Sierra Parks…over and out!
Wow, SWIFT is coming to a close and it seems unreal! I am going to have to go back to normal life
soon not revolved around hourly HRRR model updates, mesoscale discussions, and
living in a van with 11 other people. It
is nice to think that I will not be sitting for 10+ hours a day, but I will
miss SWIFT nonetheless! This has been an
amazing experience, one I will never forget.
I have learned so much in such a short time, about both the weather and
the logistics (and pleasing the Queen). Two
tornadoes and countless storms later I feel qualified as an experienced storm
chaser.

I could not have asked for a better group of mids to be
stuck in a van with, it is amazing how cohesive we became. Personally I am amazed by the lack of
friction there was between us, we were warned about how everyone gets flustered
and tension builds in the group. But it
was a pleasure to work with these mids!

Thanks for everything team SWIFT! And remember to always chase
in May!!
