Tornado threat continues, chase possible

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.

Wednesday's event in Oklahoma and Missouri came up short in the terms of the number of tornado reports. However, this same system has another chance to produce over the Midwest, particularly in Indiana and eastern Illinois. The proximity of this setup along with the forecast tornado chances will probably tip the scales in favor of a chase for me. Due to the highly dynamic nature of this system, I will have to wait until morning pick a target after I've had a chance to look at data at daybreak - particularly the visible satellite image. Areas of clearing will probably be the key to the target. The two primary broad target options are Jasper, Indiana (I-64 west out of Charleston) or Indianapolis (Route 35 west out of Charleston), to be narrowed down futher in the morning. I am leaning toward Indy at the moment.

Here is today's (Thursday's) outlook from the SPC:
