Chase Gear Upgrade

Hey everyone, just gonna post some quick info on the weather across the nation right now:
-Large haboob (dust storm) ongoing in the eastern Texas Panhandle off east of Lubbock
-Line of severe thunderstorms along a front with modest dewpoints in south-central Oklahoma (see photo)
-Tropical disturbance off of Key West causing flooding inland as well as bring the threat of waterspouts




Now onto the chase gear upgrade. During the off-season I'm saving up for a variety of new "toys" for lack of a better word. The highest right now is a new camera. I'm aiming to get a Canon EOS Rebel T3i so I'll be able to take better photos that won't turn out as grainy without being processed. I'll have a more comprehensive list coming later in the week.

Here's the storms in Oklahoma:
Base Reflectivity (0.5 degrees) and Storm Relative Velocity (0.5 degrees). KTLX (OKC) radar
