Geared up and ready to go!

It's Wednesday and we're looking at the a forecast that looks good for some severe weather. I think we're ready to capture it.

We brought with us three of Sony XDCAM EX cameras, the cameras we use every day to shoot news. We'll make the best use of those we can. We also have a camera dedicated to streaming video, another small HD camera mounted inside a car to roll on a storm as we drive and another, the GoPro Hero camera the can be mounted anywhere we want it, inside or out. It's wide-angle lens gives us an almost panoramic view of the horizon ahead.

We also have four laptops, one we can use to stream video, another to watch radar and other weather information and the others to edit and store the video we shoot.

We hope with all these tools we can capture not just great video of a storm as it happens but also the essence of the phenomenon of storm chasing as it happens.
