Just a few quick notes on the Ranger recently, I did add in a nice Quantum LED Headlight from Harbor Freight for an additional light in case its needed! Was on sale for only a few bucks and a very nice light!
Additionally, back on May 19th, was out with the ranger checking out some great (in the eye of the beholder) weather in SE Michigan, which is also pretty rare for this area! We had a strong line of thunderstorms turn into what is called a bow echo, and I was right at the front of that bow echo before it started to split!
You can see my location in the radar image noted by the blue circle, and a few shots from the ground! The rack on the back of the truck made for a great hand hold and stabilizing mechanism for getting some great shots! Gave me a few ideas to find a way to add some weather instrumentation to the rack at some point as well! Being a meteorologist and a Storm Spotter and Chaser, I think that could be pretty cool!
Anyways, unfortunately, the northern side of the bow echo of this storm broke off and actually developed a tornado which traveled roughly from Armada, MI NE towards Port Huron, MI and did cause some damage, knocking down some barns and trees, but thankfully no injuries! It was rated as an EF0.
