Mobile Storm Center

I love technology! I now have everything I need in the Wood Ford StormTRACKER. This evening I worked on the technology to have access to every computer in the StormCenter and it has paid off. From now on I can access StormTRACK Doppler 8 and all of the computers that make our graphics.

This is going to help me greatly! For example, tomorrow I am going "live" from the Loose Caboose Festival. I can leave the house, make my graphics on location, manipulate StormTRACK Doppler 8, and even click through my graphics out in the field! It's literally a mobile Storm Center now.

With an Internet air card, webcam, mic, GPS, TwitterDeck, and Gibson Ridge Radar.... I can literally go live on location with all of the weather data that I need from one vehicle and can produce a LIVE broadcast. Add in the top of the line radio equipment from Paragould Communications and I can't imagine anything else I need in a chase vehicle!

Can you tell that I'm excited?
