Long-lived funnel over Mascoutah, IL - August 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. |

This was the first funnel observed over Highway 161 west of New Baden:
I also observed stationary "micro" precip cores on the road in the vicinity of the funnel no more than 15 to 20 feet wide:
The funnel appeared between two nearly stationary thunderstorms, both of which appeared to be rooting on a boundary in mean westerly flow aloft.
