The storm chaser convention was this past weekend and I have never had such a blast at a convention like I did at this one. I believe my six pack is due to the laughing for hours and hours. My good buddy Dann Cianca brought so much energy and life lifting spirits that he made the convention for me.

Another big highlight of mine was listening to Jon Davies do his talks about why some supercells produced tornadoes and why some others didn’t. He mentioned in his talk about the La Grange tornadic event that happened this past summer (6/5/09). Wile he was presenting a slide popped up on the screen and my jaw dropped. Jon had used my photographs from that day and right there in big letters said www.michaelcarlsonphoto.com. I feel so honored that he thought my photos were worthy of showing to most of the chaser community, so I would like to say thank you so much Jon for using my photos. (Highlight of my life)!

Well here are some of the frames I captured wile at the convention. Enjoy
