2009 Midwest storm chase expedition #1
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. |
Some nice lightning near Ferdinand, Indiana this evening to help redeem the trip:

Currently in Louisville waiting to see if some new development to the west will roll through and provide more lightning ops.

Currently stopped for the night east of STL. Target tomorrow will still depend on morning data. For now, here is a new vantage point of Louisville I found:

Westbound on I-64 in May again - this time not for the Plains, but for a potent midwestern severe weather event slated for tomorrow. A setup like this within my 'home chase area' is always welcome - as I should be able to make it home at the end of the day. Shear profiles and instability are supportive of supercells mainly across Illinois tomorrow afternoon, but I'm eyeing central and southern Indiana as well - particularly if ongoing convection ruins the better target into IL/MO. The plan tonight is to camp out near Evansville, and refine the target in the morning pending a review of data. I pondered leaving early Wednesday morning, but decided to leave this afternoon to make tomorrow's day a little easier. That means I'm also able to enjoy the leisurely drive westward through Bluegrass country today.
Love No 2 Nice thinking !!
