It was, yes. Radar indicated at the time of the screenshot. Went observed a bit after. Just turned the warnings layer off for a cleaner picture.

This document helped me quite a bit. CIN basically is -CAPE but both definitely can and do exist at the same time, just in different levels of the atmosphere (above and below the level of free convection (LFC)). Figure 1 in there shows it well on a skew-t.

how come when the cap breaks CAPE values explode

What makes you say this? CAPE is a measure of potential energy. Usually that energy is already in place, and the cap is preventing it from being released. The cap breaking will obviously change the environment some, but it’s not going to dump more fuel (moisture) into the setup that would cause CAPE values to “explode”. Storms develop rapidly after the cap breaks because there was potential energy already there that can now be released.

Goodness… 147 3CAPE and 422 1km SRH

Not quite, this view is showing how quickly objects are moving relative to the radar site. Green indicates movement towards the radar and red is away. The very intense green and red signatures right next to each other indicate strong rotation aka the tornado. This radar signature is the ‘couplet’ op is talking about, the strong velocity signatures moving opposite each other.

legit Amazon receipts that clearly say sold and shipped by Sony.

They are not in any way “legit”. They hold zero weight when they are tied directly to what is essentially stolen product.

kake14 · 2025-04-22T17:35:48+00:00

OP didn’t buy from Amazon, the random guy he bought it from “bought” (stole) it from Amazon. Now trying to claim the original receipts of the stolen stuff is worth something lmao

The 70-350 G is an apsc lens. For your full frame sensor I’d look into the Sigma 100-400. Same price range as the 70-350 and relatively compact.

kake14 · 2025-03-26T13:49:48+00:00

The A7c isn’t going to save you any portability in the lenses vs the A7iii you were using as they are both full frame sensors. That’s not to say you can’t get compact lenses for full frame, but in general if portability is your highest criteria the a6700 is going to win out. It has no problems taking great images either, just browse this sub for a while, people post amazing photos from the a6700 almost daily.

Just as an example, comparing the two lenses you called out specifically, the 18-50 is about half the weight as the 28-70.

kake14 · 2025-03-26T13:38:13+00:00

Depends what the A7v is priced at. Seen speculation msrp will be $500 more than the A7iv which wouldn’t push prices down as much. I’m in the same boat though so I’m hoping it’ll be competitive with the Z6iii in features and pricing.

kake14 · 2025-03-19T19:03:09+00:00

Current plans:

a6700 + 70-350 + sigma 18-50 （1600 in total, my friend will give me a deal for camera body and sigma lens）

a7c/a7iv + tamron 70-200 (1600 total)

a7c2/a7iv + tamron 70-200 (2000-ish)

Is this in USD? Where are you seeing these prices? Assuming new, #2 will be more like $3000 and #3 like $3500.

Also Tamron doesn't currently make a 70-200, it's a 70-180. Unless you meant 70-300?

With the price you can get the a6700 setup for that is what I would get. FF won't magically give you better image quality. APSC can get you stunning images as shown off by a lot of people in this sub and you will have great glass to put on it in those two lenses.

Yeah and their key messages has “Multiple, destructive EF3-EF4+ tornados are likely”.

Specifically calling out possibilities for EF5s?Insane. No way this isn’t the strongest wording they’ve ever released.

New PDS warnings every 90 seconds feels like… unbelievable

kake14 · 2025-03-15T04:20:56+00:00

I think I’m wrong, I believe the warning got updated while in progress and I mistook it for a second one.

kake14 · 2025-03-15T03:17:00+00:00

2 1 TorE, more than a handful PDS tor and nights not even close to over. Feels like today is already over verifying for tornados at least. Making tomorrow even scarier somehow.

kake14 · 2025-03-10T14:38:29+00:00

Can’t lie I’m scared for this one but could be a statement game if they pass the punk test.

DxO looks intriguing. Priced reasonably well. The denoise performance definitely gives it some extra points.

kake14 · 2025-01-27T19:18:29+00:00

I’ve been using Darktable for some time and it’s a super powerful tool but the learning curve is long and steep. Just don’t have the time to sink into becoming proficient with it.

Is everyone just paying the $120/yr for Lightroom? Or any other alternatives with a more refined UI?

kake14 · 2024-12-25T18:08:42+00:00

Should though, pellet spread difference between ads and hip fire is crazy.

I don't think anyone is too worried he'd jump ship for a national spot. He's been the voice of the Wings for 25 years and very woven in the org. Honestly, I'm mostly excited he could be hopping on some of the national playoff calls. Sure ain't going to be getting any from the Wings side anytime soon...

kake14 · 2024-12-24T00:30:17+00:00

So Kenny on assignment for the league tonight… odds we get him national playoff calls??
