Tower lightning video - 9 hits in HD!
|
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. |
Here is the HD video from yesterday's tower lightning shoot, a total of 9 strikes in the course of 90 minutes:

Lots of leaders emanating from the tip in this frame. Also notice the 'oxbow channel' effect - you can see the remant path of an earlier return stroke drifting off to the right, while a new channel is formed to make a more direct path to the tower tip. Similar to a river bypassing a curve and forming an oxbow lake:
