RIP Andy Gabrielson
We are saddened to report the loss of fellow chaser, Andy Gabrielson in an Oklahoma traffic accident this afternoon. He was 24, a chaser of six years, and owner of the chasing website www.findthetornado.com. Most of all, he was a proud father of a 3-year old daughter. He will be deeply missed by the storm chasing and weather community and our prayers and thoughts go out to the Gabrielson family and all of his friends.

Iowastorms Under New Management
Dear Friends,
As many of you already know, the iowastorms.com website will not be closing. I have taken ownership of the site and will have Josh continue as a moderator.
I would personally like to thank our founding father, Kenny, for creating the site and building the community up to what it is today. If you get a chance, please send thanks his way through the shoutbox or forums. Without him, none of us would be here.
If you have any suggestions for the site, please feel free to send me an email. I look forward to continuing to build the site and community, while holding the high standards that Kenny has set.
Thanks,
Ryan

- jrichardson5 : Ryan, sent you a PM to see if we can add a picture of GR over KS tonight to the module for Andy. I'm heading to bed for the night but I'll talk to you tomorrow.
- Joe : I did miss your post.
- jrichardson5 : BTW, you can manually position your icon with the correct GPS coordinates to be in a certain spot, that is how this was done tonight
- jrichardson5 : Yep, you must have missed when I said to check that out earlier.
- Joe : Look at GR3 over Kansas. Spotters have aligned to spell AG.
- jrichardson5 : They just aired that tribute for Andy on TWC...
- Joe : You are right... I used to date a girl from there. Peggi. Summer of '79.
- jrichardson5 : Correction it was Luverne MN I was thinking of.
- jrichardson5 : Yeah Joe, I think it was Jackson MN where he was from. I remember it was somewhere over there on I90. After he got more and more into storm chasing he moved down to OK, at least thats why Im assuming he went down there.
- jrichardson5 : Thanks Tommy, I've switched it over to TWC now.
- tommyd : I heard that Andy will be remembered on the weather channel in 15 minutes on weather center live.
