Tropics going nuts

From Dan: How the crime of copyright infringement took $1 million from me and shut down my operation.

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.

I don't have any real commentary to post about this, but it's worth a mention that we are on the verge of possibly having four simultaneous tropical systems in the Atlantic/Gulf regions.

OK, I live in Phoenix Arizona, and we had the weirdest lightning storm I've ever seen except for the time I was attending college in Duluth Minnesota in 92', and it was lightning and thunder with 5ft. of snow over 3 days. Last night the sky would light up in a 360 degree format, but no bolts/streaks of lightning, but would light up blue and green. What causes the coloring? Stumped in AZ

Terri, it sounds like you were seeing power flashes (arcing power lines). These can be caused by high winds and lightning strikes to live lines. I have an old page on this subject up here.
