Analysis of the 6 November 2005 KEVV tornado
I am coming close to concluding my case study on the 11-6-2005 EVV event... A lot of interesting features surrounding the event. Including a mesolow analyzed in western Kentucky prior to the destructive tornadoes (the "EVV" supercell and the Crittenden Co. supercell just to it's south), which were both on the ground at the same time (and simuler in intensity). Looking over SPC mesoanalysis graphics from the timeframe, most svr params were maxed around the area immediately near the mesolow feature (VGP, EHI, STP, SCP). Additionally, modifying the 00Z ILX sounding to KEVV's sfc conditions at 0700 UTC yielded 2300 J/kg of CAPE by lifting a surface-based parcel (and slightly less by using a mean mixing layer parcel from the lowest 100mb AGL). The environment surrounding the destructive tornadic supercells was charactorized by both large CAPE and very large SRH. It was a very interesting and unique event, and will hopefully have the study completed by mid-week. I'll have it available on my site in PDF format.

In other words, I think I found my new ride... After thinking, I have decided to get a used car. I found a sweet 2002 Mustang with 42,000 miles for $10,900 online (here in Metro Detroit). I want a car that will last me for a good 2-4 years (and this car should definitely last me a few). It's a sweet ride and quite affordable for me.
