October Sky
|
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. |
Storms are not the norm here in October, but occasionally a rare cold front will bring some lightning to the mountains in the fall- as happened in October 1999. Here, anvil crawlers herald the approach of a strong storm with heavy rains that would ransack Charleston a half an hour later. The view is looking northwest from the parking lot next to Kanawha City Baptist church. The building on the right is Lippert Terrace on MacCorkle Avenue. |
