Illinois pulse severe storms - July 12
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. |
A bit of a letdown today, as downstream convection fouled the environment for a would-be bow echo complex moving southeastward out of northeast Missouri. My chase was short, going only as far as Hillsboro, IL (east of I-55) to position for the bow echo that wasn't. As is typical for midsummer high-cape, weak-upper-flow days in the Midwest, there was lots of lightning, heavy rain and a few interesting cloud features, but not much in the way of photo-capturable material. I did get hit by a small but intense downburst south of Hillsboro that shredded trees along the road, but it happened too fast to get cameras on it.
