Is there a meteorologist in the house?

I find myself in need of a meteorologist to assist me with...well, to assist me with things that I am not presently at liberty to discuss, but trust me, it'll be fun. I've already spoken to a climatologist about global warming and various other factors, but now? Now I need to construct a really awesome storm.

If you can help, or know someone who can, please drop me a line, either here or via the contact form on my website.

Thanks!

I used a supercell storm in the novel that Sheila is reading now - Shades of Gray. Found the info by googling it. Here's a couple of good explanations with diagrams. I wanted my storm to cut out all land to space comms while I was bombarding asteroids at the planet and doing a HALO drop. :)

Awesome! Because my storm needs to do specific things, I'm sticking with my subject matter experts, but that sounds kick-ass.
