May somebody, who deleted my post send me a PM and tell me what was wrong with it?EDIT: HAHAHAHAHAHA i got PM......... ;)REPOSTING:Since theres a lot of comotion about these storms lately, hes a free lesson of physics: storm detection.As many of you perhaps know, the device for detections is called a doppler radar.INTERLUDE: Doppler Effect. When an object is hit by a wave, the wave gets refracted/reflected. If the object is stationary, then besides the change in direction of wave and occasional phase shift (Pi/2), nothing else happens to the wave. But if object is moving, then the wave length is affected. When object is moving towards the observer, the wave gets 'compressed' - you get shorter wave (blueshift). The other way around, if object is moving away, the wave gets 'stretched' - longer is the wave (redshift). You can explain it this way: Lets say we have constant emmision (static initial wave length). If it hits static object, then in the period of time same number of 'wave points' hit the object and same amount gets bounced back. When object is moving towards observer - there are more 'points' hitting the objects in the same period of time, thus the bounced wave gets shorter. When object is moving away, less points hit the object in the same period of time - longer wave.The doppler radar uses microwaves, which are highly reflectable by atmospheric phenomena (storms). The reflected wave carries two messages hidden in the wave: range from point (time between transmition and detection) and projection of velocity vector on the radar-point axis (length shift). By using a network of doppler radars, we can traingulate the position of a specific point and we can build whole velocity vector of that point. Getting many points we get that very colorfull map of yours.....END OF LESSON. Tommorow and egzam...

I am back...I was able to come home early this morning. There are still a lot of our people down there and being rotated in. I left my camera down there with a friend so when he comes home I will have some more pics. We were so busy I didnt have a lot of time to snap pics when I was down there. There was a looter that used a car to run down a local cop not far from where we were. It looked and felt like a war zone. We were in some places close to projects where we would hear gun fire all night long. In some of the real bad places civilians were not even allowed in. It looked like nuke had went off.I tell you what though after several days of eating MREs I have new found respect for our military deployed not getting regular meals. They are not that bad as long as you dont eat anything with the name chicken in them.

statey!!! nice to see you back and in one peice. Oh ya im gaining on u in the SFL stats so u better watch out and play
