Steam devil season begins - September 14
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. |
The first big overnight temperature drops of the meteorological fall season are here, which means it's time for "steam devils" as the cool morning air settles in over the still-warm waters in lakes, ponds and rivers. These small vortices are like tiny tornadoes as they spin over the open water. With our recent highs nearing 100°F, the sudden arrival of upper 40°F lows Saturday morning meant that the air/water temperature difference was going to be on the extreme side. However, this morning's steam devils weren't as impressive as I'd hoped. These small ones appeared on the lake along Highway 161 north of Mascoutah, Illinois (St. Clair County) this morning.

Conditions will be favorable for these during the next one or two mornings, so keep an eye out for them right after sunrise.
