Close lightning, close to home - June 16, 2014
|
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. |
DASHCAM VIDEO: Close lightning strikes near New Baden
After expecting to pursue supercells on Sunday evening then lightning overnight, the atmosphere had other ideas. Storms did not develop at all, and I never left home until just before sunrise this morning. I logged 4 miles total - traveling 2 miles south of my apartment to watch new storms pass by to the south of New Baden. The storms backbuilt to the west and eventually moved north - just as they did, a barrage of close bolts rained down. I managed to capture one:

More images from the storms south of town - this first one shows the growing sunrise light to the left, accenting a curling rain foot from the storm's precip core:
Two simultaneous tornadoes near pilger, and I'm not talking one main one and one satellite one. Two violent tornadoes a few miles apart. Their paths were slightly different. The town seemed to have gotten some pretty bad damage. Prayers to all affected.

Pilger, Nebraska. I don't think I've ever seen two simultaneous violent tornadoes at once. Historic for sure. Ben mcmillan got it all live.
