To let anyone know that might be interested, I have been making no predictions of tornadic storms in the Midwestern portions of the nation as I have been back east for a while now. I have no permanent monitoring equipment in place to support my predictions of tornadic storms as I have ascertained no support to provide for such equipment. Therefore, I am not in a location where I could even hope to be of any help in predicting the appearances of tornadoes in other portions of the nation.

Doppler Radar in Error Again?
April 22nd, 2010
As I watched the Philadelphia Fox 29 Ten O'clock News last Friday (April 16th, 2010) during an impending rain storm, I noticed that the Doppler Radar on the weather news showed/stated there was heavy rain in the area where I was located. However, it was barely raining, if raining at all. So I got in the car and drove east to the middle of where the television Doppler definitely was showing heavy rain. Guess what, it was not raining anywhere in sight. So again I wonder, how many times is Doppler Radar in error and how much of our tax dollars was spent in development of this radar technology? Any reason to explore other avenues of weather research? Yes!! Too bad the paradigm-laden weather researchers don't share my opinion.

The Finger of God – A Tornado
March 21st, 2010
A tornado may well be the finger of God. If not in a literal sense, such certainly qualifies in a metaphysical sense, anyhow.
Would He unleash such havoc with absolutely no warning? Or maybe more likely, would He give us a forewarning that was dependent on our knowing where to look to read the warning signs?
Adam Trotter / AVT
PS. Not that I mean to necessarily proselytize here, but I kind’a think any possible tornado warnings may come from Saint Barbara and Saint Diego/Saint Didacus of Alcalá. (From Wikipedia: ‘Blessed Santa Barbara, Your story is writ in the sky,’ from Federico García Lorca's play, La Casa de Bernarda Alba (1936); and Saint Didacus/Diego being known for solitude and healing.) Also, did someone once say something about affection for Saint Michael too?

Deadly Tornadoes in Arkansas, Yesterday, March 10, 2010.
March 12th, 2010 (Early A.M.)
I blog this entry mostly for my own records. Yesterday several tornadoes appeared in the Arkansas and Texas areas. Tragically, one of the tornadoes in Arkansas was fatal for a resident there.
I blog this entry to remind myself to not disregard my Tornado Tamer efforts regardless of the seemingly absurd results such may sometimes display. Early afternoon the day before these tornadoes appeared in the heartland (3/9/10) I went to take a ‘snapshot’ of the variables I measure to look for correlations between these variables and any subsequent appearance of tornadic storms in the rest of the nation. Though I did not understand the meaning of such at the time, nor do I understand it now, my ‘snapshot’ of the monitored variables ascertained with my amateur equipment seemed to display a scenario which I had never previously observed. To begin with, there seemed to be a significant amount of swirling energy in the atmosphere. However, the monitored variables seemed so unusual and out of character that I disregarded the readings and surmised that such results were probably not worth blogging about as I assumed that I must have done something in error to have such a strange occurrence of the measured variables. I was so convinced that I must have tainted the readings that I did not even bother to get a barometer reading for the time of my Tornado Taming for that day. Now I wish I had documented the matter at the time of the readings. Live and learn, I suppose. It would be nice to have better and continuous monitoring to see if my theory truly is accurate or merely a coincidence. Maybe some day I will have the resources for continuous monitoring.
Again, in my opinion, my theory appears as too far outside-the-box for the paradigm-laden tornado researchers of our nation and era to garnish any support from them in this regard. As is typical and to be expected, the paradigm-laden individuals of our world likely have nothing to gain by supporting research that is not in keeping with their paradigms. Such support would seem to appear as a no-win situation for them and I’m sure they believe themselves well-justified to keep their billions of dollars in support to themselves and only to themselves.

Winter Storms In California.
January 23rd, 2010
In California, even the winter storms are cool – assuming the storm is not lethal, of course! (And no, by "cool," I am not referring to any temperature one way or the other.)

Tornado Taming During Winter Storms
February 10th, 2010
Over the last two weeks or so, I’ve been out taking ‘snap shots’ with my crude weather model to see what it has to say. During this time, significant winter storms have been rolling onto the California coast (causing tornadoes, waterspouts, thunderstorms, rain, floods, mud slides, closed roads, evacuations, snow and ice in the mountains, some impressive winter-storm scenery, and rainbows as well).
With the monitoring of my weather model, the period has been somewhat weird and turbulent to say the least. Many variables seem to say no subsequent severe weather for the heartland, while other observations seem to say that strange weather may have in fact be headed into the interior – other than the precipitation that makes it over the mountains, that is. I really need some long term and permanent monitoring devices, unfortunately.

Funnel Clouds or Tornadoes in Contra Costa County, California?
January 23rd, 2010
It was reported on all the San Francisco television news stations this evening that multiple funnel clouds appeared in Contra Costa County, California area. As yet, it has not been determined if any of the funnel clouds touched down to become a tornado but such was reported as ‘being investigated’ by the National Weather Service. Again, fortunately, there were no reported injuries.
Of late, it sure seems like a lot of tornadic activity in areas where such typically would seem unlikely. I wonder what’s up with that Army HARP Program project anyhow? Could endeavors such as that be affecting the weather or is such merely a product of my imagination? Of course, given the clandestine nature of our tax dollars in any defense related endeavors, what have we to surmise other than products of our imaginations?
