June 18 storms, round 2
|
I've lost more than $1 million to copyright infringement in the last 15 years, and it's finally brought an end to my professional storm chasing operation. This page is a detailed account of the biggest threat to my photography and video operation that I had to battle daily to just barely survive, and eventually could not overcome. It's a problem facing all of my colleagues as well. |
A second round of storms moving just south of the metro area before sunset was enough to get back out and chase. Despite their meager radar presentation, these cells were impressive lightning producers. The fog forming on the mountain ridges as the outflow arrived was pretty cool to watch.
