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.
With every problem comes an eventual solution. I've been considering doing this for several years, but for some reason never decided to move on it until now. I've received many emails over the years asking about this type of service, but the 'light bulb' never really came on until this week. If this works out, storm chase expeditions to the Plains will be a regular thing!
So give this a look - and if you've got that friend who's always wanted to go tornado chasing (or if you're that person yourself), pass the word along!
Based on the current outlook, this probability table charts the chance of our trip starting on a particular date:
