A genuine February chase

By From http://stormsrus.blogspot.com/ • Feb 21st, 2014 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

Now there’s something that doesn’t happen every year…a storm chase in Virginia during February. But with the models showing very impressive shear values plus a squall line pressing across the Old Dominion I couldn’t stay at home. That explains my oh-…



Can I Petition to Have Traffic Fines Reduced Even if the Case is Old?

By From http://www.andrewflusche.com • Feb 21st, 2014 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

Typically not. In Virginia you have several options if you have been found guilty of a traffic or misdemeanor offense. However, your options expire very quickly as time goes by. Your first option to try to have your fine reduced would be to file a motion to reopen the case. This option expires 60 days […]



Oh yeah, there will be chasing tomorrow morning

Any doubts I had were erased after watching the last few short range models runs (RAP and HRRR). I’m deploying to the Chatham VA vicinity (U.S. Rte 29) by 8 a.m. tomorrow morning to intercept this:15Z SCP graphic. Chatham at black dotThe supercell comp…



I am 17 and got a Ticket. Will my License be Suspended?

By From http://www.andrewflusche.com • Feb 20th, 2014 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

If you are a driver who is 16 or 17 years old, the DMV has different rules that govern whether or not you get suspended for tickets. In general, the best rule of thumb is that for a first ticket the DMV will not suspend you, but the court might depending upon the actual nature […]



Latest chase book undergoing final edits

By From http://stormsrus.blogspot.com/ • Feb 19th, 2014 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

Received the proof copy of Storm Chasing Southern Virginia yesterday and have gone through it a couple of times. I found very few text errors (grammar, spelling, formatting, etc) but as usual the printed photos look a lot different than on my laptop sc…



In Virginia, Must You Sign the Ticket the Officer Gives You? Are You Admitting Guilt?

By From http://www.andrewflusche.com • Feb 19th, 2014 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

If you’re issued a ticket for a traffic or misdemeanor offense in Virginia, the officer brings the ticket to you and normally asks you to sign on the form. A lot of times people wonder what that means when they’re signing the ticket. When you read the Virginia Uniform Summons, you will see that the […]



Despite some SPC buzz no chasing Friday

By From http://stormsrus.blogspot.com/ • Feb 18th, 2014 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

Despite the chase opportunity this graphic might indicate the activity doesn’t look all that promising. The main lifting mechanism – a cold front – will be east of I-95 by 1 p.m. and peak heating won’t factor into this setup. There may be a few decent …

I got Caught Shoplifting. What can I do to get it off my Record?

By From http://www.andrewflusche.com • Feb 18th, 2014 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

First of all, if you’re simply charged or alleged to have shoplifted it is not on your record yet necessarily. In the United States you are presumed innocent until you’re found guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. So you certainly have a chance to have your day in court and see if the Commonwealth can prove […]



Do you Need a Lawyer for a First-Offense Shoplifting Case?

By From http://www.andrewflusche.com • Feb 17th, 2014 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

Yes. In Virginia a charge of shoplifting, even for a first offense is a misdemeanor if the value of the goods that you allegedly stole is less than $200.00. If it’s $200.00 or more than you’re actually charged with a felony even if it’s your first offense in most cases. The potential punishment for a […]
