December, 2010: Fixated on visions of being successful; Terry Tyler continued chasing his childhood dreams and growing as an individual. God provided him with life-taught lessons he needed in order to survive: losing, loving, learning, and above all maintaining. The young man faced new and unprecedented challenges never before seen. The loss of loved ones, severe financial hardship, homelessness, helplessness, and almost...hopelessness. The only chance to maintain was to auction off the instruments he worked years to obtain.  In his mind, each piece of equipment was a piece of the puzzle, a tool. Each tool performs a different task with the ultimate goal of reaching peace, success, and stability. Losing the tools meant failure, failure is something more feared than death. The spark of hope buried deep inside left that day.   I auctioned off my storm equipment and lost my only ride. Honestly, I didn't expect things to turn out the way they did and I didn't expect to be writing this today.I dont want pity, and I dont give a shit about attention. I want people to know the truth, and as Scott Olsen said - "Follow my rise to Power".
I knew the chances of being a starter in 2011 without tools were slim at best. I had the skill, but I didnt have shit but a couple cellphones. From a coaches point of view, I saw that point in my career an appropriate time to shut this shit down for my names sake. I felt attempting to make big plays first quarter going in raw dog was disrespectful and would show fans I was falling off instead of matching the bullshit hype I talked late 2010. After 6 years, if I spent first quarter 2011 as a bench-warmer - I didn't need to chase storms because it would embarrass me.
 but thats a pussies attitude and daddy aint leave no pussy 2011 AND WE STILL HERE !!! God has blessed me with heart and a rare passion - It would be disrespectful to let something Ive spent my life on pass without trying to flex something. Working with ghetto ass shit is very familiar to me - Its how I began and I dont mind going back to my roots if the forecast calls for it. Working from the bottom to the top makes each score twice as rewarding. The fact %95 of your name-brand chasers began halfway to the top just makes me hungry. With that said, lets eat - You are here reading this shit, so you must have been watching the game play out. If you havent, you must have been asleep or not paying attention. Believe me when I say, I am going to walk on 2011 whether im broke or not - No Radar, No GPS, No Cameras.  watch me score 100 ---------------------------------------------------------- 4-4-11: The severe threat came into the area early and actually come close to verifying for a change. There have been several high-end systems lately that produced very intense energy in one or two spots. Each had the potential to run-D on this region, but they did not establish into the widespread outbreak some expected. I scored a Severe Warned storm near Tupelo and a Tornado Warned storm outside of Centerville. Thats alot better than anyone else did if there was anyone else actually chasing. Severe Thunderstorm above Tupelo, MS  Tornado Warned storm Southeast of Centerville, MS  I took these with the blackberry and image quality is much better than I thought. If the pictures look like this, Im going John Woo on that shit with a phone in each hand. Keep an eye out for more storms ! - Terry |
