4/7 chase - southwestern Illinois
|
In September of 2025, my work is generating the most income it ever has in my career. Yet, I'm being forced to shut down my successul operation, against my will, due to one cause alone: 95% of that revenue is being stolen by piracy and copyright infringement. 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. Do not be misled by the lies of infringers, anti-copyright activists and organized piracy cartels. This page is a detailed, evidenced account of my battle I had to undertake to just barely stay in business, and eventually could not overcome. It's a problem faced by all of my colleagues and most other creators in the field. |
With a unidirectional wind profile, veering in the low levels, marginal instability and linear forcing, I didn't expect to see anything today. But it was in my backyard, so I went anyway. I ended up near Nashville, IL before turning around to head home. I saw maybe 5 cloud-to-ground lightning strikes all afternoon, and found no hail in any of the cores (WxWorx algorithm had some 1" and 1.5" markers, but none that I sampled verified). I observed nothing remotely supercellular, just a few high, ragged shelf clouds here and there.

This should be it for us for a while. Possibly a cold-core storm or two tomorrow to watch out for, since they've happened two days in a row now west of here.
