Northcentral NC tornadoes & dramatic video from Alabama
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. |
Four blog posts in 24 hours? Must be May..... Quite an intense severe weather event on Thursday night across the Piedmont/foothills regions of Virginia and North Carolina. I've been watching radar off and on during the event and have noticed a few intense circulations on radar. Damage is being reported with many of these storms, which jugding from the strong circulations were likely caused by tornadoes. A few tornado reports centered around the Greensboro/Winston-Salem area note numerous vehicles overturned on I-40.

The squall line that eventually evolved from this complex is one of the stronger ones I've seen on radar for this region. I gave a brief consideration to chasing this event, but elected to stay home. I don't regret that decision due to the fact that most of the action happened at night, but still an interesting event nonetheless.
On a related note, check out this video from Huntsville, Alabama, showing a detailed view of a tornado tossing cars in a parking lot! This is one of the most impressive tornado videos I've seen lately:

North Carolina and Virginia may continue to be a severe weather hotspot this weekend. The pattern for Sunday looks very interesting to me, so much so that I won't rule out a chase. In fact, if events like this continue, I'll forego a Plains trip and focus on these closer-to-home opportunities!
