6/20 Shiloh, IL growing convection
|
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. |
HD EXPEDITION VIDEO: Growing cumulonimbus with pileus (realtime!)
I went out this evening to shoot a small thunderstorm cell building along an outflow boundary south of I-64 near Shiloh, about 10 miles from home. Looking nearly straight up, the view of the rapidly growing convection was mesmerizing. The video link above is not a time lapse - it is the actual 'real time' motion of the rapidly growing storm tops. The first segment in the clip shows the development of a 'pileus cap', a cloud formation that results from the updraft 'doming up' a thin layer of moisture aloft (causing condensation) and then punching through it.
There were some CGs going on under the storm, but I only turned the video on it once the cumulonimbus tops were out of view - the show high in the sky was better than the lightning.
