Day 5: Oklahoma

By DAN ROBINSON

Editor/Photographer

From Dan: How the crime of copyright infringement took $1 million from me and brought down my business.

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.

Update 11:02PM Sunday, (Posted via BlackBerry from Tulsa, OK):
Caught some very nice lightning at sunset at Miami, Oklahoma. Currently in Tulsa awaiting more storms later tonight.

Update 9:44AM Sunday, (Posted via Office from New Baden, IL):
Oklahoma-bound in a couple of hours (after church) for a nighttime lightning chase to precede tomorrow's event. As a low-level jet strengthens later tonight, elevated thunderstorms should develop in eastern Oklahoma/Kansas and western Missouri by evening, providing some opportunities for lightning photography. Target for tonight's lightning session is Coweta, OK.
