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.
The cap wins today. We (Justin Teague, Greg McLaughlin and I) targeted the Enid, OK area, where two intersecting boundaries and great instability held some potential if storms could initiate - which they never did. Just now arriving back in Tulsa. Most likely will be chasing again in central or southwest Oklahoma tomorrow.

Today's setup has really diminished due to the lack of a dryline-sharpening surface low to our west. However, strong instability and a few outflow boundaries may provide something chase-worthy this afternoon and possibly again tomorrow. Due to the close proximity of today's and tomorrow's setups to Tulsa (both around central OK), I may stick around just to see what happens.
Some strong storms are already firing upstream of Tulsa this morning. Though it is daylight now (no lightning photography), I have plenty of time - so I may go out in a few minutes just to watch the lightning.
Hey Dan I am sitting in perry right under the OFB here. What are you going to do today? - Posted by Kurt Hulst
Hey Kurt, we were in Perry briefly this afternoon. Sorry we missed you - if you're still in OK tomorrow, give me a call! - Posted by Dan R. from Tulsa, OK
Dan we left Perry around noon and headed to OKC. You can see my report on ST. Are you guys coming down for today in TX? Give me a call or shoot me an email. It would be nice to meet up again.
