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.
We just made Matt's flight reservation from Raleigh to Oklahoma City on Sunday evening after he leaves his work. This means we're pretty much committed to this trip. I may be leaving here as early as tomorrow afternoon (Saturday) to make it a more leisurely drive to get to OKC in time for the 10PM flight arrival.
The GFS is waffling again on early May, so we're back to equal percentages for our main storm chase expedition.
Based on the current outlook, this probability table charts the chance of our trip starting on a particular date:
