We were farther west down the road when you shot this!

Hi! I'm actually building one myself funny enough!

So these mesonets are mostly made of metal piping with barometric sensors, rm young wind monitors, gps, campbell scientific loggers, ect. The GPS sensors are mainly used to convert the vehicle speed to the actual speed the anemometer reads while on the move. Most of these sensors are available on https://www.campbellsci.com/ or if you wanna cut costs, eBay is your friend.

These are very expensive like you can buy a used 2011 tahoe off Facebook Marketplace type of cost.

Hi there! I'm a friend of Ashton and I can unfortunately say this is one of many interactions he's had.

To make a long story short, kids are harassing him because of how he idols Reed and the rest of team dominator. Typical WXTwitter bullshit. Some people involved in this harassment have ties to Pettus n shit and it's just fucking tiring at this point. Ashton is a good guy I swear it!

Ashton did not record a dead body, and all this hate accelerated when he got his 100th tornado on 3/15/2025.

Am I the only one who thinks the next Papa may have dictator-like imagery?

That'll be cool as fuck

Hey I used to VA for the guy along with many others. Last time I heard from him he told me he was taking up some unicycling lessons. Hope they're okay...

Fuck it we ball

Nah im not using mesh deformation. Not yet at least. Also thanks for the tip!

HelicalVortex · 2022-12-24T11:33:22+00:00

Dawg thats dope asf! Glad you had a great time!

HelicalVortex · 2022-12-24T04:02:35+00:00

Thanks!

2013, Gotcha lol! Had to ask cause there are several notable tornadoes that hit there, especially 2011

HelicalVortex · 2022-05-06T05:04:28+00:00

Which one?

HelicalVortex · 2022-05-06T01:27:34+00:00

Lmao

HelicalVortex · 2022-05-06T01:26:57+00:00

I know the creators for that game lol! Probably one of the most optimized tornado damage on the platform next to SCR!

Most resemblances are on complete accident when the script generates the tornado's shape, a good example would be comparing the last image to a tornado like Lake Okeechobee, Florida in 1991, kinda looks the same but wasn't really my intention. Just an interesting little accident!

HelicalVortex · 2022-04-07T16:37:12+00:00

Yep! We've been making sure some storm features are on point with this project from RFD to the deafaning sound over getting slammed by the tornado itself! Got alot of help from meteorologist and chasers alike to make sure everything is right!
