June 18 storms and hydroplaning
|
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. |
Not much to post about from today, other than a 30-second burst of pea-sized hail with a few lightning strikes in Charleston. I followed along behind the storm on Route 60 east expecting to get a lightning/rainbow combo opportunity, but didn't see anything worthy of stopping and shooting. I encountered a close call due to a deep pool of standing water in the passing lane, losing front steering control for a second or two at 50mph and bumping my left wheels into the center concrete divider (which probably kept me from either spinning out in front of the coal truck or veering into oncoming traffic). Another example of how the road is by far the biggest danger for a storm chaser, not the storms themselves.

Nothing really 'capturable on camera' presented itself this afternoon, but the view of the incoming storm from near Greenbrier Street had some decent contrast:
