventures
The students in the Dept. of Atmospheric Sciences have an outstanding love of adventure, especially when it comes to severe weather. Not to be outdone by their former classmates, the class of 2007-2008 are enjoying some adventures of their own. Since the spring of 2008 has been a turbulent one, current storm chasers Shawn Jacobs, Joanna George, Darren Clabo, Kathleen Carroll, Shawn Honomichl put on some miles after a couple of stormy days May 23-24, 2008. They were joined by alumni John Wetenkamp and Matt Bunkers. Read of their adventures in the following storm chasing summaries:
