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. |
Sunday afternoon and evening, moderate convection was producing a few scattered showers and light thunderstorms across West Virginia. The following are captures from video of an interesting cloud formation over Charleston at about 7:15pm. This narrow tower to the west began to build rapidly, and quickly hit a ceiling and 'anviled out'. However, the condensation at the cloud base diminished while the updraft continued lifting the cloud skyward. This resulted in a very odd-shaped formation- sort of a 'storm-less anvil'. The following sequence of images were 5 minutes apart:


Later that evening, lightning was visible to the east as a few cells managed to build to thunderstorm levels.
