2018 Great Plains season epilogue undo: Trip #4 preview
|
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 highly anomalous re-appearance of the jet stream across the southern Great Plains beginning on June 22 was the impetus for a quite unexpected Plains storm chase expedition #4 for the year. I had previously never covered the Great Plains later than June 14, as every year, the jet stream has permanently migrated far to the north by the middle of the month.
Trip #4 was a two-day run, leaving St. Louis before dawn on Saturday the 23rd (storm chase day 11 for 2018) and returning late on Sunday the 24th (Day 12). The only storm chase day of the trip was on the 23rd. I will compile some photos and videos for a proper chase log later, but here are a couple of highlights:
