10/5 Illinois storms
|
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. This page is a detailed account of the biggest threat to my photography and video operation that I had to battle daily to just barely survive, and eventually could not overcome. It's a problem facing all of my colleagues as well. |
I ended up going out for just over a half an hour Saturday to grab a few quick shots. The storms were strongly outflow dominant and not worth following any farther east. I chose not to leave again for the unexpected increase in tornado risk after dark, since it would have required more than 2 hours worth of driving to reach. These two images were taken in the Bartelso/Okawville area.
