Great shots! That one tornado looks a little too close for comfort!

Thanks! Very close... I have video but its a rather large file. Nick from ETT estimates we were in 110mph winds. Initial NWS rating is only EF2 for that tornado, but i can swear to you it was EF3 at time of interception for at least a short time. Luckily it was in an open flat area with little to interact with and no damage to survey. I couldn't fit the whole base in the camera eye...

Hi all,

the North Jersey Weather Observers is hosting Dave Robinson, NJ State Climatologist on Tues. June 11th at 7 pm at the Westwood Public Library. It is open to the public if you're interested. Unfortunately, I will only be there from about 6:30-7 to get him set up and then I have to leave, so if you want to say hi, come early!

Speaking of models, it looks like it will be getting warmer soon (?)

Peeps,

Do not know where to put this so I am posting this here to share with my NJ Strong Wx familia. .

I have been somewhat MIA since the beginning of April when I was diagnosed with colon cancer. I teach and taught a world renowned surgeons sons and have a very good relationship with the family over the past 7 years so I decided to use this contact. I contacted him for help and that he did out of Columbia Presbyterian referring me to a world renowned colorectal surgeon. I had successful laparoscopic colon surgery where they removed 12" of my large intestines on May 1st. How I found this tumor was (no pun intended) but through the back door. I thought I was having a heart attack and rushed to the hospital only to find out it was not a heart attack (thank God) BUT I was down 8-9 pints of blood after blood work, I was internally bleeding. After a CT scan and a Colonoscopy (~ 15K for sticking a hose up ones *****!) with a few biopsies a week later it came back the tumor that was obstructing 2/3 of colon was indeed cancer. My surgeon and I ripped the GI and pathology department since they really bumfucked this important test, took so long to get the findings. After the pathology report from the surgery it was concluded I was low risk Stage 3. Only 1 out of 19 lymph nodes were infected and it was the node right above the tumor, it is non genetic and non aggressive cancer and was isolated to that spot. This is the same area where I had massive surgery back in 1993 when I was 23 - a coincidence - perhaps but no new dr is touching that one (CYA in full effect there) but I along with old GI from then whom I am friendly with believe it is quite possible (he is the head of the GI dept at St Joe Medical Center in Paterson here). Thank God, yes I do, it did not spread to anywhere else in my body. SO I have come all the way back from the surgery and blood loss and started "light" chemotherapy this past Thursday - 5 cycles in all (only 4 left!!) of three week lengths both IV and Oral and should wrap this up come later September just in time for us to start ramping up our winter talk and guys like CP and Syo start to come awake from Hibernation!! I am doing well and will beat this, hell I basically have so far and I am on my last lap with a few hurdles to go. I'll clear these as well. I held off on telling my son who was graduating HS so as to not make this about me and have him worry but let him enjoy these days of his senior year which he did and I am glad I did. So, I shall be here and this gives me positive vibes discussing a passion, the weather.

Thanks my NJ Strong Family and have a great day.

Congrats! That's awesome! I did my Masters online, so fortunate to have the opportunity to go back to school at middle age and not have to sit in a classroom.
